During his Magna Carta Tour, Jay Z has dedicated “Forever Young” to the memory and legacy of Nelson Mandela.
Jay Z most recently made this dedication during his Los Angeles, California tour stop yesterday (December 9). Mandela’s image was displayed as Jay Z ran through “Forever Young,” a selection pulled from Jay Z’s Blueprint 3 album, which was released in 2009.
Mandela, a South African activist and an iconic leader of the anti-apartheid movement, passed away Thursday (December 5). He was 95.
Jay also paid tribute to Mandela during his San Diego, California tour stop.
