According to Hardwick, Beyonce and Jay-Z were two of many celebrities who expressed concern about his daughter’s recovery after learning that Nova scratched her cornea. “She has ironically been injured in two very historical moments for me,” Omari shares exclusively with Global Grind. “Her cornea was scratched the night of the Image Awards,” he explains. “The length of [my] talk with Jay was him asking me about her eye. The length of the hug with Bey was her asking about her eye. I give the speech and I bring up her eye.”
Of course, viewers at home did not hear the conversation that Omari Hardwick had with Jay-Z before giving Beyonce hugs and kisses. They only saw the double kiss and equated the act with something inappropriate.

“In the extension of the length of the hug with a friend named Beyoncé, I was thinking and talking about Nova,” Omari Hardwick doubles down. “My honor and my respect for women – while you have idiot fanbases who go ‘Watch your wife around Omari’ – I got a wife (A), so f*ck you. I love you, but f*ck you (B). (C), I respect women so much prior to Nova being born that once Nova got to Earth… man, it doubled my respect for women. But I had it already ’cause I had a pop, who validated my existence as a man, so I didn’t think demeaning women was ever cool.”
Omari Hardwick and his wife, Jennifer, have two children – Nova and Brave – together. Stay tuned for more celebrity dad news!
