It seems Solange was ill-tempered that night and just aching for a fight

Jay Z might now have been at fault for the righteous whooping he received in the elevator of the Standard Hotel in NYC, but the fact is Solange was in a vengeful mood on the night the Met Gala took place.

Us Weekly reports that people attending the gala saw Solange picking on several others before deciding to give Jay Z a taste of the back of her hand and even a foot, if we're to take another look at the leaked video.

The gala took place last Monday, on May 5, and sources claim that Beyonce's younger sister verbally abused designer Rachel Roy earlier during the event held at the Boom Boom Room at the Standard Hotel.

The sources also point out that Beyonce tried to break up the argument and “got in the middle of it.” It's not known yet what the argument was about, but then again, we still don't know why Solange picked a fight with Jay Z either. We guess it was just one of those days for her when she should have stayed in bed.

Rachel Roy was in a group of people at the Met Ball when she was approached by Solange, who had something on her mind and began verbally attacking the entire group, but witnesses made it clear that Rachel was the one she was mad at.

It must be mentioned that just two years ago, Rachel and Solange went to the exact same party, the Met Ball, together, seemingly as the best of friends, which makes this recent attack by Solange even weirder.

Other sources claim that the Knowles sisters seemed to be having a pretty good time earlier that night, and they were spotted getting it on the dance floor, where they were accompanied by Naomi Campbell, while Jay Z was said to have stayed back “at one of the fireplace areas.”

No one knows what happened in the meantime, but it was soon noted that the trio abruptly left, with no sign of drama whatsoever. All that would end as soon as they would get into the elevator, as the leaked video can now reveal, but we still don't know the motive.

The best speculation that we have at this point is that Solange overreacted at something Jay may have said. “Solange flipped out over something Jay had said, that she took the wrong way. She took it too hard or too far. Not sure what it was, but she greatly overreacted,” said one source.
