What’s Beef? Were These Celebrity Beefs Staged For Publicity?
Beyonce, Jay Z vs. Solange
It was a family affair turned family scuffle for Beyonce, Jay Z and Solange on an elevator one fateful night last year. Surveillance video footage of Solange repeatedly hitting and karate-kicking her brother-in-law immediately went viral. The trio remained silent about the incident, only commenting it was a family matter, but Matthew Knowles went on record to say it was all fake. “There’s a tour going on,” he explained. “So you have to sometimes ignite that tour, it’s called a Jedi mind trick. The Jedi mind trick fools you a lot of time.”
