Cartergate: The whole Solange vs Jay- Z Debacle

I know I'm late with writing this. As a matter of fact, so many things have happened since I wrote a blog that I could safely say that everybody went home from the party already and I'm just getting to it.
Anyway, I've had some serious things I had to tend to and some of my own punches to roll with as of late, so I had to give them my undivided attention. Now I'm here, so here goes:

Apparently Jay-Z done messed up. He done messed up so much that his wife's sister had to break her foot off in his a$$. Not only did she do it once, but she did it multiple times as indicated in the full-length video .  People have been saying that it was because Solange was taken off of the Rockafella Record label. They are even saying it was because Jay-Z wanted to go by himself to a Rhianna concert. What's crazy is that everybody is believing this mess. To those who agree with that I have to tell them to GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT MESS!  Here's why:

The last time I checked, Solange created Saint Records in 2013. She was releasing her own stuff through that label as well. Why would she feel the need to cling to Rockafella Records?

Also, why would she be mad about Jay-Z going to a Rhianna concert by himself? Maybe somebody could help me out with that one because it doesn't make any sense to me.

Upon looking closer at this, I think domestic violence may be at play. Here's why:
Many of us have seen Jay-Z and Beyonce in public. Check her mannerisms. As a woman, I can't help but notice, she may exhibit some tendencies toward being abused. Now abuse doesn't always have to be physical, in fact the most appealing kind of abuse to an abuser is the mental kind because there are no scars. As someone who grew up in that kind of environment, I happen to know what it looks like firsthand. All her life she had been groomed by her father to exude a particular image, to build a brand, and that means she had to have been molded since day one. Is it no surprise that she married someone who had the ability to do the same for her?  I mean, Jay-Z is incredibly rich, and he is no stranger to making profitable business decisions. Maybe it's just the hater in me, but I've always thought that Beyonce was something like that for Jay-Z. He gets the beautiful woman, they make a whole bunch of money together, I mean, it's a match made in heaven, and a great deal for both of them, right?

Now before folks get all up in my blog talking that, "Maybe they love each other, and they married out of love because, love makes a good quality marriage" they can GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT!  Several decades ago, marriage was just a transaction, as presented in the last paragraph of one of my previous blogs.  I strongly think Jay-Z's marriage was a great example of the marriage equals financial transaction kind of thinking. In this case, love is more of a contractual agreement, where the wife has to perform such "duties" to her husband. Keep in mind, those duties are subjective, and depending on the person, they could be dehumanizing.

Let's be real. A lot of people think they could lord over their spouses in whatever way they see fit. Sometimes, people believe that it's easy to see as with physical abuse. Some people don't see mental abuse.  In the Carter's case, it appears to be a case of both.  Notice in the full video, Bey was wearing house clothes, meaning, it looks like she was wearing clothes that look like a woman would wear around the house, you know, the kind she would wear strictly for her husband. Jay was wearing a suit, Solange is wearing a dress. Based on the clothes, it appears that maybe Solange popped over for a visit, and they all were hanging out at one point. Something popped off and they went to the elevator to escort Solange from the building. Solange argued with Jay and started attacking him.

And Bey just watches it all go down.

Why would she just watch her husband get beaten up like that?  My guess is that he did something wrong and she was not trying to defend it. Now in my experience, this is an instance where a sibling would take up for the other sibling if they had been in some sort of trouble. This is an instance where people want to act like they don't know about this kind of scenario. They want to discuss blood being thicker than water but, want to distance themselves when it comes to situations being in the limelight. This is why I took the time to shine some light on this situation.  I noticed that Solange tweet indicated what I suspected, but disappeared quick causing people to say it was fake:



Is it just me, or does this tweet indicate there was all kinds of underlying tension and animosity in the Carter relationship? 

Then all of a sudden, there was only one picture of Bey on Solange's instagram.  Afterwards, Jay-Z decided to spend money on Bey's sister. Usually something like that would be done to keep somebody quiet.

But wait, there's more. In the extended video, Jay was attacked multiple times. One of the times, Bey got between her sister and husband, as if she was trying to tell her sister to stop it and back down.

Now, I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, and I don't know their lives like that, but all of those actions look exactly like domestic violence to me. Are there any ladies out there who see what I'm looking at because I can't just sit back and say it isn't. All of their body language indicates something of the sort. I can't imagine Solange getting that worked up about not being on Jay's record label a year after she created her own.  From the looks of it, it seems she has her own money. 

Again, maybe I'm on to something, but that's just me. However, if that's the case I hope Beyonce could get help one day. So many people chose to stay in abusive relationships because that's all they know. It could be a gradual process a person could sink into and once they sink into it, there's no way out.  If I was a praying person, I'd pray for her. Since I'm not, I'll keep her in my thoughts. The same goes to all and any abused women out there, physically and or mentally.
