JAY-Z and Beyoncé caught the internet’s attention at Paris Fashion Week, grooving to an Indian track during Pharrell Williams‘ Louis Vuitton Menswear Spring/Summer 2026 show.
The Hip-Hop power couple, seated in the front row at the star-studded runway event, were filmed nodding along to “Yaara Punjabi,” a collaboration between Pharrell and renowned Indian composer A.R. Rahman.
The moment quickly went viral, with social media users cracking jokes about Beyoncé clocking JAY-Z’s famously off-the-dome creative process.
“That pen-less ass n#### writing a dope ass rap in his head,” one user wrote. “Bey see it!”

Another added, “That smirk at the end let us know he just came up with something crazy!”
A third chimed in, “Lmao they mentally sending verses back and forth to each other.”
The viral clip wasn’t just a random vibe check—it also tapped into Hov’s appreciation for Indian music.
Back in 2003, he teamed up with Panjabi MC for the remix of “Mundian To Bach Ke.” The track, retitled “Beware of the Boys,” fused bhangra rhythms with Hip-Hop beats and sampled the iconic Knight Rider theme, becoming a global hit.
“It wasn’t like anything else playing,” JAY-Z wrote in his 2010 memoir Decoded. “The bass line was propulsive and familiar, but it took me a second to realize it was from the theme song of Knight Rider. All I knew was it was something totally fresh. It felt like world music in the best sense.”
He even performed that remix at Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton debut in June 2023.
