Sources told TMZ that ‘it was not an aggressive bite … it was playful and noninvasive, but still caught Beyonce off guard.’
Fans reportedly found the guest list from the event and concluded that it could have been The Best Man actress Sanaa, 46, commenting with bumblebee emojis on Lathan’s social media.
Sanna broke her silence on Monday night, tweeting: ‘Y’all are funny. Under no circumstances did I bite Beyonce and if I did it would’ve been a love bite.’

Tiffany Haddish sparked the Twitter frenzy this week after her revelation that a mystery actress bit Beyonce’s face at a party.
And Beyonce’s notoriously dedicated Beyhive have been quick to place blame, prompting Love & Basketball actress Sanaa Lathan and model Sara Foster, ex step-sister of Bella and Gigi Hadid, to deny rumours that they are the culprits.
Girls’ Trip actress Tiffany started the drama when she told the April edition of GQ that music icon Beyonce was bit by a fellow reveller at a private afterparty following Jay Z’s performance at The Forum in Los Angeles in December.
Not me! Sanna addressed rumors on Monday night, tweeting: ‘Y’all are funny. Under no circumstances did I bite Beyoncé and if I did it would’ve been a love bite.’

While the Los Angeles native deliberately didn’t name the woman who bit Beyonce, the Bey Hive immediately began debating her identity.
Chrissy Teigen was one of the first, tweeting: ‘I cannot leave this planet without knowing who bit Beyonce in the face.’
She then followed this up with: ‘I can only think of one person who would do this. but I cannot say. but she….is the worst.’
However after finding out who the actress with vampire-like tendencies actually was, Chrissy expressed her shock.
‘My initial guess was wrong. The real person? I *never* would have guessed. I’VE SAID TOO MUCH.’
But while Chrissy wasn’t able to name the alleged biter, Twitter wasn’t so reticent, with fans all jumping to name actresses they thought could be to blame.
Who bit Beyonce’s face? Online frenzy followed Tiffany Haddish’s shock revelation… as Chrissy Teigen tweeted ‘You’d NEVER guess who it is!’
The debate was started when Tiffany opened up to GQ about the memorable December party, saying the actress appeared high on drugs.
Tiffany explained: ‘There was this actress there that’s just, like, doing the mostest. She bit Beyonce in the face.’
As might be imagined, Beyonce wasn’t happy about this.
Continued Tiffany: ‘So Beyonce stormed away, went up to Jay-Z, and was like, ‘Jay! Come here! This b****…’ and snatched him. They went to the back of the room. I was like, ‘What just happened?’ And Beyoncé’s friend walked up and was like, ‘Can you believe this b**** just bit Beyonce?”
Tiffany says that the mystery actress then crossed her path – telling her to stop dancing.
Tiffany then approached Beyonce, who she had met for the first time that evening.
The irrepressible 38-year-old said she told her: ‘I’m going to beat somebody a** at your party. I just want to let you know that.’
Beyonce told her not to, and said of the actress: ‘That b**** is on drugs. She not even drunk. The b**** is on drugs. She not like that all the time. Just chill.’
The interview updates Tiffany’s previous description of meeting the superstar, in which she went into less detail.
In it Tiffany said she had witnessed the singer act possessively when the unidentified actress placed her hand on Jay Z’s chest.
In response on DJ Khaled’s recent song Top Off, Queen Bey called out Tiffany, saying her name and rapping, ‘If they’re tryna party with the queen, they gon’ have to sign a non-disclosure.’
But the Girls Trip star doesn’t seem to be too worried that she has burned the friendship bridge with her idol.
‘Everything she said rang so real to me,’ she said in a tweet after the song was released. ‘Just know I will sign an NDA any day for Beyoncé. But also know this I will fight for Beyoncé. I love that woman she is a gift from God,’
