Omari Hardwick Claims He Kissed Beyonce Because He Didn't Want JAY-Z To Smack Him

Actor Omari Hardwick raised some eyebrows earlier this year after he aggressively hugged and kissed Beyonce at the NAACP awards.

While some folks, like Hardwick's Power boss 50 Cent, suggested JAY-Z might "kill" Ghost for manhandling his woman, Hardwick saw it completely differently.

In a new interview with Ebro in the Morning, Hardwick said Hov would have had problem with him if he didn't greet Bey warmly.

"Jay would have slapped me upside the head, like damn n**a, you seen B? Go give her a hug," he claimed. "That's a woman that reached out to me at one in the morning, said I'm doing a surprise birthday for Jay, you gotta be there. That's a friend."

Ya buying that?
