Reggae artist Sean Paul has confirmed longtime rumors that Jay-Z didn't want him getting too close to Beyonce — and that is why she has only performed the song with him once. During an interview with DanceHallMag.com, he said in patois, “Yuh si weh you seh? You neva feel comfortable. Me neva feel comfortable needa, but mi jus use my diplomacy all di while an guh roun any likkle obstacle weh me have inna life.”
When asked if the rumors were true, Sean Paul said, “Yes, to me that was something that was apparent at the time.”
He added, “Wi know that artistry is artistry suh a nuh everytime dem ting deh gwan.”
