Jay-Z showered Solange Knowles with birthday surprises in the early hours of Sunday morning (24.06.12).
The '99 Problems' hitmaker
had been celebrating his headline set at the BBC Radio 1 Hackney Weekend
music event backstage on Saturday (23.06.12) with friends and family
including Solange, his wife Beyonce Knowles, Rihanna and M.I.A. but he
made sure his sister-in-law's special day didn't go unnoticed as soon as
the clock struck midnight.
He presented her with cake and champagne and led a chorus of 'Happy Birthday', much to Solange's shock.
A source told the Daily
Mirror newspaper: "It was really sweet. Solange hadn't even noticed that
it had turned 12am when Jay got everybody singing together. She was
really touched."
Earlier in the day, Solange
and her sibling Beyonce had enjoyed a relaxing day at the festival
before watching Jay-Z take to the stage.
Alongside a picture of herself and her sister with beaming smiles, Solange tweeted: "We. Are. Family."
The
birthday celebrations will have come as light relief following an
incident earlier in the evening when Jay-Z's bodyguards were allegedly
involved in a "ruckus" at BBC Radio 1's Hackney Weekend after someone
insulted Beyonce.
The rapper's entourage reportedly "piled in" on a man after he upset the rapper's wife backstage at the London music event.
A source said "Someone in the entourage said something to Beyonce to really upset her.
"Jay-Z's bouncers moved in
and there was a massive ruckus. Things really kicked off as his heavies
all piled in on the guy." - Bang Showbiz
