Beyonce Knowles Addresses Elevator Fight In New Remix With Nicki Minaj
Posted on Sun Aug 3rd, 2014 12:25pm PDT By X17 Staff
Last night Nicki Minaj and Beyonce released a remix of Beyonce's track "Flawless," and in it the R&B diva spits out some song lyrics about the infamous elevator fight that occurred last May between her hubby Jay Z and sister Solange.
"We escalate, up in this b*tch like elevators … Of course sometimes sh*t goes down when it's a billion dollars on an elevator," Bey raps. She later repeats the lyric, adding a "cha-ching" sound afterwards. Seeing as Bey and Jay's combined net worth is estimated to be a billion dollars, that's clearly what she's referencing, but she also adds in a line about Sol as well and sings, "My sister taught me how to speak my mind ... my man make me feel so god damn fine."
After the Met Gala on May 5, Solange viciously attacked Jay Z in an elevator at the Standard hotel while he was standing right next to Beyonce, and a week later the security footage leaked online. A week or so after that, the family released a statement which read, "[T]here 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."
If Beyonce is making light of it in a song, things must be fine! Right?
