Beyonce Headlines the Chime for Change concert Sponsored by Gucci

The fight for women’s rights gathered thousands at the Twickenham Stadium London on Saturday night.

A-List celebs Madonna, J-Lo, Timbaland and many others joined to support Beyonce and her “Chime for Change” campaign, which advocates equal rights for women and girls worldwide.

The highlight of the night was Bey and Jay-z’s Crazy in Love duet. The crowd went wild when Jigga kissed his wife, symbolizing that a strong woman can empower others, (even her man) to take a stand.

Another memorable set was Mary J Blige and Jennifer Lopez performing a rendition of the Beatles Come Together.

Other attendees and performers included Florence and the Machine, Jada Pinkett Smith, Pippa Middleton, Sarah Ferguson and daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Blake Lively and Jessica Chastain whom all donations will benefit female victims of human trafficking, sexual harassment, rape and sexual slavery and other disgraces in over 200 countries.

Founded by Beyonce and backed by Gucci, Chime for Change also brought out the likes of Frida Giannini (Gucci Creative Director) and Salma Hayek Pinault, whose husband Henri Francois practically controls the Gucci brand and many others.

By the end of the night, fans were singing along as queen Bey belted out ” Girls! We run this mutha!” and $4.3 million raised for the cause, with ticket sales going to the purchasers charity of choice.

LOUIS VUITTON AND GUCCI REJECT T.I. SINGLE

Although the Swizz Beatz produced Swing Ya Rag was set to be a video off T.I.’s latest album, Paper Trail, Louis Vuitton and Gucci, two labels mentioned on the track don’t want the attention.

T.I. told MTV recently that he has a video set and ready to go, but it’s going to dwell in the vaults.

“We did it, and it came out hot,” Tip said of the video. “Louis [Vuitton] and Gucci started trippin’ about it. They were saying we were infringing, in one way or another. They weren’t happy about it. They didn’t want it to come out. But it’s hot, though.”

T.I. hopes to unite once again with Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and Kanye for a video for the single Swagger Like Us.

“I hope we can pull that off,” he told MTV, which would feature Jay-Z, Kanye West and Lil Wayne. “That was the definite intentions initially. We have to see when everybody is all available. I’m available whenever they are.”
