Solange Knowles Allegedly Attacks Jay Z In An Elevator
As Beyoncé Looks On
We really want to know
#WhatJayZSaidToSolange, too.
Jay Z and his sister-in-law, Solange
Knowles, appeared to get into an altercation on their way to a Met Gala
afterparty in New York City last week.
TMZ posted surveillance
footage from inside an elevator at the Standard Hotel where Jay Z, Beyoncé, and
Solange were headed up to a bash at the Boom Boom Room when, all of a sudden,
the DJ allegedly lost it on the rapper.
In the video, a woman understood to
be Solange, 27, aggressively confronts a man believed to be Jay Z, 44, about
something, and after the two appear to exchange words — there is no audio in
the footage — she starts punching and shoving him. The rapper, however, does
not hit back. A bodyguard-type then separates the two, but despite being
restrained, Solange starts kicking her brother-in-law. A woman believed to be
Beyoncé can be seen standing next to her husband although she never gets
physically involved.
TMZ notes that the bodyguard hit the
emergency stop switch on the 12th floor (mid fight) presumably to keep the
altercation private.
It's unclear what triggered the
disagreement, and reps for Jay Z, Solange, and Beyoncé have yet to comment on
the matter.
The Standard released the following
statement on Monday: "We are shocked and disappointed that there was a
clear breach of our security system and the confidentiality that we count on
providing our guests. We are investigating with the utmost urgency the circumstances
surrounding the situation and, as is our customary practice, will discipline
and prosecute the individuals involved to our fullest capacity."
Last Tuesday, Beyoncé posted a photo
alongside Solange, Lupita Nyong’o, and Sarah Paulson at the Met Gala
afterparty, smiling like nothing was wrong.
However, when the trio was photographed
leaving the Standard Hotel post-fight early Tuesday morning, Solange looked
visibly upset exiting the soiree ahead of her older sister and Jay Z. The
32-year-old "XO" singer and Solange got in one car together, while
the "Holy Grail" rapper left in a separate vehicle.
On May 7,
Bey shared the following prayer on Instagram, which may or may not be related
to the elevator incident:
The altercation is shocking as Beyoncé, Jay
Z, and Solange are a notoriously tight-knit group.
Just last
month, Beyoncé and Jay Z attended both weekends of Coachella in Indio,
California, to support the R&B singer, who was performing at the festival.
(Beyoncé even came out on stage during Solange's weekend 1 gig.)
Whatever
the fight was about, the family seems to have moved on.
On
Saturday, Solange's son, Juelz, watched the Brooklyn Nets beat the Miami
Heat 104-90 with his famous aunt and uncle at Barclays Center.
