Solange Knowles assaulted Jay Z because the rapper planned on attending Rihanna’s Met Gala after-party without Beyonce, according to a source who spoke with the New York Daily News.
The source says problems between Jay Z and Solange began 15 minutes prior to the hotel altercation. A few of Solange’s friends reportedly told The Standard they were Jay Z’s guests. The rapper reportedly told Solange to not use his name. Solange, upset by this, said she wanted to leave the event.
On the elevator, the source says Jay Z informed them that he’d be going to Up & Down, where Rihanna would be holding a Met Gala after-party, without Beyonce. Solange was upset by this, according to the report.
Solange “seemed drunk and irritated,” according to another source the newspaper cites. “She said, ‘Why can’t you go home?’ and to Beyonce ‘Why does your husband need to go to the club right now?'”
