- Kanye West expressed that Jay-Z's demand to remove the reference to the 'red hat' on "Jail" "tore me to my soul," highlighting tension over the lyric and past grievances on X before deleting the posts.
- Beyoncé and Jay-Z continue to publicly display family unity amid the disputes, closing the European leg of the tour in Paris with a strong joint performance and plans to continue the tour in the US.
