Highlights

  • Music power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z are rumoured to be in the thick of an ugly feud with Solange Knowles, Beyonce's sister. International websites report that Solange, also an actress and singer like Beyonce, allegedly attacked Jay-Z in a hotel elevator at a Met Gala after-party in New York on May 5.
  • TMZ.com has accessed closed circuit video footage believed to be from inside the elevator which shows a woman, who could be Solange, launching herself into a ferocious verbal and physical assault on a man in a tuxedo, who could be Jay-Z. Another man, possibly a bodyguard, is seen trying to restrain the attacker while a second woman, thought to be Beyonce, stands by before attempting to interve.
  • Just hours before the alleged attack, a Givenchy-clad Beyonce and Solange, in peach 3.1 Phillip Lim, were hanging out quite happily at the Met Gala together, as this picture with actresses Lupita N'yongo and Sarah Paulson shows:
  • No official statement has been made from either side, not even to deny the alleged incident. This prayer, posted by 32-year-old Beyonce on her Instagram page on May 8, is thought to be an oblique reference by the Crazy In Love singer to the attack and to her relationship with her sister.
  • Meanwhile, Solange Knowles, five years younger than her famous sibling, has apparently deleted all photos of Beyonce from her own Instagram page.
  • Over the weekend, Beyonce and Jay-Z were spotted courtside at the NBA playoffs, serenely watching the basketball.
