Jay-Z brought a parade of guests to the stage Sunday night at New York’s Yankee Stadium, where the veteran rapper closed a three-night stand marking the 30th anniversary of his debut album, “Reasonable Doubt,” and the 25th anniversary of his commercial breakthrough, “The Blueprint.”

Rihanna joined Jay-Z for “Run This Town,” then stuck around to do her “Bitch Better Have My Money,” according to reports in Variety and the New York Times. Jay-Z’s wife, Beyoncé, came out to do her “Drunk in Love.” And Pharrell Williams performed several songs, including “I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me),” which Williams produced as half of the Neptunes. Other guests at the show included Usher, Jeezy, Clipse, The-Dream, Jadakiss, Swizz Beatz, Jermaine Dupri, Teyana Taylor and Fat Joe.

Though it was expected to begin around 9 p.m., Sunday’s concert reportedly started after midnight due to what Jay-Z described as a crowd surge.

“It was like 10,000 people outside, and they closed all the doors and somebody rushed the doors,” the rapper said, according to Variety. “I’m really sorry for the inconvenience but I had to make sure everybody’s OK.”

Variety said the show ended at 3 a.m.

Sunday’s show followed two earlier Yankee Stadium gigs in which Jay-Z brought out Beyoncé and their daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, as well as Nas, Eminem, Memphis Bleek, Jaz-O and Slick Rick.

In September, Jay-Z is scheduled to perform stadium concerts in London and Paris ahead of an Oct. 23 date at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium.
