Solange Attacks Jay-Z, Inspires Beyonce's "Flawless"
2014
Beyoncé's sister Solange Knowles attacks Jay-Z in an elevator they are all riding after attending the Met Gala at The Standard hotel in New York. The footage, which is leaked on TMZ, shows Jay taking his whooping before a security guard restrains Solange. Beyoncé later mentions the incident in her song "Flawless" when she sings, "sometime s--t go down when there's a billion dollars on an elevator."
Two years before Beyonce implies her husband's infidelity in the title track of her Lemonadealbum, mysterious cracks appear in the foundation of hip-hop's royal family, with sister Solange swinging the hammer. Although no explanation is given to explain the physical altercation with her brother-in-law, Solange garners support from many of Beyoncé's fans, who assume Jay-Z must have been up to no good to elicit such a reaction from Bey's protective little sister. Queen Bey, the picture of repose as Solange kicks and punches at Jay-Z, makes a vague statement through her hit "Flawless," essentially explaining, "sh--t happens."
In a joint statement, the family assures the public: "We love each other and, above all, we are family. We've put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same."
