Solange's music sales increases by 230% after Jay Z elevator attack

You would think if you did something like this, fans and the general public will find a way to punish you - by like not buying your music or not attending your concerts. But that's not what's happening in Solange's case, instead she's experiencing an increase in music sales.

According to Nielsen Soundscan, the week after video footage leaked of Solange punching, kicking and spitting on her sister's husband, Jay Z, her digital music sales jumped 233%!

The week prior to the fight footage becoming public, Solange's music sales hovered around 600 downloads but the week after the video leak, it surged to over 2000. Now it's nearing 3000 downloads

You know what they say, no publicity is bad publicity. Look at Kim K for instance, she became an international superstar after a leaked sex video.

Bia, Linda what are you trying to promote by making reference to Kim's leaked see vid. Mind what you type here. I know it's a free world, I also believe you still have some moral. So keep it sane.

    Just shows U that jayZ has many silent enemies and queen bs fans who think jayz is sleeping around are the ones pushing solanges album sales. You dare not touch a woman in America, even if its your wifes sister dishing out the slaps, kicks and punches, u just have to stand and take it. If jayz had simply blocked or held her down,he would be in serious police trouble by now. Thank God we are in Africa, wey by now family people and elders go don tell beyonce and Solange to pack comot for jayZ house, dem go even ask them whether JayZ na d only man wey they fuck for outside.

    I hate it when people call Precious Kim whore, Nigerians and fake life ask your self in the mirro and in your private room what has Kim done I don't do as a girl. Is it relationship I bet u lots of girls on this blog has slept with more than 100 men it only takes a whore to recognise a whore @sexycutie or whatever u call your self. She's not a whore she's only a girl who was unfortunate to have a bad relationship a lot of people like sex vidoes to see how they act or respond to sex of better of watch them self in the mirro while having sex. Am a Nigerian and I have a sex vidoe buh is for my private use. So everyone is guilty of one single crime and some of us can't even boast of garri and sugar after their crime.

    If kim deliberately sold d sex tape she wouldn't ve sued vivid. Y must pple hate get ur fact right dat is y we ve google. Moreover the first to make money from dat video was Ray j. He made 200k dollars n then kim sued vivid she later withdrew the case cos the deed has been done n then vivid paid her a 5million dollars. Check google for more. Till date vivid kept the name of the person dat sold the tape a secret.

    @5:08, in defending Solo, you highlight yet another example of how Bey is always to her financial rescue. Who was DC's lead singer again? That's right, Beyonce. If Matt Knowles didn't cobble together writing credits for Solo on DC albums to pull residual checks from Beyonce's career, again no money.
