Someone attempted to record a video of Beyoncé dancing with Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland and rapper Saweetie at Diddy's 50th birthday party on Saturday, and Jay-Z appeared to intervene by snatching the phone. 

A viral video surfaced of the three performers dancing together to Bobby Brown's "Every Little Step," and Jay-Z can be seen in the periphery grabbing the individual's phone as soon as he realized what they were recording.

While viewers can't hear what the "99 Problems" rapper says to the person after he grabbed the phone, Jay-Z exchanged words with them and had a visibly frustrated look on his face.

As the video panned over to the crowd, the rapper handed the phone back to the individual, who put their hands up, while Beyoncé appeared to reach out to them to brush off the incident. 

After the video surfaced, fans reacted on Twitter to the rapper's phone snatch.

The couple, who wed in 2011, attended Diddy's black-tie, celebrity-filled party on Saturday along with stars including Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Pharrell Williams, Post Malone, and more. TMZ reported that the party was held at Diddy's $40 million house in LA. 

The "Partition" singer donned an embellished, strapless dress with a high slit exposing her leg. She also layered gem-filled rings and bracelets over elbow-length black gloves. The singer complemented the look with sparkly gold eyeshadow, oversized green earrings, and old Hollywood waves.
