Jay Z‘s 100th problem, or perhaps just one of his existing 99, seems to be his sister-in-law Solange. The two were caught on surveillance footage from an elevator leaked to TMZ.com. Jay Z, Solange, and Beyoncé were all attending a Met Gala after-party at the Standard Hotel in NYC.
In the video, Beyoncé‘s sister is seen repeatedly punching and kicking the rapper until she’s ultimately restrained by a bodyguard.
Naturally, this rare glimpse into Beyoncé’s extremely private life has exploded all over the internet (like everything she does, from releasing a surprise album to temporarily becoming a vegan). Instantly, Twitter’s top trending topics included ‘Jay Z and Solange,’ #WhatJayZSaidToSolange, as well as many wondering where Beyoncé was in this brawl and what caused it. The result was easily one of the most entertaining things to watch unfold.
Below are some of our favorite reactions:
1. Those who took aim at Solange’s career:
How nobody used “Solange gets her first hit” in a headline yet is mind boggling.
