Hart begins the story by saying that he and the superstar couple were at a nightclub in Houston for All-Star Weekend, which would’ve been 2013 based on the last time the All-Star game was played in that city.

Hart explains that he and the Carters were sitting in different VIP sections inside the club, and once seeing Jay he decided to go over to say hello.

“After a long conversation, he goes ‘Kev, what you drinking?’ ” Hart said of Jay-Z. “I go to look down and I say, ‘Oh, let me get some of this, but I’m going to mix it with the pineapple juice.’ I go reach my hand for the pineapple juice, the pineapple juice spills. We just watching it. It’s all falling out.”

Hart then said he apologized to Jay for spilling the juice. Then both of them realized there was a victim of the spill, none other than Beyoncé.

“He comes back up to me and goes, ‘Kev, you just spilled pineapple juice all over my wife’s legs and shoes,'” Hart remembered Jay saying. “I look behind him, I see B sitting down … She got like a f—–g pound of napkins wiping everything … So I just look at Hov and say, ‘I need to make this right because I feel bad.'”

Hart explained in order to make amends, he reached in his pocket, pulled out some money and slipped it into the hand of Jay-Z, who told him it wasn’t necessary.

But Hart insisted that Jay take the money and told him, “Don’t open your hand until I leave because I don’t want to feel bad.”

“I leave, walk out, get to my other side, I look over at Hov to see if he’s looked in his hand,” Hart explained. “I can tell he did because he’s shaking his head, and he’s looking for me. It’s a look of disgust on his face. I gave him $20.

“That’s all I had on me at the time,” he added. “I was hoping that $20 would cover whatever the price of that pineapple juice was. It wasn’t about B’s outfit or her shoes. I couldn’t afford to cover that cost. I just paid for the pineapple juice, and I got the f–k out of there.”

In the comments, a lot of people let Hart know how much they enjoyed his story, as well as his humorous nature.

“My word Kev you one funny brotha! Im smiling,” one person wrote.

“Maaaannn ik jay was looking for yo ass 😂😂😂💀,” another fan commented.

While a third person wrote, “We need more 🤣🤣🤣😭😭.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
