In an interview with the Daily Mail<\/a> published Thursday, December 4, 52-year-old Lopez said he believes Jay-Z \u201ccomplimented\u201d Roy, now 51, on the gown she was wearing (which Lopez designed).<\/p>\n \u201cBeyonc\u00e9\u2019s sister felt that it was not proper,\u201d Lopez claimed, \u201cso it was a kind of a drama there, and the dress was all over the news.\u201d<\/p>\n Black-and-white surveillance footage taken in an elevator at the The Standard High Line hotel in New York City showed the Solo Star artist, 39, yelling at her brother-in-law before appearing to hit and kick him. The Cowboy Carter musician<\/a>, 44, seemingly got in between them to stop the fight.<\/p>\n Following the May 5 incident, TMZ<\/a> released the footage days later on May 12, and the video took the internet by storm.<\/p>\n Calling the alleged reason behind the blowup \u201cso silly,\u201d Lopez pointed out that Roy was once married to Damon Dash, who co-founded Roc-A-Fella Records with Jay-Z.<\/p>\n Still, when it came to the dress that he designed for Roy, Lopez said that \u201cany press is good press<\/a>,\u201d adding: \u201cSometimes you benefit from a scandal, not even being part of it in a very direct way. Let\u2019s just call it a collateral damage. It was meant to be.\u201d<\/p>\n mely \/ MEGA<\/p>\n On May 15, 2014, Beyonc\u00e9, Jay-Z and Solange released a joint statement addressing the scandal<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cAs a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there 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,\u201d they told the Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cJay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred,\u201d the statement continued. \u201cThey 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.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false,\u201d they added. \u201cAt the end of the day, families have problems, and we\u2019re no different. We love each other, and above all, we are family. We\u2019ve put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n None of the parties involved have ever confirmed the real reason<\/a> behind what happened.<\/p>\n This story Jay-Z and Solange Knowles\u2019 Infamous Elevator Fight Began Because of This Comment, Designer Claims<\/a> first appeared on Star<\/a>.
