Sean Paul Clarifies Comments on Jay-Z Being Jealous During Beyoncé Collab: ‘Nothing Ever Happened’

Paul recently appeared on the Too Live Crew, Action & the Burgerman radio show, where he reportedly backed up the host’s theory that Jay wasn’t comfortable with their 2003 collaboration “Baby Boy” because he didn’t like them spending time together. But in a new interview with, HotNewHipHop Paul set the record straight.

“It was a radio show here in Jamaica and I get this regularly. When I go to Texas, also, radio shows there, I don’t know what it is, people are like, ‘So tell me…’ and it gets to that part in that interview where they’re like, ‘What happened with you and Beyoncé?’ Nothing really happened. The hit song was dope,” Paul explained.

Paul went on to explain what he actually meant by his comments. “You know, some of them made up their own mind. That’s the whatever. Sometimes with interviews, you can say, ‘I’d rather not speak about it,’ but then, people would think that something was going on,” he said. “So, I was trying to defend it like, ‘Hey nah, but weird things did happen, that’s probably why there were rumors,’ but people leave out ‘that’s probably why there were rumors’ part.”
