On Wednesday, January 4, Neil Coulon's wife brought two twin girls into the world at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. The twins, delivered via C-section, were premature and underweight, meaning they went straight to hospital's Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit. Then, on Friday, Beyoncé and Jay-Z shut down an entire floor of Lenox Hill for the birth of their child, Blue Ivy Carter.

Now Coulon, a contractor from Bed-Stuy, is claiming that the headset-wearing security brought to the hospital by hip-hop's most powerful couple kept him from visiting his newborn children.

“Three times they stopped me from entering or exiting the NICU (Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit) and it happened once on Friday — just because they wanted to use the hallway,” Coulon said.

The hospital has not officially released a statement commenting on the situation.
