However, the same day, Buzzfeed[11] reported that Solange's Instagram account features at least four pictures of her and her sister, and only one picture of Beyonce had been deleted.

On May 14th, Beyonce posted five happy pictures of herself and Solange via her Instagram account.[7] This caused many bloggers and journalists to speculate[8] Beyonce was trying to stop rumors that there are any problems between her and her sister.

On May 15th, Solange posted a childhood photo of herself and her sister as part of the #ThrowbackThursday hashtag. In less than 24 hours it gained over 26,000 likes.
