An event that this surprise show! This Friday, April 14, 2023, as soon as it was put online, 1,500 seats in the Louis Vuitton Foundation auditorium were immediately sold out! A unique singing tour by rapper Jay-Z in tribute to the artists Basquiat and Andy Warhol currently exhibited in this magical place belonging to the LVMH foundation. Jean-Michel Basquiat, who died of an overdose at the age of 27 on August 12, 1988, is a painter who still influences many artists such as Jay-Z, Kanye West or ASAP Rocky. A pop icon supported by Andy Warhol who, herself, loved music since his discotheque contained no less than 3,000 vinyls! And besides a cameo in the clip of Rapture of the group Blondie, the artist even produced for his friend the New York rapper Rammellzee the title Beat Bop, in 1983, of which he also designed the cover.

On a video posted by Beyoncé, the minister is having a blast!
And, ironically, on the evening of his death, Basquiat was to attend the concerts of the rap groups Run-DMC and Public Enemy. Absolute fans of this artist who died too soon, Beyonce and Jay-Z, who had already shot a clip at the Louvre, therefore wanted to pay tribute to him with this private show-case this Friday, April 14. He, on stage, she in the baskets of the auditorium with her mother Tina Knowles and little Blue Ivy, 10 years old. But also close to the couple Rihanna and ASAP Rocky! An event that Rima Abdul-Malak, the Minister of Culture, would not have missed for anything in the world. And we can see her, at 44, on a video posted on Twitter by the American diva herself, having fun like a teenager…
