While filming his new video for “Picasso Baby” at Pace Gallery in New York City, Jay Z reportedly ran into some trouble with HBO Girls star Jemima Kirke.
Kirke was reportedly attaching herself to Jay-Z as he was rapping and interacting with guests and other celebs. The British actress supposedly refused to let go of him, resulting in security removing her from the set. A source at the taping said, “She was acting totally nuts! She kept jumping on his back like a little monkey.”
However, the director of the video, Mark Romanek, took to Twitter Wednesday morning to set the record straight, saying “I hope she doesn’t mind me saying so, but these absurd rumors about Jemima Kirke’s behavior at the PICASSO BABY shoot are utter bulls—t.”
Kirke made it into the final cut of Jay-Z’s video, which can be seen below:
