In the glamorous world of celebrities, May 2014 marked a shocking turn of events when Solange Knowles, the younger sister of Queen Bey herself, was caught on security footage attacking Jay-Z in an elevator after the Met Gala. The leaked video, obtained by TMZ, showed Solange furiously throwing punches and kicks at her brother-in-law, sparking a media frenzy and endless speculation about the cause of the altercation.
The incident took place at an after-party at The Standard Hotel in New York City, where tensions between the trio escalated to a boiling point. In the grainy, silent footage, Solange can be seen repeatedly lunging at Jay-Z before being restrained by a security guard who also hit the emergency stop button to contain the situation. With no audio, the world was left to wonder: what could have possibly caused such a heated outburst?
The video quickly went viral, shared on social media by a user named @unclescrooch, who goes by the handle "X". And even though it's been years since the incident, people are still asking questions and trying to piece together the puzzle. In fact, in a tweet posted on January 8, 2025, user @ofentsemwase asked, "Did we ever find out why Solange was beating Jay Z here..?"
While there was no immediate explanation for the fight, sources later revealed that it was likely due to Jay-Z's alleged infidelity. Reports claimed that Solange was confronting him over his relationship with fashion designer Rachel Roy, who was rumored to have been involved with the rapper. The scandal only added fuel to the fire of speculation surrounding Beyoncé's marriage, especially after she released cryptic lyrics in her 2016 album Lemonade, seemingly referencing betrayal.
In the aftermath, the family released a statement to diffuse the situation, saying, "Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility. They have apologized to each other, and we have moved forward as a united family." Beyoncé also addressed the incident in her song "Flawless," rapping, "Of course sometimes s* goes down when it's a billion dollars on an elevator."
Although the real reason behind the fight remains a mystery, one thing is for sure: this was the most dramatic elevator ride in the history of glamour.
