Jay-Z SoFi Stadium Finale Night 2: Dre, Snoop and More

Jay-Z ended JAŸ-Z30 on Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg at SoFi. Here's who came out, the exact Dre songs, and the Nipsey Hussle tributes.

Who Joined Jay-Z at the SoFi Stadium Finale?

• Too $hort: performed "Blow the Whistle." Jay-Z added a freestyle over the track.
• Snoop Dogg: performed "Murder Was the Case."

Dre's medley was "The Next Episode," "California Love," "Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang" and "Still D.R.E." Some outlets lump "Murder Was the Case" into the Dre run. We're following Complex, which lists it as Snoop's own song.

Was Blue Ivy at the Jay-Z SoFi Stadium Show?

Blue Ivy Carter was a guest on Night 1, Friday, October 23, along with John Legend, DJ Khaled, and Scarface. No Night 2 appearance by Blue Ivy has been reported.

How Did Jay-Z Get to the SoFi Finale?

The SoFi run is tied to the anniversary of his debut album, Reasonable Doubt. The second show was added after the first one was announced.

The tour had big guest nights before this. At Yankee Stadium in July, Blue Ivy played piano on "Feelin' It" on night one. Night two, for the 25th anniversary of The Blueprint, had Slick Rick, Eminem and Pharrell.

What Makes Dre and Snoop at SoFi a Full-Circle Moment?

SoFi Stadium also hosted the Super Bowl LVI halftime show on February 13, 2022. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg opened it with "The Next Episode." Jay-Z's Roc Nation co-produced that show.

Now the same two stars were back in the same stadium, this time on his stage. That's why this finale felt bigger than a normal guest spot.
