Hip-hop billionaire Jay-Z has sparked fierce social media ridicule after launching an unexpected onstage defence, warning tens of thousands of concertgoers about the dangers of artificial intelligence, propaganda, and what he termed 'digital tricknology'.
Addressing an impassioned crowd at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on Saturday, 24 October 2026, the 56-year-old rap icon delivered the impassioned speech towards the conclusion of the second of two Los Angeles performances marking the culmination of his JAŸ-Z30 anniversary tour.
