The couple have made frequent reference to the famous criminals for more than a decade now — Jay Z’s song “03 Bonnie & Clyde,” on which his now-wife was featured, came out in 2002. They have returned to that imagery in promoting their latest tour, as with a short film called Bang Bang, the first part of which they released earlier this month. But the film’s director, Dikayl Rimmasch, told Nowness that the allusion to the infamous criminals is not meant to be a literal one: “…it’s not that we’re Bonnie and Clyde,” he quotes Jay Z as saying. “We’re on the run from everything. On the run from becoming a cliché. On the run from doing the same thing again.”
Which is a good thing! Because the musical power couple has very little in common with the real-life criminal couple.
