Jay-Z doesn't really like to open up about his personal life and rarely talks to the press about what he and Beyoncé do together in their off-time. But when he stopped by BBC One's "Friday Night With Jonathan Ross" across the pond last Friday, Jay decided that he'd just roll with the personal questions and have a good-natured laugh about the whole thing.

"You're my guy," he joked to Ross about how he loves to talk to him about life with his pop superstar wife, ranking his confidantes: "Obama. You." (He had just shared with Ross that he had been invited to the White House by President Obama.)

Hova explained that Beyoncé was too busy with previous engagements to join him in the U.K., and then he seemed to take advantage of her absence to declare that he was the mastermind behind her famous dance moves. "She's actually in Trinidad," he said. "She has a concert. [We go to each other's shows] all the time, of course. She's a magnificent performer. I steal routines from her. She stole many things from me. You know, I see it onstage ... the ['Crazy in Love'] 'Uh-oh' dance, I started that. You probably don't know what that is."

Then Jay decided to take credit for her most famous dance to date: "I actually created that dance [from 'Single Ladies']," he deadpanned. "That was me again. [I said], 'You should do this [the hand-wave motion],' and she did it. I wouldn't really tell anybody. It's what you asked me, so I don't want to make it seem like I'm making myself more important."

Jay-Z remained in a jocular mood when Ross asked how he spent Valentine's Day with Beyoncé. "Well, I'm not gonna tell you that," he said after a pause. "I'll give you a little bit of information. She was in Peru, and I was in Denver, on my way to here, and ... it was very romantic. ... Skype."
