The only people who know why Solange attacked Jay Z on Monday night is
Solange, Jay Z, Julius the bodyguard and Beyonce. Others who claim to be
insiders can assume what they want, but until the parties involved
speak or we get the audio to what was said in that elevator, we will
never know.
NY Daily news is claiming the reason real reason Solange attacked Jay Z is because he planned to go to Rihanna's Met
Gala after party without Beyonce. (makes no sense to me). Report below

The dispute that prompted Beyoncé’s sister to attack Jay Z at a
Manhattan hotel centered on the rapper’s wish to keep the party going at
a shindig hosted by RiRi, the Daily News has learned.
Tensions were already running high when Jay Z — while walking to the
now-infamous Standard Hotel elevator — said he was going to the Rihanna
bash rather than heading home with Beyoncé.
“Why can’t you go home?” a drunken Solange Knowles said to her
brother-in-law as they left the swanky May 5 Met Gala after-party, a
source told The News.
Then the 27-year-old singer turned to her 32-year-old big sis Beyoncé.
“Why does your husband need to go to the club right now?” Solange asked, according to the source.
An incensed Jay Z took offense to Solange getting involved in his business.
You’re one to talk,” he shot back at Solange, the source said.
Jay Z’s sharp reply sent Solange into a violent rage. She attacked Jay Z
with a series of furious kicks and punches in a three-minute outburst
that was caught on surveillance video and leaked Monday.
The bad vibes between Jay Z and Solange started 15 minutes earlier when
a group of Solange’s nonfamous friends from Brooklyn showed up
uninvited at the star-studded soiree, a source told The News.
“Two of her friends, who were not dressed for the Met ball, showed up
at the Standard and caused a scene downstairs,” the source said.
“They wouldn’t leave and kept name-dropping Jay Z. They were pretending
they were guests of his and not hers. Management went to Julius
(Beyoncé’s bodyguard) and said there’s a problem.”
A source said Jay Z got wind of it and snapped at Solange — saying “don’t use my name.”
Solange said she wanted to leave the party. Jay Z agreed to go but said
he was going to head to Up & Down on W. 14th St., where Rihanna was
holding her own post-Met Gala bash, a second source said.
Jay’s camp had called ahead of time to say he would be coming alone and
“didn’t need extra security” because Beyoncé wouldn’t be attending, the
source said.
That apparently didn’t sit well with Solange, who “appeared drunk and
irritated” and flipped out on Jay Z as soon as the elevator doors
closed, a source said.
Jay Z — who didn’t raise a hand to Solange as she fired off punches and
kicks before getting restrained by a bodyguard — ultimately decided
against heading to the Rihanna party.
Reps for Beyoncé, Jay Z and Solange did not return requests for comment.
