99 problems but that dog ain’t one: Lily Allen and Jay Z nearly clash over pet poodle

Singer Lily Allen has revealed how she once nearly got in an altercation with rapping superstar Jay Z about her pet dog.

Performing at The Wireless Festival in 2010, Allen decided to tie up her pet pooch Mabel backstage.

However, what the LDN singer failed to realise, was that the space she had decided to leave her dog was the VIP area of rapper Jay Z.

Speaking to BBC Radio 2, Allen said: "At Hyde Park a couple of years ago I tied Mabel up outside my dressing room before going on stage. Jay Z's bodyguard came over and was like, 'You have to move that dog!' Jay Z and Beyonce are about to arrive.

"Then Jay Z walked through and was like, 'The dog is OK'. It was literally, 99 problems and the b***h ain't one."

Allen is no stranger to controversy. She recently hit twitter took to publicly criticise MTV for attempting to ban her new music video Our Time.

The music channel decided not to broadcast Allen’s bizarre video that shows her drinking from a flask in the back of a taxi before fighting with another version of herself dressed as a hot dog.

In reaction to the decision Allen angrily tweeted: "MTV want to ban the Our Time video during the daytime, unless they get a clean edit that show you a) NOT DRINKING FROM A FLASK and b) NOT DISPLAYING ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR FROM DRINKING BY FIGHTING WITH THE HOT DOG. I told the label we are NOT making a clean version of the video. Bring on the controversy! (sic)"
