Lily Allen’s pooch problems with Jay Z
OHMYGOSSIP — Lily Allen once got on the wrong side of Jay Z’s security team when she tied her pet dog up outside his dressing room. The singer caused chaos backstage at London’s Wireless festival in 2010 – where both she and the rapper were scheduled to perform – when she left her pet pooch Mabel outside the ’99 Problems’ hitmaker’s VIP area.
She told BBC Radio 2: “At Hyde Park a couple of years ago I tied Mabel up outside my dressing room before going on stage. Jay Z’s bodyguard came over and was like, ‘You have to move that dog!’ Jay Z and Beyonce are about to arrive.
“Then Jay Z walked through and was like, ‘The dog is OK’. It was literally, 99 problems and the b***h ain’t one.”
Lily – who has daughters Ethel, two, and Marnie, 14 months with her husband Sam Cooper – is no stranger to controversy and recently took to Twitter to slam MTV for attempting to ban her new music video ‘Our Time’.
The video shows her drinking from a flask in the back of a taxi before fighting with another version of herself dressed as a hot dog.
She angrily tweeted: “MTV want to ban the ‘Our Time’ video during the daytime, unless they get a clean edit that show you a) NOT DRINKING FROM A FLASK and b) NOT DISPLAYING ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR FROM DRINKING BY FIGHTING WITH THE HOT DOG. I told the label we are NOT making a clean version of the video. Bring on the controversy! (sic)”
