Her “Flawless” remix included the lyric, “Of course sometimes sh*t goes down when there’s a billion dollars on an elevator. If Beyoncé’s “Cozy” lyrics are about the elevator incident, this isn’t the first time she’s referenced it in her music. We’ve put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same.” We love each other and above all we are family. At the end of the day, families have problems and we’re no different. The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it. In case you need a reminder: Surveillance footage was leaked and published by TMZ of Solange and Jay-Z getting into a fight while Bey was with them, leading to speculation of infidelity on Jay-Z’s part (which Bey then addressed on Lemonade).Īlmost two weeks after, Beyoncé, Jay, and Solange released a joint statement, saying, “As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. She seems like a fighter,” he said.Beyoncé’s new album Renaissance just dropped, which I assume you already know due to staying up all night listening to it! And while everyone is busy analyzing the lyrics, let’s turn our attention to “Cozy.” She’s a god (ah-ooh), she’s a hero (ah-ooh) She survived (ah-ooh) all she been through (ah-ooh, ooh) Confident (ah-ooh), damn, she lethal (ah-ooh, ooh) Might I suggest you don’t fuck with my sis (ooh) ’Cause she comfortableĪs Genius and Newsweek were the first to point out, the line “Might I suggest you don’t fuck with my sis” seemingly references the infamous elevator fight between Solange and Jay-Z at the 2014 Met Gala.

In the surveillance video from the incident, Solange hit and kicked Jay-Z while Beyoncé, 37, silently stood by. He took to Instagram to stick up for Solange.
But the Knowles-Carter family has yet to respond to the embarrassing footage.ĭash, who had a falling out with Jay a few years ago, didn’t keep quiet, however. The footage was leaked to TMZ, but luckily for everyone involved, it did not include audio.Īfter the story broke, Beyoncé and Jay Z, real name Shawn Carter, put on a brave face at the Nets basketball game in Brooklyn on Monday night. Solange’s attack on Jay Z - three minutes of punches and kicks, as Beyoncé, 32, stood by but did not intervene - was filmed by the elevator’s camera. The problem with that plan, a source said, was Solange thought Roy was going to be at Up & Down - and it led her to get all UFC on Jay Z in the hotel’s elevator, sources said. The Brooklyn hip-hop master said he wanted to go to Rihanna’s after-party at Up & Down on 14th St., though Beyoncé was going to head home to the couple’s little girl, Blue Ivy. But Jay Z had no intention of calling it a night. With their party mood ruined, the three decided to say goodbye to the Boom Boom Room. At some point, with Solange separated from Roy, Jay Z told his sister-in-law that she was “out of line” for mouthing off to Roy. “She didn’t back down.”īeyoncé and Jay Z jumped in the middle of the two as they exchanged angry words. “Rachel is combative and a tough girl,” the source said.
