Rapper Jay Z has opened up about that now infamous fight with wife Beyonce's sister, Solange Knowles, at a 2014 Met Gala party.
But instead of addressing the incident directly, the rapper said the two had a rare disagreement and haven't fought since, reported ABC News.
"We've always had a great relationship," he said during an interview with Rap Radar hosts Elliott Wilson and Brian Miller, posted to Jay Z's streaming service, Tidal.
"We've had one disagreement. Before and after, we've been cool. That's my sister. Not my sister-in-law, no, my sister. Period," the 47-year-old music star said.
Solange, 31, was seen in a video allegedly punching and kicking Jay Z in an elevator at the 2014 party, while a bodyguard tried to restrain her.
Beyonce, who was also seen in the 58-second clip, eventually stepped in between the two.
"I think we went into the elevator as great artists. I've always loved Solange's music; I thought she was slept on until this last album ('A Seat at the Table'.) I think Bey made an incredible album before, a hundred of them."
Beyonce, addressed the incident three months afterward in a song -- the remix to her hit, "Flawless."
"Of course, sometimes s--- go down when there's USD 1 billion on an elevator," she sang.
