People often forget how legendary rapper Bun B. is. In addition to working with Pimp C and releasing some of the most influential rap songs in the South, his solo adventures proved just as fruitful. He has worked with big stars like Beyonce with whom he collaborated on “Check On It” alongside Slim Thug.

As Hip-Hop-N-More pointed out, Bun B disclosed his experience filming the song’s music video in the latest episode of Nostalgia Mixtape. The rapper revealed that this was in the early stages of Beyonce and Jay’s relationship and it seemed that Jay still had some insecurities with other men who were in the room.

“We are on the set of the video and there are obviously a lot of single men in the room,” Bun explained, revealing that Beyonce was dancing in a short skirt and then a bikini. However, she added that the men in the room were amazed because she witnessed B at this massive level of stardom. Jay-Z asks for his help, if I had to guess that it would have been his cousin Angie that he would have spoken to because Angie has always been a right hand for Beyonce. He is like, ‘Yeah, how’s the video going, what’s up? Well, are the boys there? All the boys who are with us are the only men there. Well, let me say this. There were other men there, but they weren’t straight. “

This is when Jay started protecting himself from B. After discovering that there are almost a dozen men in the room, Jay made the executive call to escort them all. “Then he says, ‘Wait a minute, how many guys are there?’ So she says, ‘Well, there are about 9 or 10 guys that are there.’ And he says, ‘Where are they now?’ She says, ‘Well, they’re on the sound stage, you know, they’re watching his movie.’ What’s he wearing? She describes the outfits and he says, ‘Me, clean the room.’ “

And just like that, Jay-Z had all the guys in the room clear. “So they immediately approached us and threw us all into our dressing rooms and told us to stay there until we have to shoot. We are no longer allowed to see Beyonce dance,” Bun said.

Despite this, Beyonce still reached out to Bun B and Slim Thug to apologize for Jay-Z’s order that they leave. “So I guess Beyonce hears about the call, she comes up and apologizes. ‘I’m sorry you had to leave the room, but Jay is not comfortable,” he added.
