Jay-Z’s final concert as part of his three-day Yankee Stadium residency was marred by hours-long delays – after hordes of fans broke through security, forcing the Bronx venue into lockdown, reports say.

Thousands of fans were seen waiting outside the home of the New York Yankees Sunday night  – as the stadium was shut for more than two hours while law enforcement addressed the security scare, WABC reported.

The concert was meant to start at 8 p.m. but the gates didn’t reopen until around 10 p.m., and the “99 Problems” star didn’t take to the stage until 12.15 a.m. Monday.

Charlamagne The God, A$AP Rocky, and Fabolous were among the A-listers unable to enter the stadium, Variety reported.

“We got here a little after 8, went to Gate 2, they bum rushed Gate 2. Bum rushed. People went past security, were not checked and got into the stadium. They closed down Gate 2, we went to Gate 4, same thing happened,” Rosalynn Glover, who flew in from Atlanta for the gig, told WABC.

“We were at the suite section, they would not even let us in there.”

A group of unruly fans barged through the turnstiles and into the stadium, footage shared on TikTok shows.

Staffers in light blue polo shirts tried to stop the influx of fans from getting into the 46,543-seater stadium – but were unsuccessful. 

Jay-Z, 56, apologized for the chaotic scenes when he took to the stage, the Hollywood Reporter reported.

“Let me explain the delay to you guys,” he said.

“It was like 10,000 people outside, and we closed all the doors, and somebody rushed the door. They closed the door for you guys’ safety and everyone’s safety outside.

“There’s 10,000 people outside; I don’t want to start the music and people get trampled. I’m really sorry for the inconvenience, but I had to make sure everyone was OK. I appreciate your patience.”

There was doubt over whether the concert would go ahead.

Fans booed loudly when an announcement informing them a decision over whether the concert would still go ahead was still being made, according to video filmed by WOIO reporter Ashly Holder.

Usher was a surprise guest on night three for a rendition of “Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love).”

The gig ended with a spectacular fireworks display that formed the Basquiat crown – Jean-Michel Basquiat’s famous motif, which has become a black pop culture symbol. Jay-Z paid $4.5 million for Basquiat’s 1982 painting Mecca in 2013.

Jay-Z headlined the stadium for three nights and his concerts mark the 30th anniversary of his album “Reasonable Doubt” and 25 years since he released “The Blueprint.”

On Friday, the “Empire State of Mind” star brought out his wife, Beyoncé, and their eldest child, Blue Ivy, for surprise performances.

During his performance of “Can’t Knock The Hustle,” Beyoncé took the stage to sing Mary J. Blige’s part of the song.

The longtime couple — who tied the knot in 2008 — shared a kiss before Beyoncé exited the stage.

Blue, 14, played the piano for his 1996 song “Feelin’ It.” 

Jay-Z is set to play at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on Sept. 4 and the Stade de France in Paris, France, on Sept. 10.

He will headline Sofi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on Oct. 23. 

Amid reports that Sacha Baron Cohen is secretly filming a new Ali G movie, the star showed up dressed as that iconic character to Wimbledon. 

Spies saw the star — seated in section 215 — in the outrageous character’s full mode, in the stands in a white track jacket that says, “Official Wimbledon Ganja Dealer” on the back. 

He also was sporting a thick gold rope chain and other typical Ali G accoutrements. 

The character — hailing from Staines-upon-Thames — first appeared on the UK’s “The 11 O’Clock Show” as the infamous “voice of da yoof.”

And like his “Borat” character, guests on Ali G’s show were usually duped by the star into thinking he was real. Ali G later got his own show and movie. 

A rep for the star didn’t comment. 

Cohen, 54, was also seen channeling the character from the stands in an Instagram upload on Sunday.

“I iz BACK! And if u iz at dis borin wimbledore final lookin 2 get grand slammed, I iz here wif de hookup 🌱🍄❄️💊💉 dm me, especially if u iz fit,” he captioned the clip.

The iconic actor isn’t the only celebrity to have made an appearance at this year’s star-studded athletic tournament.

Kate Middleton, has made numerous appearances at Wimbledon this month. Most recently, the Princess of Wales attended the men’s singles final in London on Sunday, accompanied by Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

The royal family members received a standing ovation from A-listers including Nicole Kidman, Andrew Garfield, Jennifer Lopez, Tom Hiddleston and Anna Wintour, while making their way to the royal box.

Other celebs to appear at Wimbledon this year include Lily Collins, Cynthia Erivo, Stanley Tucci, Keira Knightley, Dustin Hoffman and Tom Hiddleston, among many others.

This isn’t Cohen’s first appearance at this year’s Wimbledon. He was previously spotted wearing what appeared to be a white linen suit with a green button-down shirt for day 13 of the iconic tennis tournament on Saturday.

Aaron Lewis is opening up about why he thinks industry executives have cast him aside.

During a recent interview on the “Pickin’ It Out with Andrew Pope” podcast, the 54-year-old musician spoke about his upcoming record and why he believes the music industry has turned its back on him.

“Everything’s too political now,” he explained. “I’ve played the [Grand Ole] Opry a whole bunch of times, and I don’t get invited to the Opry anymore. All because I believe in this beautiful, amazing country that we’re so blessed to have.”

The musician first found fame as the lead vocalist and founding member of the band Staind. He stayed with the band until the early 2000s, before embarking on a successful solo career in 2010.

During the interview, he reflected on the idea that in two years it would be 30 years since he formed Staind, calling it “such a blessing to still be able to do this after doing it for almost 30 years.”

“We’re now eligible for the Hall of Fame,” he said, before adding, “It’ll never happen.”

His upcoming sixth studio album, “Give My Country Back,” is set to drop July 17. Lewis and Pope said they hope listeners will be able to find the album to listen to it.

“You got to look for it. Any of my stuff,” Lewis explained. “The machine that is has no problem turning its back on me.”

Lewis isn’t the only musician to deal with backlash due to politics. 

Vanilla Ice recently received backlash when he was announced as one of the performers at the Great American State Fair, celebrating the 250th anniversary of America.

After the lineup was announced May 29, several performers, including Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, Young MC, the Commodores, Morris Day and others announced they were dropping out.

When it comes to the backlash he received for agreeing to perform at President Trump-backed Freedom 250 events, the rapper said he is “just an entertainer” and that it isn’t fair for him or any other entertainer “to be dragged into politics and stuff.”

“I think people are taking everything too serious, and you should enjoy this concert, this celebration of our country, and we should all come together. That’s what music’s for anyway, to bring people together,” he said. “Music brings people together, and that’s what it’s all about.”

While he chose not to drop out, he didn’t blame the other artists for choosing not to perform at the concert, saying “they have their own reasons, and they live in different places and it’s different,” but that he was “honored” to be able to celebrate his country.
