The Brooklyn rapper and mogul’s induction, the second to last of the evening, lasted about 30 minutes, ten of which was Jay-Z’s acceptance speech, during which he recounted his rise in the music business.
Following the Obama speech was a welcome video which opened with Beyoncé and closed out a giggling Blue Ivy Carter, and featured an array of artists who recited Jay-Z lyrics spanning his 30-year career.

Rapper Nasty C has no desire to stand up and be counted among hip-hop acts who have joined the genre that has South Africa spinning. On his Instagram live the rapper said no one should embarrass themselves by calling him for a collaboration on an amapiano song.
Nasty C added that amapiano is more like a kwaito genre and he would never do kwaito. Kwaito is a music genre that emerged in Soweto, Johannesburg, South Africa, during the 1990s.

5. Nuno Espirito Santo sacked by Tottenham with Conte set to be appointed manager
BREAKING: Antonio Conte has been offered an 18-month contract by Tottenham, according to Sky in Italy.
— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) November 1, 2021
Nuno Espirito Santo has been sacked by Tottenham after only four months in charge, with Antonio Conte set to be drafted in as his replacement. Nuno was appointed permanent successor to Jose Mourinho in June, with Spurs handing him an initial two-year contract.
That agreement has been terminated early in the wake of the 3-0 home defeat to Manchester United, which leaves the north London outfit 10 points adrift of Premier League leaders Chelsea after 10 games. Conte will succeed Nuno after holding positive talks with the north London club, and flew into England on Monday for further discussions with an official announcement expected ahead of their next Premier League fixture against Everton.
