A concertgoer who caught a pair of designer sunglasses tossed into the audience by the songstress is selling them for up to £15,000. Not too shabby for a pair of shades!
Twenty-year-old TikToker and aspiring filmmaker Global Valentino, whose real name is Valentino Rodrigues, attended the first stop on Beyoncé’s at Hotspur Stadium last month, where he was seated in Club Renaissance, a VIP lounge.
The Single Ladies superstar was filmed by Rodrigues as she performed Diva when she removed her shades.
She then tossed them in Valentino’s direction. It caused a minor scrum with other fans and security but he managed to hold onto the shades – at least, until he decided to auction them off.
Security had taken the sunglasses but soon the icon was seen with the shades in hand, and tossed them once again towards the TikTok-er.
‘That’s so sweet of her to remember to give them back to you,’ gushed one fan. “I WOULDA DIED AT THAT MOMENT,’ wrote another shocked viewer.
‘I fully lost control of my body in that moment,’ he replied in a TikTok comment.
‘I’m a committed filmmaker who has chosen to auction the glasses to invest in my family and career,’ he told the , admitting the decision to sell the shades off was a ‘difficult’ one.
Valentino posted the listing on Omega Auctions. ‘We are entirely satisfied that the person who consigned them with us is the very same person who caught the sunglasses in the (now viral) TikTok video,’ Dan Hampson, the Omega Auctions manager added to the Post.
‘When [Beyoncé] threw the glasses, I was just so starstruck,’ Valentino told . ‘I feel like this was a gift from god,” Valentino added. ‘On the side of the sunglasses, it has my birthday — April 23rd.’
And giving out designer gear to crowds of adoring fans isn’t the only thing Queen Bey does. Beyonce recently helped a couple do what is surely the most memorable in Cologne, Germany.
The Formation singer, 41, was handed a tiny envelope, which she carefully opened, 41, with a little smile, before lifting the card up and declaring it was a girl.
The crowd erupted into cheers as the megastar congratulated the soon-to-be parents.
She said: ‘Congratulations! Congratulations, beautiful! God bless you!’
