A possible reason for the Solange Knowles and Jay Z altercation has emerged.

As we previously reported, Solange and Dame Dash's ex-wife Rachel Roy argued at the Boom Boom Room in New York City prior to Solange attacking Jay Z in an elevator at the Standard Hotel on Monday May 5.

The New York Daily News is now reporting that the incidents were connected.

Rachel Roy and Solange

According to the report, Rachel and Jay got too close at the Boom Boom Room, angering both Solange and her sister Beyonce.

“Rachel is a little too close to Jay Z,” a source told The News. “Solange doesn’t like it, and Beyoncé doesn’t like it.”

Solange told Roy that she wasn't going to let her sister be disrespected like that. Telling her that. “anyone who gets close to Jay has to be warned and deal with her as a sister.”

Jay and Beyonce stepped in before things got more heated. Hov reportedly told Solange that she was "out of line."

Fast forward to the Met Gala after party at the Standard Hotel later that evening. As the event winded down the Knowles sisters were ready to go home, but Jay decided he would go to Rihanna's after party at club Up & Down.

Solange believed that Roy would also be at Riri's party. That set her off and resulted in the attack on the Roc Nation CEO in the Standard Hotel's elevator.

The day after the fight video was released Dame posted a photo with Solange in it on his Instagram account. The caption seemed to be a not so subtle jab at Jay. It read: "Forgot about this one @ava_dash @atrak and solange ...I am actually impressed with her independent spirit... She seems like a fighter #festivallife."

In March 2009 Roy filed for divorce from Dash. In September of that same year Jay took a shot at his former Roc-A-Fella records business partner on the song "Thank You" with the line, "Lucky Lefty, kiss the wife goodnight for me."

Beanie Sigel addressed the diss during a 2009 interview on Power 99 with 50 Cent.

You took everything from him already. You took the clothing line. You took the record label. You took everything. He has nothing. Now he’s going through financial difficulties and gets divorced and then you feel that comfortable in a record to say, ‘Lucky Lefty, by the way kiss the wife good night for me.’ You already killed the man, he’s dead already. Now you gonna stand over top of him and urinate on him and stomp him.

Days before TMZ released the fight footage Beyonce posted a prayer on her Instagram account asking God for help in making the right choices.

What are your thoughts on all of this?

The person who recorded, then leaked footage of Solange Knowles attacking her brother-in-law Jay Z has been fired from their job.

The Associated Press reports that the Standard Hotel in New York City terminated the employee on Wednesday, May 14, for "breaching the security polices of the hotel and recording the confidential CCTV video."

Hotel reps say they were  "shocked and disappointed" by the security breach. They plan to turn over "all available information to criminal authorities."

The elevator fight has been seen by millions since TMZ first aired it on Monday, May 12. The website reportedly paid $250,000 for the footage, according to Page Six.

1-year-old Musa Dayib survived an 11-story fall

Video After The Jump

In what can only be described as a miracle, a one-year old baby survived an eleven-story fall from a Minneapolis high rise.

Musa Dayib is currently in critical but stable condition at Hennepin County Medical Center. He has a fractured back, two broken arms, bruised lungs and is breathing with the help of a machine.

Dr. Tina Slusher told KARE that no adult could have survived the fall. Musa was lucky to have landed on a patch of mulch, but the fact that kids are so flexible also helped.

Dr. Tina Slusher

"It's definitely a miracle. It's God's gift to his family," Slusher said. "Kids don't fall this far and make it very often. Especially without a serious brain injury. Little tykes are more flexible and don't break as easily as we do and he also fell in a very small patch of mulch. You or I would've been dead."

The Minneapolis Department of Code Enforcement says the Riverside Plaza balconies are up to code, however Musa's family want something done to prevent something like this from happening again.

"I don't think my brother and his wife will recover from this. They really torture themselves," said Abdirahim Ahmed, Musa's uncle. "We cannot argue about what happened. What happened is what happened? How can we protect the kids that stay in here? Something gotta be done. Something gotta be done."

The paps continued to try to irritate Lamar by telling him: "Go in there and get Khloe back."

SOMA, Turkey (Associated Press) — The death toll in the coal mine explosion and fire in western Turkey increased to 232 on Wednesday, the prime minister said. The fate of around 190 miners remained unclear in one of Turkey's worst mining disasters.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan made the announcement Wednesday during a visit to the coal mine in Soma, about 250 kilometers (155 miles) south of Istanbul.

Earlier, Erdogan declared three days of national mourning, ordering flags to be lowered to half-staff. Erdogan postponed a one-day visit to Albania and visited Soma instead.

The explosion tore through the mine as workers were preparing for a shift change, officials said, which likely raised the casualty toll because there were more miners inside the mine than usual.

Mining accidents are common in Turkey, which is plagued by poor safety conditions. Turkey's worst mining disaster was a 1992 gas explosion that killed 263 workers near the Black Sea port of Zonguldak.

In Istanbul, hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the headquarters of the company which owns the mine, Soma Holding.

Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said 787 people were inside the coal mine in Soma at the time of the explosion and 363 of them had been rescued so far.

"Regarding the rescue operation, I can say that our hopes are diminishing," Yildiz said.

Turkey's Labor and Social Security Ministry said the mine had been inspected five times since 2012, including in March of 2014, and that no issues violating work safety and security were detected.

The country's main opposition party said that Erdogan's ruling party had recently voted down a proposal for the establishment of a parliamentary inquiry into a series of small scale accidents at mines around Soma.

Apparently the elevator scrap between Solange and Jay Z didn't do irreparable damage to their relationship because the two were out shopping for jewelry together on Tuesday, May 13.

TMZ reports the two visited the high end jewelry shop Mr. Flawless in New York City. The store's owner Greg Yuna personally assisted them while they browsed. Solange and her brother-in-law left after 20 minutes without purchasing anything.

This morning Beyonce showed support for her sister by sharing four photos with her.

We're proud to present sexy model Aimee Ovalles. Check out her bio and great photos. We're sure you will enjoy.

Bio:

1. Where are you from? Family background? City? Borough?

Aimee : My earlier years as a child I lived in Israel. Which makes me a dual citizen: Israeli and American. My parents are from the Dominican Republic hence my Spanish features. We've lived in the Bronx, New York for a majority of time. Other times in Harlem. We moved a lot.

2. How long have you been in the game? What are some of the challenges you've faced?

Aimee :  I'd say about 2 years now. It was shortly after moving back to the US from Poland. I didn't like my options work wise when I got my degree and a 9-5 as a legal aid was not my dream. Acting is. I started taking classes during the day and auditioning. I needed to handle my finances so bartending at night kept my head above water. Then I started meeting people who came after me for shoots. It's been a ride ever since. Challenges...at first my challenges were auditioning and getting the parts but the projects have not taken off due to finances or others being phonies. I then dedicated myself to be able to book editorials and ad campaigns so I recently dropped 30 pounds and worked my body into its best healthy and physical manner and now the actual challenge begins. Getting the work from these big brands. I'm aiming for fitness ads.

3. What are some of your more notable gigs? Any projects your working on now?

Aimee :  My interviews with celebrities on the red carpet for the premiere of Glam Fairy on the style network. They're available on YouTube. Other gigs are walking several fashion shows for designers for fashion week. A music video. My present work are coming soon so I'd rather show you then tell you. Presently I teach belly dance classes in New York and New Jersey.
