He will join Beyonce for select dates on the North American leg of the Formation World Tour, including stops in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, New York, and Detroit, Michigan, where she will wrap up the first leg of the trek on 14 June (16).
Meanwhile, Beyonce is preparing to unveil a secret new film project on Saturday night (23Apr16), after sending fans into a frenzy by teasing a promo for Lemonade on social media over the weekend (16Apr16).
The latest reports suggest Lemonade will be a documentary-style film, similar to her 2014 special, Life is But a Dream, which will air on America’s HBO network four days before the launch of her new tour.
