The BeyHive don't play.

Jay-Z and Beyonce's marital struggles were put on display over the past few years with the release of Lemonade and 4:44. While the two have worked through their issues, the BeyHive is still on stand-by just in case anyone comes for Beyonce or Jay-Z. On the latest episode of The Real, Tamera Mowry shared a story about the time she crossed paths with Jay-Z before either of them were in relationships with their significant others. However, you know the BeyHive don't play when it comes to the iconic couple's marriage. They swiftly flocked to Tamera Mowry's comments to let her know that they're watching.

“I’ve actually met JAY-Z in person. And, he wasn’t with Beyonce at the time. And, I wasn’t dating anybody and when I met him. You do get like hit with the charm. I found myself strangely asking for gum. It’s so weird! I swear. My sister and I were at a premiere ‘Nutty Professor’ and he walked by. And I was like 'Oh my God that’s JAY-Z!' I was like 'Can I have some gum?' And he gave me some gum."

Mowry explained this is way before her husband Adam Housley was in the picture. Even after clarifying that Jay-Z wasn't with Beyonce at the time, and innocently asking the rapper for gum, the BeyHive came for her Instagram comments and flooded it with bee emojis.
