Many users compared the picture to Kanye and Kim's shots in the Bound 2 music video. Released in 2013, the video shows Kanye and Kim also cosying up on a motorcycle.


"Kanye and Kim," one commenter wrote on the picture. While another Instagram user replied, "Kanye asked for his idea back. Kanye and Kim did a music video like this already."

In response to the tour's promotional video, which also shows Jay Z and Beyonce on the motorcycle together, one Twitter user asked the latter's followers, "Why does it look like Jay Z & Beyoncé are about to drop a country version of Bound 2?"



Since announcing On the Run II, Jay and Bey have been spotted in Jamaica, filming for the tour.
