Okay, all of those fans of the Knowles sisters who were worrying about the situation between Beyoncé and Solange can breathe a sigh of relief. Bey has taken to her Instagram account to post a series of cute images of herself with Solange, shutting down all of those nasty rumours that the elevator incident between Solange and Jay Z has caused a rift in the family.
The pictures (including the one above) have been added amidst speculation about what may have caused Solange’s violent behaviour– especially after images of Beyoncé were deleted from Solange’s own Instagram.
Today reports surfaced that Solange was drunk when she attacked Jay Z and had been dealing with personal and career issues in the time before the incident.
The 29-year-old star, who is the younger sister of Jay’s superstar wife Beyoncé, had been dealing with problems in both her career and personal life in the time leading up to her outburst in the lift.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: “Clearly she was on something at the party, she was drunk and out of it. She got in the elevator with Jay and Bey. He had made a comment that she didn’t like, and she just snapped.”
Another onlooker added: “She was the girl who drank too much and was behaving badly at the party.
Solange has reportedly been dealing with various issues of late, including her complicated music career.
It’s thought the star was either dropped by or left Jay’s Roc Nation record label – which managed her DJing career – last year, and she has since launched her own company, Saint Records, which has been a strain on her.
An insider explained: “She used to be on [Jay Z’s] label, but now she isn’t. And she moved to New Orleans from Brooklyn with her son. Solange still spends a lot of time in New York, but she is further away from her family, which has created some issues.”
