Jay-Z is Inducted Into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland

Jay-Z has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!

The 51-year-old rapper was honored during the 2021 induction ceremony on Saturday night (October 30) at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio.

Before taking to the stage to accept the honor, Dave Chappelle paid tribute to his longtime friend.

“It is an incredible honor to induct this next man into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,” Dave said on stage. “But I need everybody in rock ‘n’ roll to know, that even though you are honoring him, he is ours. He is hip-hop. For ever and ever, and a day.”

Also making appearances at the induction ceremony included Paul McCartney who honored the Foo Fighters, Drew Barrymore who honored The Go-Gos, and Jennifer Hudson who helped honor Carole King.

Brandi Carlile also made an appearance during the event, performing “All I Have to Do Is Dream” during the In Memoriam section to honor Everly Brothers entertainer Don Everly, who died in August.
