Naturally, the clowns among them left a few witty comments. One fan jokingly stated that they mistook the renowned rapper for the iconic singer Lionel Richie while another fan playfully attacked Barrymore.

The user implied that the actress was denied a follow back from Jay-Z by his wife as the former CEO of Def Jam Recordings was only following Beyonce on Instagram.
