The show began at 12:16 A.M., after fans in the stadium had been alerted at 9:50 P.M. that all entries had been paused due to safety concerns. At 11:40, the audience was updated that entry was still ongoing due to the delays. Jay-Z made a brief statement about the situation shortly after he arrived on stage.
“I didn’t want to start the music while there was a risk of people getting trampled,” he said. “So, I apologize for the inconvenience, but I needed to make sure everyone was okay. I appreciate your patience. Tonight we’re gonna have fun.”
