Solange's Elevator Attack: Designer Claims He Knows Why

Over a decade after Solange Knowles physically confronted Jay-Z in an elevator following a 2014 Met Gala afterparty, a new theory about the cause has surfaced. Fashion designer Oscar G. Lopez, who created the dress worn by Rachel Roy that evening, stated that Jay-Z's compliment to Roy about her gown allegedly upset Solange.

Lopez suggests that Solange perceived Jay-Z's interaction with Rachel Roy as improper, which precipitated the infamous elevator incident. This account, shared recently, reignites speculation surrounding Jay-Z's alleged affair with Roy, especially given Beyoncé's subsequent album "Lemonade" which alluded to infidelity. Though Jay-Z and Solange have publicly stated they have reconciled and moved past the situation, the exact catalyst has remained a subject of intense interest.

Interestingly, Lopez also revealed that the intense media coverage following the elevator fight significantly boosted the visibility of the dress he designed. He referred to the situation as "collateral damage" that ultimately benefited his business. While Lopez has offered this explanation, he remains reticent on the exact nature of Rachel Roy's past relationship with Jay-Z, leaving some lingering questions about the full story.
