About a week before Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding in Italy video of Solange Knowles attacking Jay Z in the elevator at the Met Gala went viral [click here if you missed that], leading many to believe THAT was the reason Jay Z and Beyonce skipped KimYe's wedding [click here if you missed that].
Turns out the REAL reason was much more calculating…
Sources tell Page Six
"[Jay Z and Beyonce] shunned Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s wedding because it was too low-rent for the Jay Z/BeyoncĂ© brand. “They are guarding like hell their status,” the source says. “BeyoncĂ© wasn’t going to allow a Kardashian to socially climb her. And Jay didn’t want Kanye with Kim — he thinks it’s bad for business. I think Jay lost a little respect for Kanye there.”
