Beyonce surprised her fans when she started smoking during her Cowboy Carter concert tour stop in Paris, France over the weekend.
On Sunday, the superstar pulled out a cigarette mid-performance and started pretending to puff on the prop during her show.
As seen in fan-taken footage at previous shows, she takes ‘smoking hot’ literally during the gig and goes onstage to theatrically light a piano on fire.
With a stadium full of her cheering fans, Beyonce stepped out in a glamorous outfit with a fur vest with an incredibly long train trailing behind her as she strutted around onstage.
She wore a sparkly, silver bustier paired with high-waisted, cheeky microshorts and over-the-knee cowboy boots.
As like her previous shows, the singer-songwriter made her concert in the City of Lights a family affair as she performed with her eldest daughter Blue Ivy.
Beyonce’s mom Tina Knowles was also reportedly in attendance alongside eight-year-old daughter Rumi Carter but her twin brother Sir Carter did not make an appearance.
The Texas Hold ‘Em hitmaker pulled out all the stops for her third and final show in Paris as she brought out her husband Jay-Z for a surprise performance.
For the first time in seven years, the rapper joined her onstage to close out the show.
Fan footage circulating online, including a clip by Cardi B, who was in the audience, showed Beyoncé stepping aside during Crazy in Love as Jay made a sudden appearance on stage to rap his verse.
In addition, Jay also joined his wife for a version of 2013’s Drunk in Love, remixed with Partition, and his own N***** in Paris, which was originally a collaboration with Kanye West.
However, the rappers are currently feuding, following Kanye’s shocking tweets attacking Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and their young children.
Seemingly as a a result, Jay Z took a subtle swipe at the controversial rapper as he switched up the lyrics on the track.
During the song, he rapped: ‘Gold bottles, scold models, Spillin’ Ace on my sick J’s. (Ball so hard) B***h, behave. Just might let you meet Bey’ – using his wife’s name instead of Ye’s.
Fans were quick to notice the change, taking to X/Twitter to share: ‘JAYZ changing the lyrics to “i just might let u meet bey”’;
‘After the way Kanye talked about his kids .jay is done with ye for good’; ‘Don’t blame it. Talk about my damn kids you dead to me. Forever!’;
‘You see he’s over Kanye & his mess he changed the lyrics’.
In March, it was claimed Beyoncé and Jay-Z were considering taking legal action against Kanye after his disturbing social media post about their twins Rumi and Sir.
After the rapper used highly offensive language to question the mental capacities of their seven-year-olds, a source told Page Six that the couple are ‘discussing how they want to handle this situation, whether that be privately and/or in a legal matter.’
The insider also stressed that the superstar and Roc Nation founder ‘will absolutely not stand for’ how Kane ‘has spoken about their children.’
They are said to have found the language he used ‘vulgar and offensive’ and do not currently have ‘plans on publicly addressing Kanye’s X posts about their children.’
Although Kanye has removed the post, he clarified that he didn’t taken it down to be ‘a good person.’
‘I need everyone to know that I took the post about Jay Z and Beyoncé’s family down … because there was a possibility of my Twitter being cancelled [sic],’ he wrote on X.
While Kanye has continued to make a series of outlandish and controversial posts on X, he is not believed to have tweeted about the Carter family since.
The final Cowboy Carter concert in Paris comes shortly after it was revealed that Beyonce and Jay-Z’s eldest child Blue Ivy is interested in releasing songs of her own.
An insider told the Daily Mail this week that the teenager is saddling up to follow in her parents’ shoes and ‘is considering starting her own career in music.’
The source continued, ‘Some of Beyoncé’s favorite writers are quietly penning demos for her in anticipation of a solo album.’
With no shortage of industry bigwigs to lean on, the youngster has reportedly sought help from her famous aunt Solange Knowles and already has tracks lined up from The-Dream, should she want them.
The American songwriter and producer has long worked with Beyoncé, co-writing songs including Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) and Break My Soul from her Grammy-winning Renaissance album.
He also worked with Jay-Z on his 2013 track No Church in the Wild. ‘Blue is also writing material with help from Solange,’ our source continued.
‘The-Dream has been spearheading it, and he has two or three records for her,’ the insider continued. ‘They know the fans want to hear a Blue record.’
They added: ‘She is only allowed to listen to age-appropriate songs from artists and has been listening to Infinity Song, Michelle Williams’ Heart 2 Yours record and Goapele.’
Blue Ivy’s foray into solo stardom won’t be her first shot at singing.
The young teen, whose fan base is known as the Ivy League, had credits to her name long before reaching double digits in age.
Dubbed ‘the most famous baby in the world’ by TIME, just ten days after her birth in January 2012 her coos and cries featured on her dad’s track Glory.
The following year she landed a credit on her mom’s single Blue from her self-titled album.
