\nJay-Z\u2019s third and most hotly anticipated concert at Yankee Stadium on Sunday night was plagued by a nearly four-hour delay, apparently due to fans rushing the venue\u2019s gates.<\/p>\n

\n\tAt the time of this article\u2019s publication, Jay-Z\u2019s bandmembers had taken the stage at around 11:50 p.m. ET, although it was unclear whether the show would go forward; Variety<\/em>\u2019s reporter at the show, who has been inside since 7 p.m., said the stadium appears quite full but evidently thousands of people are still waiting to get in.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe band is still onstage and they\u2019re just playing Ice Cube and Tupac songs over the sound system,\u201d he said at 12:01 a.m. ET.<\/p>\n

\n\tA partially unintelligible announcement said the stadium staff were \u201cworking as hard as we can to get people in safely,\u201d the announcer said. \u201cSafety is the number-one priority for us and for Jay. We thank you for waiting, please stick with us while we work through this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tReps for Jay-Z and Live Nation, the concert\u2019s promoter, did not immediately respond to Variety\u2019s requests for comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to a report on New York\u2019s ABC7, citing an unidentified police source, and multiple social media posts, a large number of fans rushed at least two of the stadium\u2019s gates and got past security without being screened. A full lockdown of the stadium ensued, with fans neither being allowed out of the venue nor inside.<\/p>\n

\n\tA video making the rounds online appeared to show A$AP Rocky, Charlamagne Tha God and Fabolous waiting to get in, with the caption \u201cWow even celebrities are stuck outside the last Jay Z yankee stadium show tonight \ud83d\ude2d.\u201d<\/p>\n
