Solange appears to kick, punch and scream at her brother-in-law._ by [Jessica Roy](https://time.com/author/jessica-roy/) ## Jessica Roy May 12, 2014 7:29 PM UTC  Solange Solange Larry Busacca—Getty Images by [Jessica Roy](https://time.com/author/jessica-roy/) ## Jessica Roy May 12, 2014 7:29 PM UTC The world halted on its axis Monday when TMZ published [surveillance footage](http://www.tmz.com/2014/05/12/jay-z-solange-fight-elevator-video-beyonce-met-gala/) that purportedly shows Solange Knowles, the younger sister of the one and only Beyoncé, getting into a fight with Jay Z in an elevator while Bey stands in the corner. TMZ claims the video footage comes from the elevator at the Standard Hotel, where along with an apparently much-needed security guard, the trio attended an after party following the annual Met Gala, a red-letter evening on New York’s fashion calendar. The hotel told[ _The Grio_](http://thegrio.com/2014/05/12/solange-video-jay-hotel-statement/) it is “shocked and disappointed that there was a clear breach of our security system,” but neither Solange Knowles nor Jay Z have commented. Since the clip has no audio, it’s unclear what started the confrontation. But Twitter, of course, took the news and ran with it. Within minutes Solange was trending on both Facebook and Twitter, and shortly thereafter the hashtag #WhatJayZSaidToSolange became Twitter’s top hashtag.

[00:04] That's what pretty much everyone is asking after TMZ [00:06] posted this 3 minute video seemingly of the duo getting [00:10] into a physical altercation. Solange appears to kick, punch, [00:14] and scream at her brother- in- law. Solange's sister and [00:16] Jay's wife, Beyoncé was present too. The fight occurred in [00:19] an elevator at New York Standard Hotel, May 5th, after the [00:22] Met Gala. The three musicians were there for an after [00:25] party. They all left the venue together but as the Daily Mail [00:28] notes, Solange appeared visibly angry and Jay Z. Quote, [00:32] shell shocked. But People reports the three did not leave [00:35] the event together. Beyoncé and Solange took one car, [00:39] while J took another. An onlooker said Solange's face [00:42] quote, told it all. But Beyoncé doesn't appear to be taking [00:45] sides. She was snapped at the Brooklyn Nets game after [00:48] the altercation with J. The three stars have yet to speak out [00:51] on the incident, silent on social media, with representatives [00:54] yet to respond, to any outlet's request of comment. So it's [00:57] all still a mystery, there didn't seem to be any strife between [01:00] the sisters, inside the MET Gala event, and everything [01:03] appeared fine between the family a few weeks. Back at [01:06] Coachella. What we do is that the standard hotel is [01:09] investigating how the security footage got out. The hotel [01:12] released a statement saying, we well disciple and [01:14] prosecute the individuals involved to our fullest capacity. [01:18] Thanks for watching.
