Jay Z may have 99 Problems but apparently a spilled drink isn’t one of them.

The 51-year-old rapper had a rather humble reaction when his friend and Brooklyn Nets co-owner had a little accident during an excitable moment at the game last night. 

With coveted courtside seats, Jay Z watched the Brooklyn Nets take on Miami Heat at the Barclays Center, New York on Wednesday evening. He was sat next to Clara Wu Tsai who is an owner of the Nets, and OJ Juan, a close friend and business partner. 

The Nets ended up losing to the Heat but there was one moment when they scored a win which got Clara all worked up with excitement. 

In a video circulating on social media, Clara is seen rushing back to her seat and grabbing Jay Z’s arm not realising he was holding a drink. The rapper, who was mid conversation with OG Juan, looked startled before trying to salvage his beverage. 

However, rather than give Clara – who is said to be a billionaire – a stern telling off, Jay Z instead reassured her all was OK and gave her leg a friendly tap while laughing and shaking off the drink spilled on his expensive clobber. 

Reacting to the viral moment, one Instagram user said: ‘I love Jay-Z 😍 his look on his face is priceless and he played it off so cool.’ 

One other joked: ‘Idk why people don’t understand he don’t like to be touched. Like at all🤣🤣.’ 

Another quipped: ‘It’s all smiles when everyone is rich.’

‘Jay be like calm down lil homie,’ another guessed. 

Loving Jay Z’s response, one commentator added: ‘He is so funny without even trying.’ 

The Big Pimpin rapper has been caught acting down-to-earth more than once recently, as he also went viral over his reaction when he spotted good friend Kelly Rowland on the red carpet.

Jay Z seemed either unaware she was attending the Harder They Fall premiere or didn’t recognise her all glammed up, but his expression was nonetheless priceless. 

He’s also been spotted signing autographs for fans outside his New York City office building everyday and even interacting with small children who waited for him.
