Here's the Story of President Obama & Beyoncé's First Meeting
Everyone knows Beyoncé keeps her inner circle so tight you've got to be family or the President to hang. Luckily Barack Obama wound up becoming the latter, and now we've got details on when he first kicked it with Bey, back when he was still a senator in 2007.
A new memoir by Obama's personal aide de camp (a.k.a. "bodyman"), Reggie Love, says Obama met the singer shortly after she wrapped her 2007 Beyoncé Experience tour. An excerpt of Power Forward: My Presidential Education obtained by People details the experience:
"Beyoncé admitted her feet were killing her. Obama joked, 'You have to have a masseuse to massage your feet. That must be in the budget for the tour production.'
And Jay said, 'Yeah, so long as it isn't a man.'
I quipped, 'You've seen Pulp Fiction. You never let another man massage your woman's feet,' after which Jay burst out laughing.'"
Ah, the rich and famous—they make corny jokes too.
