There's finally some closure into the who bit Beyonce conspiracy - it was Sanaa Lathan, the 'Love & Basketball'star, who bit Queen Beyonce!

Page Six has cited that multiple sources confirm that it was indeed Sanaa who bit Bey in the face. Sanaa, however, denies that she was part of no such activity at all.  

Numerous sources reportedly told the publication that Lathan had been talking to Jay-Z a little too much at a D’Usse VIP part, post his show in Los Angeles in December 2017. This is when Queen Bey interrupted and Lathan went on to chomp her chin, albeit playfully.

Tiffany Haddish had let slip this story about Bey getting bitten before the world began to wonder who had done that. She had told in her interview with GQ, "There was this actor there that’s just, like, doing the mostest. She bit Beyoncé in the face." Who wouldn't be curious after such a statement? But to everyone's dismay, she didn't tell anyone who it was. 

An insider who was present at the fateful party, reportedly told Page Six, "It was a big thing in the moment at the party, everyone was talking about how anyone would dare to do that." 

And this was no ordinary bite, apparently, as 'Breakout' actress Haddish said, "Beyoncé’s at the bar, so I said.., 'Did she really bite you?’" perhaps hoping to give the culprit what they deserve, but Bey was above it. "[Bey] was like, 'Tiffany, no. Don’t do that …. She's not even drunk ... Just chill,'" revealed Haddish in the interview.

She denied doing the biting on March 27 on Twitter, saying, "Y’all are funny. Under no circumstance did I bite Beyoncé and if I did it would be a love bite." But this isn't the first time this tale has debuted, reportedly. Earlier, Haddish had mentioned it in a comedy show in January, this time revealing that she had a romance with French Montana — and guess who was rumored to be with him? That's right, Sanaa Lathan.
