Beyoncé has finally broken her silence on that elevator incident – the one that saw her sister, Solange, attack Jay Z, sparking rumours that the Carters’ marriage is in trouble– and instead of a bland media statement she’s chosen to do it in song. Because she’s Beyoncé.
In a newly released remix of the song that spawned thousands of selfies with the caption ‘woke up like this’, Bey is joined by Nicki Minaj to deliver serious vocal talent and lyrics to match. However, the song still offers no actual explanation for what happened that night – the most she’s telling us is that it was inevitable that there’d be some kind of controversy when ‘it’s a billion dollars on the elevator.’
