Video After The Jump
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.

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.
