Beyoncé has the internet in stitches after playfully acknowledging her “other husband” during a stop on her Cowboy Carter tour. The hilarious moment went down on July 4 at Northwest Stadium in Washington, D.C., where the Grammy-winning superstar spotted a very familiar face in the crowd—Anthony Cosby, the man behind one of her most iconic live-show exchanges.
🎤 “I See You, Husband!” — The Viral Reunion
As Beyoncé strutted across the stage, she suddenly locked eyes with Cosby, who was waving a giant sign bearing his name. Without missing a beat, the singer grinned and said:
“Come on Anthony. I see you, cousin. Husband.”
The crowd erupted in cheers as she leaned closer, smiling knowingly at her longtime fan.
Cosby, clearly emotional, later shared a video of the interaction on Instagram, writing:
“She remembered me y’all! 16 years later and I’m still Mrs. Knowles-Carter in my heart. 😂❤️🐝”
🕰️ Throwback to the OG Husband Moment
For those new to the Beyhive lore, Cosby first went viral back in 2009 during Beyoncé’s I Am… World Tour. During her “Say My Name” performance, Beyoncé asked for his name. He cheekily replied:
“Anthony Cosby Hyphen Knowles.”
When Beyoncé asked if he was her cousin, Cosby shot back:
“I’m your husband!”
The funny exchange became an instant classic and was even featured in the live concert video of “Say My Name”—a clip that has since racked up over 21 million views on YouTube.
👩👦 Tina Knowles Joins the Fun
Even Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, jumped in on the joke this time. She posted a photo of Cosby at the concert on Instagram, writing:
“Well!! My imagination son-in-law finally showed up again (last night) 😂❤️”
Her playful post sent fans into a frenzy, flooding the comments with laughing emojis and calls to “put a ring on it.”
🐝 The Beyhive Reacts
Fans on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram couldn’t get enough of the sweet moment:
- 🐝 “Anthony Cosby really made it back into Queen Bey’s memory bank. ICONIC.”
- ❤️ “This is why Beyoncé is the GOAT. She actually remembers her fans!”
- 😂 “Jay-Z better watch out—Anthony’s back in the picture.”
