Music mogul JAY-Z may have actually named his latest solo album after sister-in-law Solange. New viral speculation has developed over the real cause of Jigga’s chart-topping LP name’s origin.

According to reports, Young Hov’s 4:44 may actually stem from the hotel where his now-infamous Solange elevator fight went down.

One Twitter user posted a photo from The Standard Hotel in New York City on Wednesday morning (July 26), which is the location where Solange put her hands on the “Smile” rapper in the elevator. The photo displays the numbers “444”, as it happens to be the secondary address for the Boom Boom Room, which is a nightclub located at the top of the venue. According to DJ Booth, after 4 p.m., the address for the Boom Boom Room becomes 444 West 13th, which is the secondary entrance for the hotel. (XXL Mag)

Back in late June, JAY-Z revealed the motivation behind his album’s title.

“‘4:44’ is a song that I wrote, and it’s the crux of the album, just right in the middle of the album. And I woke up, literally, at 4:44 in the morning, 4:44 AM, to write this song. So it became the title of the album and everything. It’s the title track because it’s such a powerful song, and I just believe one of the best songs I’ve ever written.” (iHeart)

Immediately following its release, nearly every celebrity had co-signed JAY’s LP.
