Jay Z and Robert De Niro were spotted hanging out and laughing together at the 2016 amfAR gala in New York, which is big news because the two had a very public falling out in 2012. De Niro called out Jay Z in person at Leonardo DiCaprio's birthday bash for allegedly not returning his phone calls, Page Six reports. According to the report, De Niro called Jay "disrespectful" after attempting to work together on a song for the Tribeca Film Festival.

A source said, "He told Jay that if somebody calls you six times, you call them back. It doesn’t matter who you are, that is just rude.” They went on to add that Beyoncé came over to attempt to alleviate the situation, but she couldn't calm down De Niro. The source added, "It was the talk of the party. Everyone was saying there’s only one star in New York bigger and badder than Jay-Z, and that’s Robert De Niro. He can be quite scary when he’s angry.”

A conflicting report from another source stated, “It was a low-key private conversation between two people that was apparently overheard. It was not a heated discussion.”

Whatever the issue, it seems that it's now all in the past. Not only were Jay and De Niro having a great time laughing around a table at the gala, but the two were also photographed in a friendly embrace. We're always fans of a happy ending.
