Jay-Z is known for being extremely tight-lipped about his relationship with wife Beyonce Knowles, but he took some time to joke about it on BBC's 'Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.'"She's a magnificent performer," he said. "I steal routines from her, she stole many things from me... The whole 'Uh-Oh' dance. I started that." He also claimed the rights to another famous piece of choreography -- the hand flip in 'Single Ladies.' "I actually created that dance. That was me, again." Watch the video after the jump!
Surprisingly, he then opened up about their Valentine's Day. "She was in Peru. I was in Denver," he said. "It was very romantic." The reason they were able to get close despite the distance? "Skype."

Even though I've never really cared for Jay-z..I'm pretty sure he was joking...

i think Beyonce is cute and dances great in this video but I'm amazed this crap won a Grammy award. We are now give awards to people with very little talent. Actually Taylor Swift's voice is no better and surprisingly she received an award last year. Both are undeserved. Let's go back to giving these prestigious awards to those who really earned them with truly good songs.

did you see her grab her crotch in her performance, like she was holding her di.. ? The grammy is given to whomever sells the most CD's, has nothing to do with actual music quality.
OK That's just absurd. Beyonce has one of the best voices in the industry. What other singer has been chosen to sing ALL of the Oscar-nominated songs at the Academy Awards? And Taylor Swift has a good voice as well. Who should have won in their place?
Now how in the hell did a beautiful girl hook up with a brother this damn ugly?????????????
Reply
The same way all us white hook up with all black men who dont want you.
neither one of them did - it's pretty much a dance that was done by a "girl group" years ago - even Beyonce admitted that on a talk show.......

Anyone who thinks Beyonce is a good dancer probably used to think Whitney Houston was also a good dancer.

my God--what crap--its like a strip show--this is dancing? pleaase--Thats why i guess they had to invent idol--cause there's no talent in USA--oh its there but you wont hear it from the Corporate music industry--get out to the local clubs--see some substance!
Jay~Z is actually a pretty humorous guy. I like him.

It really doesnt matter who came up with the dance Whether it was Jay-Z or not. The point is Beyonce is making mass money for shaking her rump! It's really not dance, dance but its shake your butt baby! Thats what's selling,
