"Damon Dash is weighing in on Solange Knowles and Jay Z&amp;apos;s apparent elevator brawl. The 43-year-old entrepreneur, a former business partner of Jay&amp;apos;s, took to his Instagram on May 12 and called Beyonce&amp;apos;s sister a &amp;quot;fighter.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\nDash, who founded Roc-a-Fella Records with Jay Z back in 1999 before the duo had a falling out, posted a picture of himself with Solange and the caption: &amp;quot;Forgot about this one @ava_dash @atrak and solange ...I am actually impressed with her independent spirit... She seems like a fighter #festivallife.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe mogul&amp;apos;s post came on the same day TMZ posted footage of Beyonce&amp;apos;s younger sister trying to kick and hit Jay Z in an elevator at a Met Gala after party at the Boom Boom Room in NYC.\r\n\r\nAlthough the exact reason Solange flew off the handle is yet to be determined, a source told Us Weekly the &amp;quot;Losing You&amp;quot; singer previously had an altercation with Dash&amp;apos;s ex-wife Rachel Roy earlier in the evening.\r\nThe source said that the 27-year-old had yelled at the designer earlier at the after party and during the disagreement Beyonce &amp;quot;got in the middle of it.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nDash married Roy in 2005; they divorced in 2009."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
