Rachel Roy ‘publicly argued with Solange’ before singer attacks Jay Z

Soon after security footage emerged showing Jay Z being attacked in front of Beyonce by her sister, it has now been claimed that Solange had a furious row with Kim Kardashian’s best friend on the same night of the prestigious Met Gala.
Now UsWeekly report that the singer first lost her temper with fashion designer Rachel Roy, a close friend of Kim Kardashian.

The publication claims that Solange ‘‘yelled’’ at Rachel, who recently attended Kim’s baby shower on the night of the Met Gala after-party, when Solange was seen attacking her sister’s husband Jay Z.

A source tells UsWeekly that Beyonce had got in the middle of an argument between the pair, although it is unclear what it had stemmed from.

It was also reported that Solange was seen arguing with a number of other people at the bash.

Rachel is considered to be one of Kim Kardashian’s closest confidantes and was even invited to Kanye’s proposal to Kim last year.

Then, Solange can be clearly be seen kicking and swinging violently at Jay Z, the father of her two-year-old niece, Blue Ivy, after the trio step into the elevator.

The clip shows a man who appears to be a bodyguard holding her back, but the 27-year-old still manages to rain blows on Jay Z several times.

The bodyguard can also be seen pushing the emergency stop button in the elevator at the 12th floor, no doubt to stop the fight spilling out in front of photographers.

During the frenzied altercation, Jay Z grabs Solange’s stiletto clad foot to block a kick but never attempts to retaliate.

Beyonce seems sanguine throughout, and appears to be trying to calm her sister down . . . at one point she pragmatically removes the long train of her Givenchy Haute Couture dress from the fray.

Jay Z’s shocked appearance and hand to face as Solange marches angrily ahead after leaving the elevator were captured on film, however.

Beyonce tried to muster a showbiz smile as the threesome left but then tellingly departed with her sister in a car while her husband left separately.

While there has been no detail emerging on what Rachel and Solange were disputing, Kim has had her fair share of reported feuds with Solange’s sister Beyonce.

Solange accompanied designer Rachel to the 2012 Met Gala, and Rachel’s ex-husband Damon Dash has endured a long-running feud with Jay Z, his former business partner.

It’s not yet known what provoked the fight, however, the famous couple looked as happy as ever as they attended another Brooklyn Nets game on Saturday while Solange played a gig in New York. Beyonce and Jay Z surprisingly were not keeping a low profile after news of the fight, which took place last week, broke on Monday. Rather tellingly, Jay Z had his arms affectionately around Solange’s nine-year-old son, who is known as Juelz, as the family sat courtside.

According to Radar, Jay Z and Beyonce seemed distant as they arrived at the Standard Hotel’s Boom Boom Room, a far cry from the adorable show they made of a schmaltzy proposal on the red carpet earlier at the Vogue party.

Beyonce had dropped a ring and her husband was quick to hit the deck and retrieve it, before recreating the moment he asked her to become his wife.

That was a typically envy-inducing show of togetherness, like Mr and Mrs Carter’s performance at this year’s Grammy Awards.

At the Standard, away from prying eyes, the couple sat at a table together deep in conversation before Beyonce peeled away to party with her sister and stars like Lupita Nyong’o.

According to Us Magazine, the trio seemed fine together, although Jay Z sat by a firepit while Beyonce and Solange clad in her peach Phillip Lim dress danced with Naomi Campbell.

They did, however, leave ‘‘abruptly’’ the magazine reports. Both women seemed merry but weren’t pictured holding alcohol.

Solange has admitted to issues with drugs in the past, and cancelled her European tour last year amidst rumours of usage according to Radar Online.

In February, 2009, she tweeted about ending up in the hospital after a Nyquil overdose. ‘‘I don’t even smoke weed that often, but I’m finding I can’t remember things,’’ she revealed on Twitter on September 1 the same year.

Solange and the music mogul have been close for over a decade, with Jay Z real name Shawn Carter taking a big brother style role to the fledgling star after he started dating her sister

Always in Beyonce’s shadow despite her own immense talent, Solange had a few stints in Destiny’s Child, before signing with her father’s Mathew’s Music World Entertainment label; he and the girls’ mother Tina had quit their jobs to focus on their eldest child’s career. But it paid off for Solange initially, too, as her first studio album Solo Star  released when she was just 16 in 2003  was a quiet success.

A few days later, the sisters apparently made a getaway to Costa Rica, where they apparently joined Kelly Rowland for her secret wedding.

According to US Weekly, Kelly’s wedding took place on Friday and was a ‘‘quick, simple ceremony only around 30 people’’. — Daily Mail.
