Back in 2014, surveillance footage showed Beyoncé’s younger sister, Solange, appearing to get into a physical altercation with Jay-Z in an elevator at a Met Gala after-party.

Footage from the elevator showed what appeared to be Solange attacking her brother-in-law while Beyoncé stood idly by.

No one knew exactly what provoked the incident, but fans speculated that it may have had something to do with Jay-Z’s suspected infidelity at the time. 

In a statement to Associated Press later shared by CNN, the family said there has been a lot of speculation about what happened and why but “the most important thing is that our family has worked through it.” 

The statement continued to say Jay-Z and Solange “both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.”
