During his ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail Tour’ stop in Los Angeles, California last night, Jay Z took some time to pay tribute to the late Nelson Mandela, just as a number of entertainers have done recently.

“We want to dedicate this song to Nelson Mandela. A great man that spent 27 years in prison, came out to be President. All dreams are possible! So anybody out there that got a dream, y’all chase that motherf-cker down as hard as you can. Let that great man stand as an example of what you can do.”

Jay then went on to perform his Mr. Hudson-assisted “Forever Young” track, dedicated to Nelson Mandela. To check it out now, see above. Rest in power.
