Jay-Z, Beyoncé and Steve Stoute, photographed leaving the Cipriani Downtown restaurant in SoHo on August 17, 2002. Hov is wearing Rocawear head-to-toe, and a pair of his Reebok “S. Carter I” sneakers.

No doubt you have seen this photograph captioned with the erroneous claim that this was “the first time Jay-Z saw Beyoncé.” Nope, it is simply a shot of them leaving a lunch date at one of their favorite restaurants. That internet tho… Ha.

“You came back, I let you set the date, Nobu on the plate 
I brought my dude to play it cool, my first foolish mistake"
