Jay-Z was a no-show at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday night (Feb. 12). That’s because he was taking his wife Beyoncé on a pizza date in Brooklyn.
Although Jay-Z and Kanye West won a Grammy for Best Rap Performance for “Otis” off their Watch the Throne album, and Bey was nominated for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, both were nowhere to be seen at the Staples Center.
Although it’s still unclear where Kanye was, Jigga was on a pre-Valentine’s Day with his wife at their favorite pizzeria, Lucali, in the Carroll Gardens section of Brooklyn, all according to US Weekly.
A witness told the celebrity-based magazine that the new parents “were just like a regular couple talking” and that Bey said goodbye to the restaurant’s owner and waitress.
Grammy presenters Fergie and Marc Anthony accepted the Grammy on ’Ye and Hov’s behalf on Sunday night.
