Jay Z invited a fan to twerk for him during his massive gig at London's O2 Arena last night (Thursday 10 October).

Hov was playing the first of a four night residency at the O2, when the clothing of one fan in partcular caught his eye.

"I was in the front row of stage left, and when Jay Z went around the crowd with the lights on saying hello to people," said 27-year-old Libby Andrews from Florida, speaking to Gigwise. "He noticed my Alexander McQueen top and sai 'I like your top, is that Alexander McQueen?'"

She continued: "Then he told the camera guys to put the camera on the blonde girl (me) and told me to 'twerk, girl, twerk'. So I did, and it was up on the giant screen. It was really funny."

Receiving a rapturous response from the sold-out crowd, Libby described her performance as 'more of a Beyonce twerk than a Miley twerk'.

The venue then took to Twitter to congratulate Libby on her twerking:

Backed by a an impressive light and stage show, Hov took his band through a career-spanning set that included material from his Kanye West collaboration album Watch The Throne, as well as 'Pound Cake' - a track he recorded with Drake for 'Nothing Was The Same.
