Jay Z has dished out an awkward dig to fellow music star Kanye West during a surprise appearance at Beyoncé’s latest performance in Paris, which marks Beyoncé’s third Cowboy Carter Tour show in the city.
As Beyoncé performed one of her greatest hits, Crazy in Love, she stepped aside to welcome her husband, Jay Z, who sang his part of the song. The shock appearance marked the couple's first time performing together in seven years and fans went wild.
Beyoncé and Jay Z then performed a musical mash-up of 2013's Drunk in Love, Partition and N***** in Paris - a song which Jay Z and Kanye West originally sang together.

However, fans were quick to spot that Jay Z had changed the lyrics to the song to cut out ‘Ye’, and referred to his wife ‘Bey’ instead amid his old friend's vile public outbursts.
During the live rendition of the song, Jay Z switched up the lyrics, rapping: “Gold bottles, scold models, Spillin' Ace on my sick J's. (Ball so hard) B***h, behave. Just might let you meet Bey”.
The change of name didn’t go unnoticed by fans who quickly shared their thoughts on X, formerly known as Twitter. One person wrote: “JAYZ changing the lyrics to “I just might let u meet bey””, while another added: “After the way Kanye talked about his kids .jay is done with ye for good'”.

Another fan pointed out: “You see he’s over Kanye & his mess he changed the lyrics”. It follows claims Beyoncé and Jay-Z were considering taking legal action against the rapper after he shared controversial tweets about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s youngest children, Rumi and Sir.
Kanye used highly offensive language to question the mental capacities of their children, and a source claimed that Jay-Z and Beyoncé were discussing ‘how to handle the situation’ as Jay-Z will ‘not stand’ for the comments.
A source told Page Six: “[They are] discussing how they want to handle this situation, whether that be privately and/or in a legal matter.” They stressed that Jay-Z ‘will absolutely not stand for' how Kane ‘has spoken about their children’, and that the couple found the comments 'vulgar and offensive'
The final Cowboy Carter concert in Paris comes after the news Blue Ivy wants to follow in her superstar mum's footsteps and start releasing her own music.
An insider told the Daily Mailthat the teenager ‘is considering starting her own career in music’ and that some of ‘Beyoncé's favourite writers’ are already working on some demos for her.
