Folks knew to never fuck with Solange from day one.
I think that’s why she’s so well respected today as a solo act. She asserted and affirmed that she was about herself so don’t ask about Beyonce, Jay, or Destiny’s Child. She’s not them.
She told y’all on “God Given Name” -
“I'm not becoming expectations
I'm not her and never will be
Two girls going in different directions
Traveling towards the same galaxy
Let my starlight shine on its own
No, I'm no sister
I'm just my God given name”
Folks have never given Kelly Rowland the same respect and it’s sad to witness. Especially this far down the line. Interviewers see her and Michelle as Beyoncé sources. Kelly been too sweet for too long instead of digging in asses and checking shit at the door. These folks take it too far with her repeatedly.
KR has a whole movie out, new song with the movie, just wrapped a tour, new album loading, new tour incoming, 15 year anniversary of her breakout solo era [Motivation, Here I Am] and these heaux asking about her sister. I’d just walk out from now on. Or pull an August Alsina: “I told y’all not to ask me this shit before I came out here”.
