Benny Blanco’s life ‘flashed before his eyes’ after he accidentally kissed Beyonce on the lips in front of Jay-Z.

Honestly, it’s giving us heart palpitations even thinking about it.

The 33-year-old recalled a cringeworthy incident with Queen Bey and her husband while chatting on The Zane Lowe Show.

The producer told Zane that around 10 years ago, he stayed at the Carters’ home in the Hamptons, and was asked to participate in a beat battle with other producers including Hit-Boy.

Benny said: ‘I’m playing beats, and Jay-Z is there and we’re just drinking, chilling. He comes up to me and he’s free-styling in my ear. And I’m like, “Jay-z is sitting here, getting drunk with me while Beyoncé is singing little riffs, and he’s free-styling in my ear. And we’re about to all go in the pool after”. 

‘It’s these moments, I’m like, “How is this my life?”’

However, on the third night of Benny’s dream week, he thought he was going to ‘be in a coffin’ the next day after his European farewell to Beyonce went awry.

Benny explained that in trying to give the superstar a kiss goodnight on the cheek, he overshot his aim.

The Lonely hitmaker continued: ‘I’m very European. You go in and you do that. … And I went to do like, kiss on the cheek, and I guess we just missed a little bit. And just like, I definitely hit the corner of some sort of lip. 

‘I’m like, “Oh my God. This is the worst thing in my life”. And I’m sitting there, and as I’m doing it, out of the corner of my eye, Jay-Z is right there looking at me. And I’m just like, “My lip is here. Hers is there, and there’s definitely some corner things are happening.” 

‘And I look at Jay and I’m like, “Oh, OK. I’m dead. My life is over. It was great. Nice knowing you guys.” This man is going to be in a coffin tomorrow. My life flashed before my eyes. And I’m sitting there, and I look. 

‘And then, he’s like, “All right, bro. See you tomorrow.” Like, no one noticed.’

Phew.

Benny went on not to end up in a coffin in the Hamptons but graduate from producer and songwriter to the stars to self-proclaimed chart success, with his track Eastside with Halsey and Khalid hitting number one in the UK. 

Meanwhile, Bey and Jay are going strong, and will mark 13 years of marriage this year.

The power couple were seen wearing matching black outfits together at the Grammys a week ago, where Beyonce won two awards and became the most decorated female artist ever at the Grammys. 

The couple share three children together – Grammy award winner Blue Ivy, nine, and three-year-old twins Rumi and Sir.
