Jay-Z experienced every man's 'penis fear' last night, when he got a little too excited while cuddling up to Beyonce at a basketball game in NYC.

The couple took a night off from caring for their newborn daughter Blue Ivy, and went to watch the New Jersey Nets defeat the Knicks before going for a romantic meal at a Japanese restaurant.

However, it seems Jay may have wanted to end the night early because when he stood up to greet legendary director Spike Lee courtside, he appeared to be literally standing up - if you get what we mean. 

Jay had been cuddling up with Bey all night, caressing her thighs, kissing her cheek and whispering sweet nothings in her ear. 

Seems he'd better tell his soldier to retreat before he stands up in public!
