"Has the mystery of Solange Knowles\u2019 elevator attack on Jay Z finally been solved? One newspaper now has a theory of the case.\nCiting two anonymous sources, the New York Daily News reported Tuesday that the haymakers heard \u2018round the world came after Jay Z snapped at his sister-in-law because her non-famous friends were name-dropping the hip-hop mogul in an attempt to crash the Met Gala on May 5 \u2014 despite the fact that they were neither invited to nor dressed for the star-studded event at the Standard Hotel in New York City.\nSEE ALSO: Ring the Alarm: The 5 Most Popular Beyonce Conspiracy Theories\nThat touched off tensions that boiled over in the hotel elevator when Jay Z insisted he would attend Rihanna\u2019s after-party a few blocks away \u2014 without his wife Beyonc\u00E9 or sister-in-law Solange.\nPublicists for Beyonc\u00E9 and Jay Z did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Mashable; Solange does not have a publicist, but her agent at ICM Partners also did not immediately respond to messages left Tuesday.\nThe spat began when Solange\u2019s friends reportedly told security that they were Jay Z's guests, at which point Jay Z \"snapped at Solange, saying, 'don't use my name,'\" the Daily News reported.\u00A0As they were leaving the Standard Hotel, Jay Z said he was heading to Rihanna\u2019s post-bash bash, and that's when things got physical. According to the newspaper:\n\nJay's camp had called ahead of time to say he would be coming alone and \"didn't need extra security\" because Beyonc\u00E9 wouldn't be attending, the source said.\u00A0Apparently, that didn't sit well with Solange.\n\"She seemed drunk and irritated,\" said a second source. \"She said, \u2018Why can't you go home?' and to Beyonc\u00E9 'Why does your husband need to go to the club right now?'\"\nAn incensed Jay Z didn\u2019t back down. \u201CYou're one to talk,\" he replied, the source said.\n\nThose were fighting words. Solange then started attacking Jay Z once the elevator doors closed, which security cameras caught on video that was obtained by TMZ and published Monday.\n\nHave something to add to this story?
