Though Jay-Z ‘s list of guests joining him on stage at his SoFi Stadium kickoff wasn’t as crazy-huge as the one for his Yankee Stadium run , surprise appearances still helped make the show shine in his much-anticipated tour return to Los Angeles on Friday (Oct. 23).

His two-night engagement at SoFi is part of JAY-Z30, the celebration of it being 30 years since the release of his classic debut album Reasonable Doubt .

Jay’s daughter Blue Ivy was in the house, plus Scarface, DJ Khaled and John Legend.

Blue Ivy was on the keys for “The Story of O.J.” (from 4:44 ) and “Dead Presidents” ( Reasonable Doubt ) on the 33-song setlist.
