Jay-Z and Beyonce have released a joint statement detailing that they have “worked through” this week’s lift drama with Beyonce’s sister Solange.

Jay-Z was seen being assaulted by Solange in a lift after the Met Gala after party in a video that was leaked to gossip website TMZ.

They have now finally broken their silence about the incident and have released a statement.

“As 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,” the statement read.

“The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behaviour throughout that evening are simply false.

“At the end of the day families have problems and we're no different. We love each other and above all we are family. We've put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same.

“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 apologised to each other and we have moved forward as a united family,”
