At the start of 2023, Beyoncé had the merit of satisfying her admirers at all levels. And for good reason, the interpreter of “Crazy in Love” launched its new tour called “Renaissance Word Tour”. Thus, Jay-Z’s wife recorded two dates in France: May 26 in Paris and June 11 in Marseille. For her first singing tour, Queen B bet on the Stade de France.
As a reminder that same day, Aya Nakamura will ignite the stage of the Accor Arena in addition to May 27 and 28! Unsurprisingly, the tickets for Beyoncé’s two French dates sold out in just a few minutes. In the process, fans of the icon immediately demanded a second show in Paris. But for the Parisian, Angelo Gopee, the general manager France from Live Nation and producer of Beyoncé assured that another performance had been planned… But the latter had been canceled due to “works” orchestrated by “SNCF”.
On the Web, Internet users then accused Valérie Pécresse, the president of the Ile-de-France region of having “sabotaged” the second Parisian date of the American star. Taken aback by the controversy, the politician shared a video on Instagram to respond to her critics this Wednesday, February 8: “So, it seems it’s my fault. I’m going to rectify things and say it clearly: I had absolutely nothing to do with it! I have a broad back, but you mustn’t kid!”
“It’s not my back”
The opportunity for the wife of Jérôme Pécresse to come back to the causes of this cancellation: “The dates of the transport works that lead to the Stade de France are known two years in advance. And all event professionals know it […]”. And to add: “I say it, I love Beyoncé. I say welcome to Île-de-France, but next time, we will have to hire a producer who will check that the stadium is available on the right date”. Aya Nakamura, who obviously heard about the case, ended up breaking her silence the day after her press release.
Via her Instagram story, Vladimir Boudnikoff’s ex-girlfriend relayed Valérie Pécresse’s response video, adding in the caption: “She said Beyoncé. It’s not my back.” The message got through!
