Jelly Roll,T-Pain and Lauryn Hill Turn Up the Heat at Star-Studded AMEX CARBONE BEACH For F1 Race Week in Miami!

American Express Presents CARBONE BEACH kicked off its sizzling three-night run on Friday, May 2, transforming Miami Beach into the ultimate “Supper Club on the Sand” during Miami Race Week.

Hosted annually by American Express and Major Food Group, the sold-out 2025 edition ran from May 2 to 4 and delivered next-level luxury, unforgettable cuisine, and a weekend full of surprise performances — including show-stopping sets by Jelly Roll, T-Pain, Lauryn Hill, and Wyclef Jean.

Throughout the high-octane celebration, Major Food Group co-founders Mario Carbone, Jeff Zalaznick, and Rich Torrisi played host to a roster of A-listers, including Tom Brady, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, Jamie Foxx, Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris, Shaun White and Nina Dobrev, and Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.

On Friday night, Jelly Roll brought down the house with a soulful, high-energy set featuring fan favorites like “Get By,” “Liar,” “Lonely Roll,” and “Save Me.” He surprised the crowd with a hip-hop medley that included “Lose Yourself” and “Ruff Ryders’ Anthem,” proving he could seamlessly blend country grit with rap swagger.

On Saturday, fresh off his Coachella Main Stage takeover, T-Pain delivered an intimate 26-song set packed with hits like “Buy U a Drank,” “Bartender,” and “I’m Sprung,” along with unexpected covers including “Low,” “Don’t Stop Believin’,” and the Fugees' “Ready or Not.”

To close out the glittering weekend, music icons Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean lit up the stage with a nostalgic performance. Lauryn kicked things off with “Everything Is Everything” and “Doo Wop (That Thing)” before Wyclef joined her for a Fugees-fueled finale, belting out “No Woman, No Cry,” “Killing Me Softly,” “Ready or Not,” and “Perfect Gentleman,” leaving the crowd on a high note.

Each night at CARBONE BEACH was a feast for the senses, starting with an over-the-top cocktail hour that wowed guests with a jaw-dropping 2,500-lb ice sculpture overflowing with raw bar favorites — think oysters, lobster, scallops, and shrimp — plus a luxe caviar bar and mouthwatering passed hors d'oeuvres.

Guests sipped on top-shelf cocktails crafted with Lobos 1707 Tequila, Ketel One, Tanqueray, and Mr Black while mingling under the stars. Once the curtains were drawn, partygoers were ushered into the stunning main dining room for a decadent four-course dinner curated by

Chef Mario Carbone himself, featuring signature showstoppers like Carpaccio Piemontese, Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, Lobster Ravioli, Colossal Prawns, Veal Parmesan, and a towering dessert spread that was as photogenic as it was delicious.

Jelly Roll's performance transformed Carbone Beach into a honky-tonk paradise, drawing couples like Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris, and Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark to dance and embrace under the starlit sky.

At a poignant moment, Jelly Roll gazed across the candlelit tables and remarked, "I never imagined being here at an Amex x Carbone Beach party. I thought I'd be somewhere very different. This feels like heaven... with chandeliers and rigatoni!"

The three nights of Amex x Carbone Beach saw a star-studded guest list including Tom Brady, Jamie Foxx, Olivia Jade, Bella Giannulli, Winnie Harlow, Kyle Kuzma, Sophia Bush, Ashlyn Harris, Kevin Love, Kate Love, Stassi Schroeder, Beau Clark, Bethenny Frankel, Brooks Nader, Andrew Schulz, Cait Bailey, Logan Paul & Nina Agdal, Shaun White & Nina Dobrev, Brooks Nader, Camille Kostek, Lindsey Vonn, Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson, and Ivanka Trump, all joining Major Food Group co-founders Mario Carbone, Jeff Zalaznick, and Rich Torrisi for an unforgettable F1 weekend in Miami.
