Jay-Z went on stage at the packed Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts on Wednesday (June 12) during Tom Brady‘s Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony and surprised the audience by performing his superhit, “Public Service Announcement.”
Emerging from the smoke filling the stage, he delivered the song’s opening line, “Allow me to reintroduce myself,” catching fans by surprise.
“Foxborough, make some noise!” Jay said during a pause in the action, with Young Guru manning the boards behind him. “Put one hand in the air for the GOAT, Mr. Tom Brady, tonight!”
Jay-Z and Brady have been friendly when crossing paths over the years. Jay serves as the NFL’s music entertainment strategist, with Roc Nation helming the Super Bowl halftime show each year.
Brady told Mass.Live that he was a “big fan” of Hov in 2014, and “Public Service Announcement” was the song that he chose as his theme whenever he stepped on the field. In particular, the lyrics: “Allow me to reintroduce myself.”
