Jay-Z to tour Nigeria and South Africa
Jay-Z in partnership with MTV has been invited by the United Nations to raise water crisis awareness around the world. He will be doing an international tour covering various cities in Europe and Africa to spread the word. The dates and venues for African part of the tour are as follows;
October 04 - Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (Diamond Jubilee)
October 06 - Accra, Ghana (Accra Conference Center)
October 07 - Lagos, Nigeria (Ocean View)
October 09 - Luanda, Angola (Cine Karl Max)
October 11 - Cape Town, South Africa (Belleville Velodrome)
October 13 - Durban, South Africa (ABSA Stadium Outer Fields)
October 14 - Johannesburg, South Africa (Coca Cola Dome)
MTV will produce “Diary of Jay-Z: Water for Life” during the tour.
Worth Listening to the press release. I was not impressed with Jay-Z’s response to the press during the Q&A session. He seemed very unprepared and failed to answer most questions. Hard to believe it was his idea.

Of all places to perform - OCEAN fRIGGIN VIEW!
I don’t even remember/know where ocean view is.
Ocean view is located right between Eko Hotel and Kuramo beach.
keep changing this your website eh? well, the only advice i have for jay-z is, dont get robbed or enagage in any fights while in lagos! I think he’s over-hyped.
Jay Z will be fine, plus he runs a company - there is business twist to this trip.
yeh y wud he perform at ocean view.. its gon b crazy.. he might end up the show b4 its time…oh well i hope he has fun and has a gr8 time there
heard this on the radio last week. interesting stuff.
I’d lik to have notices bout shows in sa.
There’s no doubt talking too much, the greatest rapper of all times is coming over to Nigeria, thats a plus for the entire country. All u hatres can hate, but i know its gon be the best arrival ever in Nigeria. Watch out. His concert tickets have already been sold out in all his tour countries, thats to let u know he’s the boss. Wish I was goona be there to meet my man.
yo we should begratefull da man is comin ove,but dat is hard peeps honestly coz they just too damn erogant sumtymes. Butim gonna be there anyway!!!
Cape town boy out……
dats wats up .jigga nigeria welcomes u,better hold B closer cuz those naija gurl will do anythang necessary …………jay nigeria is so fun , i swear u goin 2 rap bout it
jigga in the muthernation.all good except for one theng..
my nation zimbabwe has been left out,wat up wit that fellaz,watcha all think though for realz?
its the boss, stepping on the bossses land were all man a boss and everyone runs things but trust, bosses do give respect to the bigger boss. boss welcome to the hustlers kingdom were everybody hustles to be a boss.
Interesting hustler. i like the way you put on the words. i’m from Mozambique
Im really buggin out right now!!! How can the friggin organisers place a whoopin 25gees on da damn show? The real jigga fans are cats from the hood not them butter fingers cats. Just wonderin if they would be able to spit a verse and rhyme along when the god MC is doin his thang. The essence of hiphop is the audience.
if u feelin me homies, comment on this!!!
Gabby, thank u very much for your comment.although i’m a prince and would be able 2 afford the 25 gees placed on this concert i think the money is just too outrageous. it would have being arround 10 gees so as to allow so many jigga fans out there to be there at the show.
the organisation is realy poor non of the adverts mentioned the venue or price word on the streets is that its 25thousand naira popular side and a hundred thousand v.i.p thats rediculous i think efcc should move in on those in thevip am not speaking with the mind of a poverty minded person but it is a total rip off am sure it ll be cheaper to travel to ghana to watch the show if it is a un sponsored event to promote portable water then it shouldnt be this expencive somebody is greedy.
the list of Naija artists too,non of them represents rap i love sunny ade but him mates no dey there
Nas is the greatest rapper of all time..

Charles, please be polite when making comments on this site. Your comment has now been edited.
Wow! Jay-z in Naija????? Even before his rival that claims to be from the very country???(NAS) that’s history. i pray God for more of them rappers to find their way back to where they from. witness the real ‘hard knock’ life as u journey round Naija man!
hey the greatest in da game,undisputed king of hip hop.well hes coming to nija is just the biggest thing eva to come to this continent.and plus hes coming in wit beyonce of all people,thats gonna be cerocious.i can go for 100gees peps.
one thing i like about my nigerian people is that we like to have fun, but the bad thing is that the greedy dudes behind this things just do anything to reep us off, someone is stepping in soon to put an end to all this teef teef, just keep ur ears out for A.F.A (African For Africans) they promise to be good.
Well come to our motherland bro Jigga.Its quite interesitn to know that you also love your motherland(africa)as an African-American.
Hi hustler who are the “African For Africans”?
It sounds so cool that Jay-Z is coming to Nigeria for a concert but at $200 - $800 for ticket I think we africans have been fooled. How does that raise awareness in a country/continent that is suffering from poverty and unemployment. Take a moment and think about this, compare the dollar to the naira or any other african nation… the business twist to this is so apparent. The U.S. hosts free concerts all the time to raise awareness for issues such as the one these artists will be performing for… I’m sorry I am not impressed at all.

Is there really mad love for African Americans in the motherland right now? Or is it just for HIP HoP celebs? What is the real deal? Are we all truly welcome to come back to our roots or are we looked at like trespassers? A lot of brotha’s from America have travelled home without being humble. This makes it hard for us all. There is a lot of money in African America that wants to make its way back…unfortunately there is hype that we are not welcome. Help a brotha out. Let me know what the word on the street is.
Hey y’all i just want to say is cool dat jay-z is coming to naija but seriously being an african and especially being a nigerian is the best thing that could evr hapn to any freakn bdy. proudly a naija babe.
