A photographer might have messed up the delivery, but few people can say they've made the star couple crack up, so props to them.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z recently went out for dinner, and a paparazzi actually made them crack up at a joke. Moreover, the star couple went to Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California, and The Hollywood Fix uploaded a small clip of their exit into their vehicle. While white lights flashed and the two artists walked quietly and calmly to their car, one paparazzi had to pipe up. "Beyoncé!" they yelled out to the couple. Then, they said "B to the A! I mean, B to the C- whatever." Furthermore, at that moment, you can hear both celebrities laugh softly at the poor photographer.

"Take care, Beyoncé," they added. "I love you. You run the world remember that," and you can slightly hear the singer thank him. After all, they're not wrong. Moreover, she had an incredibly successful past year, marked by her album RENAISSANCE and the announcement of a world tour. In fact, she received so much praise and acclaim that even a Grammy nomination feels moot. When she lost the Album of the Year award to Harry Styles' Harry's House, fans on social media reacted in rage.

Still, her husband isn't making a huge fuss of it. “I remove myself from the process and hope they just get it right,” he remarked about the Recording Academy's choices. “It got to the point where I was like, it’s just a marketing thing. You go, you got an album out and it could help the sales go up.” Of course, RENAISSANCE hardly needs a promotional or streaming boost, but the sentiment is there. After all, the most awarded Grammy rapper (tied with Kanye West) knows a thing or two about the ceremony. However, he still stood by why he felt the album deserved to win.

"Look what it’s done to the culture,” he expressed. “Look how the energy of the world moved. They play her whole album in the club. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that. The whole entire joint — like, everything?! Every remix is amazing. Everyone’s inspired. It has inspired the world. Every remix is better than the other one. From anybody, we’re just finding these joints out in the street… It’s inspiring creativity.

"You know how The Black Album had The Grey Album [Danger Mouse’s 2004 mashup project]?" he continued. "And the one with Radiohead? It was called Jaydiohead [Minty Fresh Beats’ 2009 mashup]. When it just inspires creativity, that’s an album. That has to be Album Of The Year. It has to be.” Regardless of your take, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and paparazzi comedians.
