#Solange attacks jay z video tv#
There’s her falling out with former collaborator Dev Hynes, her awkward TV interview from 2008, the time she called out Beyoncé birth truthers (which could probably use its own Vox explainer) - and then, of course, there’s the greatest outburst of them all, bananagate. “My sister told me I should speak my mind,” Beyoncé sings on her feminist anthem “***Flawless.” When it comes to being outspoken, clearly Solange leads by example - BuzzFeed rounded up of all the other times Solange got really mad in public, on television or on the Internet. The most entertaining ones of all are simply fanfiction in the making: Did Jay Z spoil Game of Thrones for her? Others are less serious: Gawker’s Sam Biddle jokes that it’s just a Jimmy Kimmel prank. Some are practical suggestions: Jezebel wonders if Solange is just a “nasty drunk,” if Jay Z insulted her as a mother or if he cheated on Beyoncé. There’s no shortage of ideas regarding what could have made Solange blow up like that. Death and Taxes gets to the bottom of why so many people made fun of Vox’s explainer - it mostly boils down to the belief that Solange-related drama really isn’t the kind of journalism “vegetables” that merit an explainer in the first place. If you weren’t informed by Vox’s breakdown, there’s a good chance you were laughing at it. If you find yourself asking, “ What is a Solange and why should I care?” Vox offers a brief crash course in her career and the origins of her name. Would Jay Z have become a meme if he had been the one lashing out? Julianne Ross at PolicyMic argues that such jokes make light of male victims of domestic violence, who are less likely to report abuse than female victims. Beyoncé, who’s no stranger to becoming an Internet meme herself, was surprisingly left out of the action for the most part. Solange was the butt of most of the jokes, which took swipes at her career and her Wikipedia page, though a few made Jay Z the target as well.
The assault became its own meme faster than you could type #WhatJayZSaidToSolange.
Here’s a breakdown to everything you need to know about the incident:
