Jay-Z's final concert of his three-day Yankee Stadium residency was marred by hours-long delays after hordes of fans broke through security, forcing the venue into lockdown. The concert was meant to start at 8 p.m., but the gates didn't reopen until around 10 p.m., and Jay-Z didn't take the stage until 12:15 a.m. Monday. A-listers including Charlamagne Tha God, A$AP Rocky, and Fabolous were unable to enter the stadium. Jay-Z apologized for the chaotic scenes when he took the stage, explaining that about 10,000 people were outside and someone rushed the door, forcing them to close all doors for safety. Fans booed loudly when an announcement was made that a decision on whether the concert would proceed was still pending. The gig ended with a spectacular fireworks display and featured a surprise appearance by Usher for a rendition of "Heart of the City (Ain't No Love)."
