The get-together was attended by an array of famous couples — including Beyoncé and Jay Z, Kanye and Kim Kardashian West, Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz, and Diddy and Cassie — and took place at Pasquale Jones in Manhattan’s Little Italy. Swizz Beatz posted a photo of the celebration to Instagram early Monday morning, officially ensuring that everyone not invited was left with a major case of [FOMO](http://time.com/4358140/overcome-fomo/). “Family Zone,” he wrote, adding several crown emojis. School Boy Records founder Scooter Braun also shared some pictures of the shindig, captioning one photo of the group’s men, “Celebration dinner with some legends. Good times. Good people.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4471248/vmas-2016-mtv-beyonce-kanye-west-kim-kardashian-afterparty/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4471248/vmas-2016-mtv-beyonce-kanye-west-kim-kardashian-afterparty/"},"headline":"Beyoncé, Jay Z, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West All Hung Out After the VMAs and It Was Glorious","datePublished":"2016-08-29T19:42:04.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:35:59.674Z","description":"Alicia Keys and Diddy came too","url":"https://time.com/4471248/vmas-2016-mtv-beyonce-kanye-west-kim-kardashian-afterparty/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Beyonce","Jay-z","Kanye West","Kim Kardashian","vmas","mtv vmas","VMAs 2016"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb75422097d0fd8bb/6988a4122dce01354d9ea75c/beyonce-kanye-kim-kardashian-vmas-afterparty.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb75422097d0fd8bb/6988a4122dce01354d9ea75c/beyonce-kanye-kim-kardashian-vmas-afterparty.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"<> on August 28, 2016 in New York City.","caption":"Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, Beyonce, Jay Z, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Cassie celebrate their 2016 MTV Video Music Awards After Party at Pasquale Jones on August 28, 2016 in New York City.","creditText":"James Devaney/GC Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4471248/vmas-2016-mtv-beyonce-kanye-west-kim-kardashian-afterparty/","name":"Beyoncé, Jay Z, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West All Hung Out After the VMAs and It Was Glorious"}}]}] ```
