1 hour ago 6

Still crazy in love.

During his London concert at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Friday, Jay-Z (born Shawn Corey Carter) took a moment to honor his wife, Beyoncé, getting the crowd to join him in a serenade for her 45th birthday.

The performance marked the first of two London dates on Jay-Z’s limited “Jay-Z 30” run, which celebrates 30 years of his debut album, “Reasonable Doubt,” and 25 years of 2001’s “The Blueprint.”

The “99 Problems” rapper, 56, is set to take the stage again Saturday night for his second and final London show.

In a video posted to Instagram by People, Jay-Z could be seen leading the crowd in a rendition of “Happy Birthday” as fireworks went off around the stadium.

Beyoncé appeared on the Jumbotron in a black hoodie, smiling as she blew kisses and waved to the crowd while they sang to her.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé, who tied the knot in April 2008, share three children: daughter Blue Ivy, 14, who was born in 2012, and 9-year-old twins Rumi and Sir, who were born in 2017.

During the first night of his three-show “Jay-Z 30” residency at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York, in July, the “Empire State of Mind” hitmaker brought out his wife and Blue Ivy for surprise performances.

Beyoncé joined Jay-Z onstage during his performance of the 1996 hit “Can’t Knock the Hustle,” taking on Mary J. Blige’s part of the song.

Blue Ivy, meanwhile, joined her dad onstage to play piano during another 1996 smash, “Feelin’ It.”

“Make some noise for the legendary Blue Ivy Carter,” Jay-Z said as he introduced his daughter, prompting cheers and applause from the audience.

Beyoncé made headlines Friday after releasing a limited-edition “Bey Keeper Collector’s Box” priced at $948.01, with only 500 available for purchase.

The price was a nod to her birthday, Sept. 4, 1981, while the release also coincided with the 20th anniversary of her second solo album, “B’Day.”

The “Love on Top” singer, who reached billionaire status last year, faced backlash on social media over the hefty price tag.
