According to Blanco, Beyoncé was also present at the gathering and he had to take a moment to appreciate his life and how he was spending time with two of the biggest music stars in the world.

However, Blanco’s awkward moment with the songstress happened much later in the day.

He narrated how he had planned to give the diva a goodnight kiss on the cheek but things didn’t quite go as planned.

Blanco was quoted to have said:

"I went to do like, kiss on the cheek, and I guess we just missed a little bit. And just like, I definitely hit the corner of some sort of lip. I'm like, 'Oh my God. This is the worst thing in my life'."

Blanco said he thought his life had come to an end as Jay-Z caught a full glimpse of what had happened.

"And I look at Jay and I'm like, 'Oh, OK. I'm dead. My life is over. It was great. Nice knowing you guys'."
