Jaÿ-Z Sets Rap Box Office Record at Yankee Stadium

Jaÿ-Z earned $42,290,766 from three concerts at Yankee Stadium this summer, setting the record for the highest box office gross achieved by a rapper. The revenues for the July concert series were generated from 136,934 tickets sold across the three nights. Each performance averaged a gross of $14.1 million, with an average of 45,645 tickets sold per night.

With these earnings, Jaÿ-Z became the second solo rapper after Ye to gross more than $10 million from a single concert. The Yankee Stadium dates were organized to celebrate the artist's 30-year career. The initial show on July 10 was dedicated to the 30th anniversary of his debut album Reasonable Doubt.

The Yankee Stadium shows served as the beginning of the JAŸ-Z30 tour. The tour continued with dates in London on September 4 and 5, as well as a show in Paris on September 23. It will conclude with concerts in Los Angeles on October 23 and 24.
