A brief interaction took the world by storm, and while Kelly Rowland doesn’t think much of her recent viral moment with Jay-Z, the public is still eating it up. The pair both attended the premiere of The Harder They Fall and camera crews, as well as guests, were documenting every moment. Jay-Z and Seal were said to have treated attendees to a 90-minute jam session, and while that would be incredible to witness, a quick interaction between Jay and Kelly Rowland stole attention.
