May 5th 2024.
Solange, Beyonce, and Jay Z were once known as a tight trio. They were always seen as the most untouchable celebrity couple, constantly displaying their love for each other through their music and performances. However, 10 years ago, everything changed with the release of a grainy, black-and-white CCTV clip showing a shocking altercation between Jay Z and Solange in an elevator after the Met Gala.
Many questions arose from the incident - what were they fighting about? Why didn't Beyonce intervene? And what does their bodyguard Julius know? Fans spent countless hours analyzing every frame of the video, trying to make sense of the chaos that unfolded on May 5, 2014. Those three minutes became ingrained in pop culture history, reminding everyone that even with their fame and success, Beyonce, Jay Z, and Solange are just a regular family who have their ups and downs.
The CCTV clip captured the tense moments leading up to the altercation. Beyonce calmly entered the elevator and waited in the corner, followed by Solange who immediately appeared angry. She wasted no time in confronting Jay Z, pointing her finger in his face and saying some strong words. Their bodyguard, Julius, quickly intervened and pressed the emergency button to stop the elevator on the 12th floor. Despite his efforts to restrain Solange, she continued to lash out at her brother-in-law.
The most shocking moment came when Solange kicked Jay Z while he was being held back by Julius. Beyonce, who had been standing still like a statue, finally stepped in to protect her husband. After the doors opened, they all walked out - Jay Z holding his hand to his face, Beyonce smiling professionally, and Solange visibly upset. The photos taken of them leaving the elevator did not reveal the chaos that had just occurred.
The incident caused a stir in the media and became the subject of conversations and memes for weeks, leading up to the release of Beyonce's album Lemonade in 2016. One song in particular, "Sorry," shed light on the tension between Beyonce, Jay Z, and Solange. It was rumored that Solange was confronting Jay Z about his alleged infidelity, and the lyrics of the song only fueled the speculation.
The line "He better call Becky with the good hair" led to intense speculation about who "Becky" could be. Various female celebrities were accused of being Jay Z's mistress, but most denied these rumors. The identity of "Becky" remains a mystery, with an insider revealing that she was a combination of different women.
Despite the drama and rumors, Beyonce and Jay Z's marriage weathered the storm. They appeared to be more in love than ever, and according to an insider, the family has moved past the incident. Jay Z has known Solange since she was in high school and understood why she stood up for her sister. The family saw it as an opportunity to address their struggles and come clean about things they were dealing with.
Beyonce may have seemed silent in the elevator, but she didn't stay quiet for long. She found humor in the situation, joking about it in her music and even warning others not to mess with her sister. The incident may have been traumatic, but it ultimately brought the family closer together and strengthened their bond.
