New York, Jan 9 : A man at the hospital where Beyonce gave birth to her daughter, has said that the pop star’s security have prevented him and his wife from seeing their twin daughters who were born prematurely.

Beyonce gave birth to Blue Ivy Carter, Saturday night on the sixth floor of the Lennox Hill hospital, near the NICU (Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit).

Neil Coulon of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn said that he’s been repeatedly barred from the NICU, once for 20 minutes, by the superstar couple’s private security.

He said bodyguards wearing headsets even cleared the sixth floor waiting room, booting his relatives out.

“Three times they stopped me from entering or exiting the NICU and it happened once on Friday - just because they wanted to use the hallway,” the New York Daily quoted him as saying.

“They should have been more strategic about it… These are children with problems in intensive care and you’re just going to take over the hospital like you own it? All I want is an apology,” he said.

The hospital spokeswoman said that she had not personally heard of the complaints, and that they take ‘patient satisfaction very seriously’.

But Lenox Hill staffers, speaking anonymously, said that Beyonce and Jay-Z paid 1.3 million dollars to seal off and redecorate a wing at the hospital, in order to protect their privacy.

“Some people were upset… I heard a gentleman say he couldn’t go upstairs to see his baby [Saturday],” a staffer was quoted as saying.

Coulon insisted he wasn’t the only new parent upset by the current state of affairs in the hospital.

“This is the NICU. Nobody cares if you’re a celebrity. Nobody is stargazing. They just want to see their children,” he said.

“To have that circus roll into town and ruin our parade was unpleasant,” he said. (ANI)
