Jay Z allowed a 12-year-old fan to perform his “Clique” verse during a concert Sunday (January 5). 

According to TMZ, Jay Z found the young fan with a “Can I rap for you?” sign in the crowd of his “Magna Carter World Tour” during the Greensboro, North Carolina stop. 

The fan raps along to “Clique” without a backing track or beat. At one point, Jay Z stops the young man.

“Not the drug dealing part,” Jay Z says. “Go back to the numbers.”

The “drug dealing part” refers to the following line from the selection.

“G.O.O.D. Music drug-dealing cousin,” Jay Z raps on the track. “Ain’t nothing fuckin’ with we.” 

The young fan continues rapping the verse and avoids using curse words, replacing expletives during the performance. 

Jay Z embraces the fan after the performance and agrees to meet him backstage.

“After all of that, he said, ‘Can I meet you backstage?’ Yes,” Jay Z says. “I’ve got something for you too.”
