Solange Knowles has voiced deep concerns about the impact Jay-Z’s ongoing legal troubles may have on her sister Beyoncé’s career and wellbeing. According to DailyMail.com, the rap mogul, whose real name is Shawn Carter, is accused of sexually assaulting a woman when she was 13. Despite the backlash, Beyoncé has publicly supported her husband, stating she “1,000 percent believes” his denials.
The allegations, which stem from a 2000 MTV Music Awards afterparty, have reignited tensions within the family. A source close to Solange told DailyMail.com that she has long expressed reservations about Jay-Z, citing his past infidelity. This unease famously culminated in the 2014 Met Gala elevator incident, where Solange confronted Jay-Z. The insider revealed that Solange had warned Beyoncé years ago about potential challenges and now fears the lawsuit could cause lasting damage to her sister’s career and reputation.
According to the report, Beyoncé is heartbroken by the situation, particularly as the accuser’s age at the time of the alleged incident mirrors that of her 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy. However, she remains committed to standing by her husband, accepting that her role is to provide emotional support as the legal process continues.
Jay-Z’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, has argued for the case’s dismissal, citing expired deadlines and jurisdictional issues. Nevertheless, a judge recently granted anonymity to the accuser, allowing the case to proceed, as reported by DailyMail.com.
Insiders told the outlet that Beyoncé hopes for a swift resolution to the case so her family can move forward. Solange, however, remains concerned that Beyoncé’s continued support for Jay-Z could have long-term consequences. Both sisters appear united in their desire to protect their family, even as they navigate this challenging time.
