Three decades. Countless classics. One icon.
JAŸ-Z is celebrating 30 years of an unparalleled career with a special show in London on Friday 4 September at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. From the music that changed the game to the moments that shaped culture, this is a celebration of the legacy.
Be there. London. History.

We've normalised lawlessness to the point where enforcing the law is seen as offensive. Call someone out for breaking the law, and suddenly you're the problem.
Many of SA Politicians have lost the ability to read the room.
Blinded by privilege and insulated in their comfort zones, they treat any criticism as a personal attack rather than valuable feedback.
A reflection:
Thank God they decided to close down the PKTT and unwittingly set off a firestorm of fury from General Mkhwanazi.
In scripture we say, “He prepareth the table in the presence of my enemies”.
Sometimes God lets your enemies have their way so He can use you for His righteous will.
The nation is all the better for it.
Happy July 6th.
A year later, I remain in awe of the courage, conviction, and intentionality demonstrated by General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi and his colleagues.
This flag 🇿🇦 must be protected!
It can take a lot to get me to come outside these days… but Jesse Collins may be one of the few who can.
I had a wonderful experience working with him and his team on the Grammy tribute to our legends, Roberta Flack and D’Angelo. When he asked me to do this, I had to say yes.
Before I say anything else, forgive me for being late with this post. I’m in Morocco today after a performance in the Canary Islands last night and have been fully occupied, but I could not let more time pass without expressing my gratitude.
To Jesse Collins, BET, and the entire team, thank you for creating a space for artistry, legacy, love, and celebration.
And now…

I am deeply honored.
THANK YOU.
Each of you is remarkable. You represent far more than yourselves. You carry the hopes of families, the strength of communities, and the stories of generations. Your gifts are rooted in legacy, and your presence was deeply felt.
Thank you for acknowledging me.
Thank you for celebrating me.
The love I felt in that room is something I will carry with me for a very long time.
My desire is that each of you experiences that same love returned to you abundantly by all the people, families, and communities that you pour into, and that you feel as celebrated, as appreciated, and as cherished as you made me feel.
To God be the glory. Always.
It is not only necessary, but a matter of national security that Zuma loses all presidential privileges guaranteed by the Constitution!
Zuma has never respected the constitution Nelson Mandela signed in Sharpeville, 1996. He has been a constitutional delinquent his entire life as a government leader. He should never enjoy any privilege that is based on the assumption that he has faithfulness to our supreme law. He broke, undermined and ridiculed his oath long ago. In defence of national security; he must lose all privileges!
