Beyonce, Jay-Z honored with key to Columbia City, and a day named after them!

Just earlier this month, Minnesota did the same, by proclaiming August 8 as the official 'Beyonce and Jay-Z Day' in the city, as announced by their Governor Mark Dayton.

Beyonce and Jay-Z's stardom has a new notch in its belt as the couple was recently honored with a key to the city of Columbia, South Caroline, right after their joint On the Run II Tour stop at Williams-Brice Stadium. As per WIS' reports, the Mayor of the City of Columbia, Steve Benjamin, presented the rapper with the key to the city; and along with that, he also named August 21 as the Beyonce Knowles-Carter and Shawn Carter day in the city. Just another accolade for the royal couple of music!

“What an incredible show at #OTRII in @ColumbiaSC !” Benjamin tweeted August 22. “It was wonderful to have a chance to recognize the humanitarian & cultural contributions of Mr. & Mrs. Carter. August 21st was officially ‘Beyonce Knowles Carter & Shawn Carter Day’ in @ColumbiaSC.”
