It was a hard knock elevator ride for Jay Z at the Met Gala last week, when he was caught on video getting pummeled by his sister-in-law Solange.
In the super-brief, super-grainy video clip that has since effectively broken the Internet (and will likely soon be wiped from the Internet by the Beygency) Jay and Solange are seen entering the elevator, in which Beyonce is already standing, accompanied by a large bodyguard. Almost immediately, Solange starts swinging at Jay while Bey sort of just stands there looking bored. Which is probably a pretty accurate metaphor for how Beyonce looks whenever anything is happening around Beyonce that doesn’t directly star Beyonce.
The large bodyguard quickly pulls Solange (who, to her credit, has always seemed like the cooler and more interesting Knowles sister) off Jay (who, to his credit, doesn’t appear to fight back in any way, past deflecting some nasty blows—and one nasty kick) while Beyonce (who, to her credit, is one unflappable customer) sort of stares off into space.
No word on what caused the brawl—though the Internet rumor mill is already grinding away at top speed—but it looks like Jay has some serious dirt to brush off his shoulder, because Solange’s fists offered him a private invitation to f*ckwithheryouknowshegotit, if you see what I’m doing here. (I’m making bad Jay Z song title puns, is what I’m doing here.)
