After reportedly being paid $250,000 for leaking the security clip of Jay Z and Solange rift, a Standard Hotel employee has been revealed and dismissed by the hotel.

His appointment was terminated for “breaching the security policies of the hotel and recording the confidential CCTV video”.

This is after there were reports that Standard Hotel hired Hollywood lawyer Marty Singer to investigate who sold the tape.

“There are only a handful of people who’d have access to that tape,” said a source. “The Standard owns that tape. Once it was out, Jay Z’s people felt they couldn’t control it. They were reluctant to try and publicly fight this.”

The music superstars, Jay Z and Solange, who are at the center of the controversy, were seen shopping at a shop at New York.

There is still no public statements or word from the super private superstars after the video was made public.
