JAY-Z was front and centre at the star-studded screening of his upcoming film The Harder They Fall [1] in Los Angeles on 13 Oct. The premiere brought out a bunch of famous faces — including Winnie Harlow [2], Karrueche Tran [3], Kehlani, and, of course, his wife, Beyoncé [4] — but he clearly had no idea Kelly Rowland [5] would be in attendance, because he had the cutest reaction when he spotted her on the red carpet. Netflix's official Twitter account shared a clip of the sweet moment [6], showing JAY-Z's genuine surprise at seeing his friend. "I didn't even know you were here," he told Kelly as he gave her a big hug.

In a recent Instagram Live, Kelly reacted to the now-viral moment [7], saying she didn't understand why it was such a big deal since she and JAY-Z see each other all the time. "Some things I will never understand," Kelly said. "I see my big bro all the time, but I guess you guys never see what we see? I don't know."

The Harder They Fall is a Black Western starring Idris Elba, Jonathan Majors, Zazie Beetz, Delroy Lindo, LaKeith Stanfield, Danielle Deadwyler, Edi Gathegi, R.J. Cyler, Damon Wayans Jr., Deon Cole, and Regina King. JAY-Z is a coproducer along with James Lassiter, Lawrence Bender, and G. Mac Brown. While speaking with Entertainment Tonight, JAY-Z said he hopes the film shows viewers the importance of representation [8]. "I love to be apart of projects that widen the lens," JAY-Z said. "Once it's widened for us, it's widened for Asians. For Mexicans. For everyone." Ahead, see more of JAY-Z and Kelly's reunion at The Harder They Fall's screening, and make sure to stream it on Netflix when it debuts on 3. Nov.
