According to Shawn Paul, when they shot the music video, he was informed that he wouldn’t share any scenes with Beyoncé. There were rumors at the time that Jay-Z was uncomfortable with their closeness, leading to speculations that something more than a professional relationship might be happening between Shawn Paul and Beyoncé.

Shawn Paul recounts incidents of sabotage during their performances together. He describes a situation where his microphone was intentionally turned off during a live performance, affecting the energy of the crowd and creating an awkward experience. This sabotage occurred at least twice, raising suspicions that someone was trying to harm his reputation.

During an MTV performance in Scotland, the planned collaboration was marred by technical issues, as the track continued without Shawn Paul’s vocals. This further convinced him that there was a deliberate effort to sabotage his performances with Beyoncé.

Despite the success of “Baby Boy,” Shawn Paul only got to perform the song with Beyoncé three times. He shares how, after the performances, he faced backlash and blame while Beyoncé continued to perform the song solo. Shawn Paul eventually decided to let go of the collaboration, realizing that there were forces working against him.

The video also touches on Jay-Z’s alleged role in sabotaging Shawn Paul’s performances, with suspicions that Jay-Z was uncomfortable with their collaboration due to rumors of an affair. The narrative suggests a controlling and possessive behavior from Jay-Z, who might have gone to great lengths to ensure Beyoncé’s exclusive stage presence.
