VIDEO: Jay Z PHYSICALLY ATTACKED by Beyonce's Sister Solange

MOBILE VIDEO DOWNLOAD 

On Monday morning, TMZ posted one of their most shocking video exclusives to date: A minute-long confrontation between Solange Knowles and her brother-in-law, Jay Z, in an elevator at New York City's Standard Hotel.

The fight, which went down sometime after last week's star-studded Met Gala, appears pretty one-sided: Solange swipes and kicks at Jay Z as a bodyguard struggles to hold her back. Jay Z is never shown hitting back, although he does at one point grab Solange's foot. Beyoncé, meanwhile, seems strikingly calm through the whole ordeal, at one point pausing to adjust the train on her Givenchy gown.

It's completely nuts.

Nigerian Govt Has Pictures and Identities Of Abducted Chibok Girls; I Dare The Govt To Disown My List

When he released the list of abducted Chibok girls last week, Evangelist Matthew Owojaiye, caused more than a stir. The Kaduna-based founder of Food for the Total Man Ministry spoke with newsmen on why he released the list and the insurgency challenges in the north. Sunday Oguntola was there. Excerpts:

Last Sunday, you jolted the nation by releasing names of some of the abducted girls. Let’s start by asking you why?

Actually some people are even saying nobody was abducted, as if the story was cooked up. Can you imagine that? If your daughter was abducted and there is no trace three weeks after, how will you feel? Then someone comes to say there was no abduction. And that it was only from one local government that the girls on the list came from, just Chibok local government. That is where the school is located. Other people from other places sent their children to the school. We couldn’t get their names because we had no way to.

Is that why you had only 180 names of the kidnapped girls on the list?

Still on the same interview aired yesterday, the Nobel Laurette said, “This is a government which is not only in denial mentally, but in denial about certain obvious steps to take.” He went further to state that ““It’s one of those rather child-like situations that if you shut your eyes, if you don’t exhibit the tactile evidence of the missing humanity here, that somehow the problem will go away.” The professor also said that Nigeria’s president Jonathan and his advisers are in denial about the issue.
