Jay-Z, Solange, and Beyonce break their silence; Was the elevator fight all a "publicity stunt" to increase ticket sales for 'On The Run Tour?'

We will probably never know the full story that led singer Solange Knowles to attack her brother-in-law, Jay-Z in an elevator at the Standard Hotel in NYC on May, 5 after attending a Met Gala afterparty--but what we do know is that the Carter-Knowles family have finally released a statement explaining that all "families have problems."

The family released in a statement to the Associated Press--the statements says:

"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. 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 apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family."

"The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior 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."

The statement does reflect a family going through a rough patch, but fans and the world seem to speculate different. Some think that the whole fight was planned to boost ticket sales for the upcoming "On The Run" summer tour that the couple, Jay-Z and Beyonce will kick off in June.

One source has revealed that Solange was upset with Jay-Z because he would not allow his little sister-in-law to perform on the upcoming tour.

According to Radar Online the source says, "Solange had been upset with Jay Z "for weeks" because the music mogul, 44, wouldn't allow her to perform on his upcoming "On The Run" tour with wife Beyonce."

"Solange had expected to be named the opening act for Beyonce and Jay."

"She always travels with Beyonce when she tours. Even though she hasn't released new music since 2012, she thought it would just be a given."

No matter what caused the fight some people think that this may be the end for Jay-Z and Beyonce.

The gossip site reveals that Beyonce is in the process of removing her meaningful "IV" ring finger tattoo because her relationship with Jay Z isn't as peachy as it appears.

"To the public, Beyonce and Jay Z appear to have it all. But behind close doors, they're not as happy as people think they are," the source said.

"Jay's been telling his friends that Beyonce is getting her ring tattoo removed, the one they got when they were married. He just sorta shrugs it off though saying 'Nothing is forever.'"

MStars wants to know what you think--does the statement put the rumors to bed or is this private story that looks perfect about to unfold?
