Jay-Z Joined By Kanye West, Chris Martin, Beyonce At New York Gig

September 14, 2010

Jay-Z was joined by Kanye West and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin as he headlined a homecoming gig in New York last night (September 13).

The rapper thrilled fans with a star-studded set at the Yankee Stadium, which he described as "historic".

Arriving on stage after a full support slot from Eminem, Jay-Z played for around 100 minutes.

His set included the hits '99 Problems', 'Empire State Of Mind' and 'Hard Knock Life'. But it was his collaborations with his special guests that attracted the biggest crowd response.

West appeared on stage to perform a medley of hits with the rapper, including his recent songs 'Power' and 'Monster', which also featured a guest spot from Nicki Minaj.

Coldplay's Martin then joined Jay-Z for 'Heart of the City (Ain't No Love)', before the pair performed the singer's own hit, 'Clocks'.

Jay-Z's wife Beyonce also joined her husband on stage, as did Eminem, who performed 'Renegade' with the rapper.

Jay-Z closed the set by telling the crowd: “This is historic: They ain't never gonna be another night like tonight.”

The gig followed Eminem and Jay-Z's two Home from Home gigs in Detroit earlier this month, which saw the Detroit rapper headline.

The pair will close their gig series with another performance at the Yankee Stadium tonight (September 14).
