Denzel Washington seems like a person who will give hard-hitting advice and then proceed to philosophize about life in general. However, he is also the type of person who will never let people get away with bad behavior, as he will take it upon himself to reprimand them or talk some sense into them.

A similar situation occurred last year at the Lakers Game where Washington was seen getting into a heated argument with somebody. Security personnel and the actor’s bodyguards are also seen surrounding him.

Jay-Z quickly arrived on the scene and tried to defuse the situation with some laughter and hugs to Washington. But the latter was having none of it and even pushed Jay-Z aside to continue the argument. The rapper has a net worth of $2.5 billion, as per Forbes, and yet he did not take it to heart and instead continued his efforts to calm Washington down.

In the end, the Training Day actor chose to let the matter go and accepted Jay-Z’s hugs and handshakes. The person he was arguing with was not captured on camera nor was there any audio to know what the actor was yelling about. It did seem heated as Washington was adamant about getting his point across.
