"The plot thickens! New details continue to emerge about the apparent elevator fight between Solange Knowles and Jay Z on May 5, the night of the Metropolitan Museum of Art&amp;apos;s Costume Institute Gala in New York City. As previously reported, the &amp;quot;Losing You&amp;quot; singer, 27, had been fired up earlier in the evening and was seen yelling at designer Rachel Roy and her table companions during a Met Gala after-party at the Standard Hotel&amp;apos;s Boom Boom Room. The reason for her outburst is unclear&amp;#x2014;but an insider tells Us Weekly she mentioned her brother-in-law during the frenzy.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Solange was yelling that anyone who gets close to Jay has to be warned and deal with her as a sister,&amp;quot; the source says of Beyonce&amp;apos;s younger sibling.\r\n\r\nThings escalated from there. A second insider says Bey and Jay tried to get Solange to leave, which sparked the now-infamous elevator melee. &amp;quot;Jay said something small to her along the lines of, &amp;apos;You are out of line,&amp;apos;&amp;quot; the second source tells Us. &amp;quot;Solange was being a loudmouth and snapped at Jay trying to calm her down and get her out of there.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe insider notes &amp;quot;there were a few other things&amp;quot; said, too, but insists it &amp;quot;isn&amp;apos;t the big deal people are making it into.&amp;quot; The source adds, &amp;quot;Honestly, the whole fight was over something so small and stupid.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAs for Beyonce&amp;apos;s role in the fracas? &amp;quot;Bey was just trying to keep the peace and get Solange home, which is why she went with Solange in the car,&amp;quot; the insider says. (As seen in video of the trio exiting the Standard, Bey and her sister got into one car, while Jay Z was escorted to a separate SUV.)\r\n&amp;quot;Both Bey and Jay were trying to handle the situation,&amp;quot; the source tells Us. &amp;quot;Solange has been that way before, and Jay and Bey just wanted to get her out of there and home before she really caused a ruckus.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
