Perhaps besides Solange Knowles, Jay Z and Beyonce no one will be privy to what actually sparked Solange’s attack on brother-in-law Jay Z at the Met Gala after-party.

Jay Z, Beyonce and sister Solange Knowles were the picture of elegance as they walked the red carpet at the Met Ball on May 5.

But just a few hours later, it was a totally a different story, as Solange lost her cool in a bizarre elevator attack.

We bring few inside details about what happened inside the exclusive bash and how their night took a wild turn.

UsWeekly reports that the singer first lost her temper with fashion designer Rachel Roy, a close friend of Kim Kardashian.

The publication claims that Solange 'yelled' at Rachel - who recently attended Kim's baby shower.

It was also reported that Solange was seen arguing with a number of other people at the bash.

Rachel is considered to be one of Kim Kardashian's closest confidantes and was even invited to Kanye's proposal to Kim last year.

RadarOnline.com also reports that Jay and Beyonce were spotted deep in conversation at a secluded table in a deserted corner of the crowded room.

Beyonce stuck by her sister’s side for most of the party. Solange alsong with Beyonce posed for an especially spirited pic with Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o.

Though she was not caught drinking, Solange seemed a little worse for the wear before leaving.

When the trio decided to leave the party, Solange was caught on camera kicking and punching violently at Jay Z inside the elevator.

The clip shows a man tries to hold her back, but the 27-year-old still manages to throw few blows on Jay Z.

The man then pushed the emergency stop button in the elevator at the 12th floor, hoping to stop the fight from spilling out in front of photographers waiting outside.

Beyonce seems sanguine throughout, and appears to be trying to calm her sister down.. . at one point she pragmatically removes the long train of her Givenchy Haute Couture dress from the fray.

Jay Z's shocked appearance and hand to face as Solange marches angrily ahead after leaving the elevator were captured on film, however.

This is just the latest erratic behavior from the DJ and singer Solange, who abruptly cancelled her European tour last summer amid rumors of drug use.

Beyonce’s sister has been an admitted drug user for years.

In 2008, she wrote an ode to marijuana called “Champagne Chronic Nightcap,” and confirmed to the press that it was about lighting up. “I am unapologetic,” she wrote. “I don’t write about things unless they’re true!”

Just a few months ago, she continued the drug talk during an interview on Hot 97, telling host Angie Martinez that her new album was “a new-age women’s Mary Jane record,” insisting, “We endorse [weed].”

Even after the vicious attack on Jay Z it seemed all is well between the two sisters.

They were pictured leaving in a car together without Jay Z.

It has emerged that, Beyoncé and her sister made a getaway to Costa Rica, according to E! where they joined Kelly Rowland for her secret wedding.

UsWeekly report that Kelly's wedding was a 'quick, simple ceremony - only around 30 people,' that took place on Friday according to their source.
