While it's still not clear what caused the argument, TMZ points out that the third man stopped the elevator at one point as if trying to keep the altercation private.

Another clip posted by TMZ finds the trio exiting the party together, but splitting ways before entering their vehicles as Solange and Beyonce jump into a car together and Jay Z walks up to a different one.

Neither Jay Z, Beyonce or Solange have addressed the incident thus far.
