The internet rumour mill has gone into overdrive over the past couple of weeks following the release of surveillance footage of Beyonce's younger sister Solange attacking Jay Z in a hotel lift.
Taking place at a Met Gala after-party, the footage showed Solange kicking and punching her brother-in-law as Beyonce looked passively on. She was restrained by a bodyguard.
No specific reason behind the incident has been given, but the three have now released a statement through the Associated Press.

It reads:

As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it.

Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.
