Solange's Elevator Attack: Designer Claims He Knows Why
5 Dec
Summary
- Solange Knowles allegedly attacked Jay-Z in a 2014 elevator incident.
- A designer claims a compliment Jay-Z gave Rachel Roy sparked the fight.
- The designer's dress gained notoriety due to the widely publicized fight.
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.
