Solange Knowles kicks, punches, claws Jay Z at Met Gala after-party - New York Daily News

It's a showdown with the in-laws.

Jay Z and his sister-in-law, Solange Knowles, had an altercation at a Met Gala after party and it was caught on tape, reports TMZ.

It all went down in an elevator where the 27-year-old sister of Beyonce can be seen clawing and kicking at her brother-in-law as the "Halo" singer looks on.

It's unclear what caused the argument as there is no sound on the black and white surveillance video.

As they walked into the elevator where Beyonce already stood, Solange appeared to immediately begin screaming and pointing in the "Holy Grail" rapper's face.

They were at the Boom Boom Room at the Standard Hotel in New York City.

While it seems he had some words of his own, when Solange began attacking him, Jay Z looked like he was trying to hold her arms down as another unknown man, presumably a bodyguard, held her back.

They were reportedly at the Boom Boom Room at the Standard Hotel in New York City and it appears the bodyguard attempted to keep the altercation private by pressing the emergency stop button on the 12th floor reportedly.

Beyonce initially remained calm and leaned against the elevator wall. She finally appeared to say something to Solange after she broke free and approached Jay Z again, kicking and punching.

Jay Z and Beyonce were all smiles on May 10 at the Miami Heat vs. Brooklyn Nets game at the Barclays in Brooklyn days after he had an altercation with her sister, Solange, at a Met Gala after-party on May 5. In April, Solange joined Beyonce on stage at the Coachella Music Festival. 

Solange walked ahead of the couple as they exited the elevator and did not look happy. Jay Z strolled behind his wife, who surprisingly seemed to be grinning.

Reps for Beyonce, Jay Z and Solange have yet to respond to the Daily News' request for comment.
