NEW YORK (Beyonce Fans Website) - If you were wondering why Sean Paul did not take the stage to sing his part on Beyonce's MTV VMAs performance of "Baby Boy", you're not alone. He was there, his voice was there but the two never combined.

Jeremy Harding, Sean Paul's manager, told the Jamaica Observer, "We were told through the president of Atlantic Records, Craig Kallman, that Jay-Z wanted to be the only guest artist to perform with Beyonce at the awards show. Jay-Z did not want Sean Paul on stage with her and he made it clear." Jay Z appeared for the "Crazy In Love" section of Beyonce's medley.
Harding also said that Paul was restricted from contact with Beyonce while shooting the video for "Baby Boy." The two are seldom in the same shot.
