How tiff with Jay Z in the elevator helped Solange Knowles' career

London: Singer Solange Knowles saw a boost in her sales in the US following her notorious elevator fight with brother-in-law Jay Z. Earlier this month, surveillance footage appeared to show the R&B singer lashing out at the rapper as she left a party at The Standard Hotel following New York’s Met Gala with her sister Beyonce and her hip-hop mogul husband, reported Contactmusic.
