Jay-Z holds the side of his face as he leaves the elevator with Beyonce, a bodyguard and Solange Knowles following the altercation.

Beyonce's younger singer turned sullen and said she wanted to leave the Standard Hotel fete after Jay Z told her to not let her friends drop his name to get into the after-party.

Beyonce’s sister went berzerk on Jay Z after the rapper insisted on going to Rihanna’s Met Gala after-party, the Daily News has learned.

But the fight that led to the Standard Hotel elevator explosion was set in motion 15 minutes earlier when a group of Solange Knowles’ non-famous friends showed up uninvited at the star-studded soiree, a source told The News.

“Two of her friends, who were not dressed for the Met Ball, showed up at The Standard and caused a scene downstairs,” the source said.

"They wouldn't leave and kept name dropping Jay Z. They were pretending they were guests of his and not hers. Management went to Julius (Beyonce's bodyguard) and said there's a problem."

Our source said Jay Z soon got wind of it and snapped at Solange, saying “don't use my name.”
The 27-year-old singer turned sullen and said she wanted to leave the party.

On the way out, Jay Z said he'd be heading to Up & Down on W. 14th Street, where Rihanna was holding her own post-Met Ball bash, a second source said.

Jay's camp had called ahead of time to say he would be coming alone and "didn't need extra security" because Beyonce wouldn't be attending, the source said.

Apparently, that didn't sit well with Solange.

"She seemed drunk and irritated," said a second source. "She said, ‘Why can't you go home?' and to Beyonce 'Why does your husband need to go to the club right now?'"

An incensed Jay Z didn’t back down. “You're one to talk," he replied, the source said.

Jay’s response set Solange into a rage. Once inside the elevator, she started punching and kicking her brother-in-law — an attack that was caught on surveillance video and leaked to TMZ.com on Monday.

Ultimately, the rapper decided against going to Rihanna's party.

Reps for Beyonce, Jay Z and Solange did not return requests for comment.
