Mathew Knowles, the father of Beyonc and Solange , told talk show host Wendy Williams last week that he laughed so hard when he first saw the video of that infamous elevator fight between Solange and Jay-Z .
Knowles, who was on The Wendy Williams Show to promote his new book, was responding to Williams inquiries about the 2014 fight.
I laughed so hard because if you know Solange, thats Solange, he said. You never know what youre gonna get [shes] a firecracker. Dont know where she gets that from.
TMZ leaked the 58-second clip in May 2014. It showed Solange hitting and kicking Jay-Z while Beyonc looked on. The three were leaving a party at The Standard hotel in New York after the Met Gala.
Beyonc would be in the corner, quiet, just kinda like, When yall finish, let me know, Knowles told Williams, laughing with the audience. So I just laughed.
While many in the audience found Knowles story funny, instances of physical assault or violence are no laughing matter.
