OTR II

6b06031_27202-oi16et.r2u9The King and Queen are coming to Houston this weekend! Houston Native Beyoncé, and her husband,  Rap Legend Jay-Z will be performing on the Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th at NRG Stadium for their OTR II Tour. OTR II stands for On The Run 2, and this tour has traveled worldwide. As you probably already know the 2 is there because the couple went on tour together back in 2014, and it was titled On The Run. OTR ll is a tour that consists of the couple’s greatest hits separately and the ones they made together. Beyoncé’s last album, Lemonade came out in April of 2016, and it was her response to her husband’s infidelities in their marriage. Jay-Z’s last album, 4:44, came out in June of 2017, and fans can say that it was about him owning up to his mistakes, and apologizing to his wife and family. The couple released a joint album, Everything Is Love, on June 16, 2018.   They listed their name on the album as THE CARTERS to show that their marriage is stronger than ever. The album came as a surprise to everyone! A lot of people were expecting new music from Beyoncé because there have been rumors regarding a track list that she was finalizing, but the track list didn’t resemble any of the songs on Everything Is Love. Fans were also curious as to why the couple was going on tour together because they had both recently completed separate tours. Beyoncé traveled across the North America and Europe in 2016 for the Formation World Tour, and Jay-Z 4:44 tour went across North America in 2017. Beyoncé and Jay-Z are the definition of power couple! They are are always in the mentioned in media. They have a combined network $1.16 billion. They have three beautiful children, Blue, Sir, and Rumi Carter. They give back to several charities. Jay-z has a share in the Brooklyn Nets, and he is the executive producer of two documentaries, Time: The Kalief Browder Story, and Rest In Power: The Trayvon Martin Story. Both documentaries are about the death of young black males caused by police brutality and a corrupt justice system. (There have been rumors that  Beyoncé and Jay-Z have been threatened recently by George Zimmerman, the man who shot and killed Trayvon Martin.) Beyoncé is a force all by herself! The Queen is America’s sweetheart, and in April she made history by being the first black woman to headline Coachella. I will be attending OTR II on Saturday, and I am so excited. If you can’t already tell, I am a Beyoncé stan! Stan-” an overzealous or obsessive fan of a particular celebrity”. I am also a fan of Jay-Z, but my love for Beyoncé runs deep. I will forever be a member of the Beyhive! I have attended several of Beyoncé’s concerts and I have owned every album. I even have some Destiny’s Child albums. For those of you who don’t know Beyoncé was the lead singer in a girl group Destiny’s Child  before she started her solo career. I don’t thing I’ve ever been to a concert in the NRG Stadium, maybe along time ago when it was under the Reliant name. I’ve been to one in the arena, but I know OTR II will be an experience I’ll never forget. Any show put on by my Queen will be put on with perfection! Well there was a crazy fan that jumped on stage during the OTR II show in Atlanta, but I’m sure they’ve beefed up security since then!
