Concert Recap: Beyoncé In Nashville - Late But Right on Time

By Nefertiti Jenkins

The show was originally scheduled to take place in May, toward the beginning of her tour, but she postponed the show until October. Tickets said it started at 7:30 p.m., but DJ Khaled who opened for Beyoncé , didn't come out until well after 8:00 p.m. Of course he hyped up the crowd, with a number of old school and new school hits, but he was small on the stage, working his music, next to a giant cube called The Monolith. The Monolith rotates, projects videos, and has secret pathways. It teased the audience with quick dramatic images of Beyoncé before she appeared on the stage almost an hour after Khaled, in "Formation" with her army of female dancers. When she hit the stage, Beyoncé was right on time, and she and her dancers s...

Beginning with his early rise, the rapper says he's been making moves in the industry since 2002 when he was 12-years-old.
