"Saturday Night Live" had their fun with Solange Knowles' attack on Jay Z in the leaked elevator security during the May 17 opening monologue.
Jay Pharoah and Sasheer Zamata played Jay Z and Solange while Kenan Thompson played their bodyguard. Pharoah and Zamata dubbed over the elevator footage to reveal what "actually happened" during the fight. Apparently Solange was protecting her brother-in-law from a spider.
"Saturday Night Live" alum Maya Rudolph joined the cast to play Beyoncé, and sang versus in from her hit single to make her point about the incident. You can check out the SNL spoof in the video below.
However, the Knowles-Carter family did release a statement regarding the now infamous elevator ride to the Associated Press:
"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."
