By now, everyone and their mama should have seen Solange’s Fox News Vegas interview. If not, click here. The singer wanted to clear the air about the “incident” so she released this video today. Peep the video.

i don’t blame solange for her reaction. i’m sure lots of “journalists” and newspeople have tested her with all these personal questions about Bee and Jay.
i don’t know how many of you have actually browsed TMZ’s website, but they rush up on celebs in the street, their paparazzi hurls insults and rude remarks at these celebs, and they relentlessly follow them around the streets and harass them during interviews.
how many of y’all want to go to interview after interview expecting to talk about YOU, just to hear that what the interviewer really wants is some personal dish on your family? most of y’all wouldn’t stand for that, i hope.

She came off as EVEN more arrogant. I think journalists will have a ban against her.

She gets a B*tch Please from me!!! How is it disrespectful/offensive to ask someone about your famous brother-in-law. What was disrespectful was how she acted. All she had to do was say I don’t have anything to say about that. I’m done with her. She sits there and criticizes journalists for asking her about her sister and Jay-Z, yet she talks about him in this video!!! She’s like yeah for the record sold it for some nice change. WTF??? Make up your mind. You can’t have it both ways. I Hope she falls back into the crypt with Beyonce’s old wigs and costumes.

Jay-Z and her dad should talk to her. There are better ways to handle interviews professionally. Such as when asked a question you do not want to answer simply tell the journalist you are only here to talk about your album.

Well, for anyone that is familiar with how satellite feeds work, I can understand how she mistook the introduction given to her. All you hear is what’s coming in the ear piece, and if someone tells you you’re live, you think that what’s being said is on television. She thought that her introduction included the references to Jay-Z’s club.
I don’t think she handled it in the best way, but I can understand being upset. You go to promote something that you’ve worked hard on, and the first thing a reporter mentions (you think) is a story about someone else, more famous, but connected to you. She does need to learn how to play the game a little better…but I like a lil sass.

I think she handled it perfectly. Journalism is definitely at an all time low and it seems like anything goes when it comes to them trying to make a “good” story. Media has so much power in this day and age and they can turn something untrue and irrelevant into something that everyone believes and is on the front page of every outlet. I think celebrities should definitely start taking a stand and not let themselves be taken advantage of and maybe the media, or paparazzi or whoever will fall back a bit. I wouldn’t count on it though.
One thing that does annoy me though is when an artist says buy my “record”. A record is only one song. They need to say buy my “album” which means media that includes all the records. Just a pet peeve of mine. Later!

I agree wit #12
And Why would she tell everyone that Jay got a big check from his club, that was “REALLY” STUPID MOMENT RITE THERE.!
Why do I get this vibe/or something coming off her, like she can do w/e she wants to cause her sister did this and that. I may not like Beyonce as a singer , but I never ever seen her disrespect anyone, be rude, spoke down gave into gossip or anything of that nature, Yea I think she’s kind of fake/ and overrated but I can honestly say of how I feel that she’s a naturally nice person on the inside and out. (Not saying that Solange isn’t) . I respect her alot that she keeps her personal life private.

It amazes me how stupid and sensitive people are she wasn’t rude she said the words “Unprofessional” and “Please” she might have been mad but she kept it pretty professional, most of you guys would have gone off if someone was trying put your families business on blast. (I say this hoping you would at least stick up for your family, but judging by the comments you guys wouldn’t just stick up for them you’d probably insult whoever was asking the question)
It really leaves me baffled as to how you guys can say some of the rudest comments to these people who you have never met nor probably ever will meet, and don’t know from jump street. So maybe you all should look in the mirror to find the true meaning of RUDE.
P.S. I was being rude.

What got me is that she jumped stank w/ the anchor woman, not the producer. Why are you going to give that lady a hard time, she called Monica Johnson unprofessional not the producer.
She reminds me of a lot of these “high yellow” girls, they think they are all that any like to get snippy w/ darker sistah (like we are hating on them or something) I don’t think she would’ve jumped stank w/ anyone but that sistah on an issue like this.
I think Ms. Johnson handled it well, and all you have to say when you don’t want to answer a question (even though they didn’t ask her that question) is NO COMMENT! That’s the professional thing to do.

#27. Rudeness isn’t soley portrayed in words, but also in demeanor. Her whole demeanor was STANK and rude.
There’s a way to duck & dodge questions you don’t want to answer. Someone needs to sign her up for that class STAT. While she was harping on the reporter calling her unprofessional, she didn’t realize she was in fact the unprofessional one. That reporter handled herself very well given the situation.
I like Solange & her music, but her attitude is disgusting. She needs a HUGE reality check & she needs to knock off the air of entitlement.

Wow! Maybe she needs to be more graceful and less verbal (like you know) because it appears that she is trying to capatilize on the brother n law thing to me.The jocking jay z quote was an inappropriate response for the way she came off. Lose the arrogance due to the association; you seem like you are waiting for those kinds of questions. Even Jay does not respond that way- Grow Up.

Dev
Thursday, August 28, 2008 /
Sorry… now let me get this correct! She said that she wasn’t happy to comment on Jay-z’s situation about the club but then says that he sold it for some nice change. What was the problem with either saying that in the interview or not responding at all? Jay-z was on U.K tv and was asked about his marriage and he just changed the subject, when asked again he said he chooses not to discuss that. she needs some media training because its obvious that money doesn’t buy you manners. She was rude! and the “oh yeah” in a roundabout, passing i don’t really give a shit tone actually makes the situation worse. Shape up or move along Solange! you have limited time for your star to shine before another artist hits the spotlight so utalise your time properly.

I’m def. a Solange fan, but I must agree: She did not handle that in a classy or professional way at all.
She should have brushed it off and kept it moving. As a matter of fact, I think she should have done what many artists do when they’re pissed and don’t want to answer questions: Repeated the name of her album and “In stores now” the whole interview and called it a day!
To do a rebuttal and blame the media and all that nonsense just makes her look more like a fool. And really, based on seeing the “real” demeanor she exudes on that Fox clip, and comparing it to the “sweet” demeanor she’s trying to have during this rebuttal video, she’s looking a tad fake.
Still love ya Solange! Love the style and the fact that you’re jumping out of the box! Keep ya head up and leave the video rebuttals to PR and media professionals. They never work for those not trained on how to spin situations to their own agenda!

And another thing which I also notice when, I watch it The reporter didn’t even know what she talking about, when Solange said that. If you see she was like “What?”
“What happen?” Wells anyways! ” - And I do think that it was very unprofessional on Solange part because that journalist is a professional also and she’s trying to represent her self in positive light too! Snice Solange did just say “The PRODUCER, Make sure…………..club”. So Why critized the journalist women.
C’mon now! Am done for the day. Am done!

You know, for someone to whose about flop (again) she sure does have a diva attitude..
Solange is clearly immature and totally unprofessional. She needs to lose this “hood mentality” and start acting more like her sis…humble and kind..
But the video definitely does come across as “damage control” which only means that she (or her associates) have been reading these responses…hopefully she’ll get her shyt together..

I liked Solange until today. The attitude in the first video was inappropriate and the explanation in the second was even worse!! She just showed how ignorant she really is. I guess a person cannot disguise ignorance forever. She needs training!! And if she did not want to discuss Jay-Z, why tell us that he recieved a fat check. That’s telling the business, isn’t it?

Rude? I think she did a great job the way she handled the situation. If anyone said anything about my fam even off the air I would still check them on national T.V., but solange says they said she was live, so I feel that she had the upmost right to check them, even the intro of being beyonce little sister was off, they could have just introduced her as her. And I know if half of you who are commenting whould have went off too on national t.v, and the ones who wouldn’t I wouldn’t want to claim you as fam because you would be what I consider a coward who doesn’t respect your blood.

My issue (as some have raised) is that she publicly jumped the anchor woman. Yes, she should have maintained a professional demeanor during the interview, and voiced her dissent afterwards with the PRODUCER. I wonder would she have been so rude to Katie Couric, Bill O, or any random white anchor. Love us, but we black folk tend to give our own a hard time (tell em off or fight em in a minute), but if others wrong us, we tend to show them deference. Never a good look!

lol im with most of ya’ll about her attitude. her response wasn’t respectful nor “professional” (since she seems to know what thats about). notice how, throughout the interview, she still had a little attitude going on. “professional” would have been like, “oh ok i was wrong, my apologies” and go on w/ the interview instead of cocking her arm back and shaking her leg the entire time.
but yall know how silly these childish-behind girls act, thinkin theyre grown cus they got some kids haha. child bye!
she’s lucky to have some fans cus if people were like me, they wouldnt be able to take one more second of that nasally mess. theres no way she’d be gettin the attn she’s gettin now if it werent for being who she is so girl you better enjoy this.

Can you say damage control? Seems like Solange wasn’t prepared for how quick things spread on the internet and the backlash that comes along with it. How you gonna come out the gate copping an attitude. That is no way to make firends. There are many potential artist who can tell you how they have been blackballed for their diva ways. Especially when they haven’t accomplished anything yet. I love Beyonce, but Solange I can take her or leave her. For now I will leave it.

Solo needs so spend more time with her PR manager before she speaks. Solonge really came off poorly in both videos. But she is young and inexperienced.
Jay and Bey can take care of themselves. You can’t have it both ways. The only reason you got those producers to work with you is BECAUSE of your sister and family. So let’s not come off like people can’t ask you about them.
That does not mean however that you have to respond in such a childish way ON AIR. Class goes a long way. You will learn that when those sound scans come back….LOL

I watched the first video and I have to say she is now a turn off to me, right when I thought she was cool she is not. Solange is playing the bad girl role a little too hard just to be different. Solange wouldnt have said this mess to TRL. I am officially off the bandwagon, even Beyonce isnt like this.
Regarding the second video, why did she even bring up Jay Z getting a big check for his deal? Solange is the one jockin. I really dont like this family because they show their true colors everytime.

She’s ridiculous. Doesn’t she have a publicist or anyone telling her to sit down and shut the hell up? She sounded as stupid and ignorant on this clip as she did during the interview. Regardless, she should remain gracious… and she is not. I respect her setting herself apart from her sister and being her own person, but she should really take some pages out of B’s book. JUST when I started to respect Sol for what she was doing, I just lost it all. Better luck next time, boo!

People shouldnt even buy her album, if she is like this to an anchorwoman on T.V. she is worse in person. Journalist are not the same as Pap’s…..Oprah, Katie Couric, and Barbara Walters are journalist…Pap’s are actually stalking celebs to get a pic. Solange came on their show not the other way around. Even her body language changed, she put her arm up on the back of chair (wrong move on tv), I personally now think this chick thinks she is better. Janet Jackson grew up with people always comparing her but she did the damn thing and made a name for herself.
Dear Solange
Next Time, STFU

@ 28 having an attitude towards someone is the same thing as being rude, if you look at the video AGAIN her entire presence was arrogant and directed towards the wrong person. Saying PLEASE does not soften the situation. True we must stick up for our family but no one attacked her family, asking why the 40/40 closed down was not an attack now if they would have said why your ghetto brother in law can’t keep a business than we would have some problems.

But it didn’t seem that the reporter had anything to to do with your frustration. You could have just handled the person who asked the question after the interview went off the air. There is a way to address filthy questions, and that wasn’t one of them. Bey would have simply said “no comment,” or “next question.” Just like someone said, the price of fame comes very hefty on the personal life. You have to be professional, or kill them with kindness, cause if people don’t like your attitude, they won’t buy your album=shorter sales=shorter paycheck.

SHE COULD HAVE WAITED TIL AFTER THE INTERVIEW TO ADDRESS THAT, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE FIRST QUESTION SHE ASKED HER WAS NOT EVEN ABOUT THAT. SHE’S ARROGANT, AND HAS NO MANNERS. SHE NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO PRESENT HERSELF IN AN INTERVIEW, HER ATTITUDE WASN’T CUTE AT ALL
SHE MIGHT NOT HAVE TWISTED HER NECK AND SNAPPED HER FINGERS AND SHIT, BUT THE WAY SHE CAME OFF SHOWS SHE COULD EVENTUALLY HAVE TO POTENTIAL TO DO SO, AND WOULD PROBABLY DO IT ON NATIONAL TV

Talk about DAMAGE CONTROL!! But @ the end of the day she said the producer said it so why put that reporter in an uncomfortable position?! That is what made the video crazy, not her reaction but how, when, and who it was directed toward.
Another thing…How can she go off because she “heard” they were going to ask her about Jay-Z and then come up here, Vlog about it, and the first thing outta her mouth is “He sold it for…” So Cmon Cut the Shit….
If you gone keep it real, keep it real! She woulda been better off saying the Producer said this, I felt offended (allthe other stuff she said) but apologized to that Reporter lady. She woulda still be standing her ground but the anger would have been more appropriate and NOT misdirected…CMON SOLO!

I’m glad she set the record straight becuz my friend definitely showed me that other clip yesterday and I was not going to buy her album off of that…
I thought that was so unprofessional of her … Now that I know the meaning behind it, I’m a bit more understanding…
However, there definitely is a way to conduct one’s self in the entertainment industry becuz after talent(or lack thereof for some), your reputation is all that you have…

I think the way she came off was pretty rude but who can blame her? If you’re on the show trying to promote your record, why should you answer questions about your sister and her husband? That has nothing to do with Solange. While she should have been a little bit more professional, I praise her for sticking up for her family. I’m pretty sure you all would have done the same thing. And major points for her trying to clear the air herself! Most artists would have had the assistant do all of the damage control…I love solange, even if she’s a little ghetto at times. That CD is banging =)

I don’t think this “attitude” thing is an isolated incident… I remember when I was watching the Grammys and Rihanna had just won an award… RiRi went up to JayZ and tried to bring him up on stage to accept the award with her… Solange, who was sitting with JayZ gave RiRi this look… And when I say “look” I mean THE LOOK OF DEATH! I remember thinking “damn, this chick is kinda given off some bad energy! What is that all about?” This is the same thing… It’s her demeanor that can be somewhat off-putting. I just think she is very protective of her family (Jayz included). When you mess with her fam, all hell breaks loose!
I wasn’t there so I can’t really judge her. I can appreciate the fact that she was being honest and trying to speak up for herself…It’s the same reason I love Kanye, bc he’ll speak his mind and his truth no matter where he is or how uncomfortable it may make you. However, there is a time and a place for everything.
I agree with #21, it’s all a game… you just gotta learn how to play it.

Solange’s album will fail simply because of karma. What was done to Michelle and Kelley will be dished ot to Solange. I don’t care how much press they try to get this girl; a star she will never be. Why? Because you can’t make chicken salad out of chicken shit and chicken shit is what Solange’s “talent” and “looks” amount to.

See the bad girl image they’re trying to create for her is working against her. I’m sure they’re trying to give her that Keisha Cole or Mary J. Blige edge but they forget Keisha and Mary had hits before they started displaying such behavior not to mention the fact that both had histories and lifestyles that supported their attitudes. This is all too unconvincing of Solange. Solange sweetie (because I know you’re reading this) I’m sure you have many gifts and talents but this industry is not for you.

First of all, she needs tooooonnnnnnsss of work. I won’t be cruel but she’s no A Lister….or B…C, D, E or F, for that matter. In fact, without Beyonce’s name (she actually accompanied her to an interview this morning lol And it was more Solange through the eyes of superstar Beyonce Knowles than it was Solange the artist…so that’s pretty telling) she would be absolutely nothing…the people she mentioned in the first seconds of that video have more right to the bit of press she’s getting. She’s just an all around dope, honestly…nothing about her is extraordinary…maybe that nose job…it’s got to be the worst ever…

Hmm…. I love how people who don’t know shit about shit like to come in and anonymously judge another person lol I’m not saying I haven’t ever done it…. but if this situation had been done to a man or even another celeb who did or didn’t have a famous sister they were constantly being compared to, asked about shitted upon daily every got dam move she makes … then I think people would be giving her some slack…. dayum is she really that hated?? lol poor thing…..
ok point #1 in her defense ( I hope) … Mama Knowles isn’t riding on her back as if she were the only child and a meal ticket.
point #2 Solange is now and always has done things her own way and came out on top (if you will) she had a child and didn’t give up on her career even tho her parents obviously put their all into Beyonce
#3 look at how many times I already mentioned Beyonce… (lol that alone would burn me up having an older sis who thinks the sun and moon sets on their ass)
#4 y’all have no damn idea how Beyonce would have reacted because her mother is always there and always talks for her (remember the PETA incident?)
#5 with training and guidance she will come out to be maybe an even brighter more likeable less fake make-up’ed up star… I am routing for her if none of these judgmental haters are smh damn
I wonder if she took a shit would Oprah come out to inspect it and tell her she failed cuz it’s not a C shaped sparkling turd …..

And to those of you who are defending her behavior, she blew up on an E! reporter on the red carpet at the BET awards…she’s just released her first video (if she even had) and she had no right not to expect the infamous “are they married” from someone on the red carpet. And she isn’t too bright either (or she’s consciously destroying her sister’s secret) because the guy basically tricked her: “How have they changed since they got married” he asked… and “Ionnnn Know! U dot da asss dem!! I ain’ in da bed wid dem!!” That was her answer…smh! Now, her sister has always graciously said “thanks for asking, but that’s personal”…why oh why does Solange think she can do otherwise?

I really have to disagree with #10. When you become a celebrity you DO NOT give up your privacy. Your privacy is still “your privacy” no matter how much cheddar you got. What needs to happen is people need to respect that and not push so hard for ‘the scoop”. Not to gang up on you #10 because a lot of people feel that same way. I do totally agree with the fact that maybe she should chill on the comments because..well she is fairly new to the game. My biggest problem with celebs today is they feel the need to comment. That is where they go wrong. Who the heck cares what other people think…if you doin you then let the haters do them! Giving it a voice or energy just fuels more craziness…that is all I have to say about that.

Lets be real here…Most of the people claiming this incident made them not like Solange and made them decide to not buy her album, probably werent gonna do anything but save their money for Beyonce;s next cd anyway. I dont have a problem with what Solange said , nor how she said it, because if I were her, I wouldnt appreciate being asked to come on a show and be asked to discuss her album, only to be given 2 minutes to discuss her projects and the rest of the time is spent on Jay and Beyonce. Yes that is her sister and she’s a big star, but still Solange is her own woman and she deserves to be respected as such.Sucks that the reporter had to catch flack, but I think anybody would be tired of that….in magazine interviews with Kelly and Michelle, journalists always turn the conversation to Beyonce, so Im glad SOMEBODY had the guts to speak up and make it clear they didnt come to be interviewed for that. Im glad she was honest, cut them off at the pass immediately, and didnt give a beauty pageant speech just to maintain an image. Either you like her and are going to buy the album or youre not….and Im glad she didnt compromise herself just to have a huge album. Solange seems to be one of the few artists out not willing to sellout or be pimped…she seems to be in this industry for the creativity, not for the glamour of it. Im glad somebody is staying true to themselves and not being fake.

You people who defend her are dumb and living in a world where you would accept anything. This is a chick who always talks about her family, in a recent interview she told the world that she doesnt think Beyonce will be able to handle a kid because she didnt know how to put together a stroller. Also, Solange talked about how she has Daddy Knowles around her little finger and she get what she wants. Then to go make a video talking about Jay and his check, come one people. Im starting to like Beyonce more because she dont pull this mess, she has other people do it for her.

Sorry, Calling people dumb was rude….but I was reading some of the comments and getting frustrated because people will make all kinds of excuses for the Knowles family, I mean they could kill someone on tv and people would be right there defending them. The whole Knowles family are snobs, they grew up rich with maids so of course they’re going to be snobs.
I was going to buy Solange’s album because I think her songs are catchy and vibey, but after seeing the video it turned me off. Solange I dont think would have gone off on a white journalist because she knows her place, but she popped off on ole’ black girl who was actually loving her.

Truth
Thursday, August 28, 2008 /
First off I am not a hater. I was just wondering:
1). Why do celebs always complain about media harrassment, but they do anything they possibly can to stay on the front pages ? Do they know they can protect their privacy if they fall back into obscurity, stay away from high profile events, not get free designer items and accept the average mans working wages for the rest of their lives.
3). Alot of people are overshadowed by others but, what do you expect when you get in the same industry that your sister took by storm. Even Janet is still refered to as Micheal’s little sister. “Dont begrudge a family members success especially when it was instrumental to yours.”
4). Solange is not above being asked questions that she doesnt want to answer. I tell people on a daily basis to “get some business” but I am nice about it so that I dont lose my job. You cant take on the world. because you will lose everytime, and apologizing is not always the ‘low road”, especially when you chastised the wrong person. Peace.

It amazes me how stupid and sensitive people are she wasn’t rude she said the words “Unprofessional” and “Please” she might have been mad but she kept it pretty professional, most of you guys would have gone off if someone was trying put your families business on blast. (I say this hoping you would at least stick up for your family, but judging by the comments you guys wouldn’t just stick up for them you’d probably insult whoever was asking the question)
It really leaves me baffled as to how you guys can say some of the rudest comments to these people who you have never met nor probably ever will meet, and don’t know from jump street. So maybe you all should look in the mirror to find the true meaning of RUDE.
P.S. I was being rude.
LMAO^ I know right? They getting on solange about being professional, but they can’t even keep it professional on the blog without getting ghetto and over worked about her actions. So imagine how they would act if they were in the business and a journalist came @ them wrong? ha. they funny.

I think that Solange came across very rude. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with sticking up for your family or not wanting to comment to a question being asked, but there is a more professional way to do it. In my opinion, she came across as very illiterate when she spoke just like how Beyonce sounds when she speaks sometimes. With all that money they have they need to be taught how to speak and sound professional, especially in the industry they are in.

I supported Keyshia Cole from day 1 when she was “rude” to the media “ghetto” and all…When will you understand, fans are the drive behing every artist?? This should not be blown out of proportion like it is now. It’s not like the lady got cussed out. Now if Solange went off on the lady and dropped a few F-bombs, then y’all can react like this.

I seriously think that this whole I’m real and Ima speak my mind attitude is just all for publicity. I really got mad at her when she had released a quote about people criticizing her song chronic nightcap (whatever it’s called) about her f*cking around, smoking that weed, and passing out because she got drunk. She had a nerve to say “I’m Grown” and have done grown things and said more things in that quote that made her sound just easily taken advanatage of by all her negative peers (friends). Bitch please. So because you were 18,19,20,21,22 that’s what you were supposed to do. Teenagers 14-17 do that sh*t already and they aint grown. I think she is a bad role model as a young mother and just a bad example as a woman. She seems very ignorant and spoiled. I don’t know where mama and papa knowles went with her. She’s not totally out of control, but she is spoiled and negative. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with defending your family, but people are gonna talk and the reason why they keep on pushing her buttons is because they know it gets to her. She’s so dumb enough to feed into that sh*t. She needs to take a lesson from her sister.

And with that mouth how is anyone supposed to want to listen her music. She talks to people like she’s a gangster making smooth R&B. soooo crazy.

She has to look at it from a standpoint of who she is. The reality is that she is not her sister or Jay-z, and to an extent the interviewers are doing HER a favor. She should be confident, but she should not act like everybody is anxious for the next Solange cd or interview! If you have be phony and kindly say no comment to a journalist, then that’s what you do if you want to at least sell 100,000 copies!

We have to accept that Solange is very young and still very much “hood” despite the money.At least I learned that JZ is her brother in law..

n I like how she incorporated how he sold the club for a huge chunk of change n the quote…”LOVE ME or LEAVE ME ALONE!””
Solange knows the deal. If she doesn’t want a career in music then decline doing the interviews and quietly raise your son in peace. The problem is, she wants her cake and eat it too. I see nothing for her to over react the way she did. Her blood is too close to her skin. She is an adult now. She needs to carry herself as such. She is in a business that is very flaky. She lost herself a ton of potential sales because of her hasty attitude.

“It amazes me how stupid and sensitive people are she wasn’t rude she said the words “Unprofessional” and “Please” she might have been mad but she kept it pretty professional, most of you guys would have gone off if someone was trying put your families business on blast.”
It isn’t “what” she said,but “how” she said it. This girl has a major attitude. She is in the business where people are going to like you one day and hate you the next. You don’t need to give them a reason. Her body language stunk as well.

PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID SOMETIMES! I need someone to justify how the hell she was rude in that interview, it’s not like she offended someone or I dont know, I mean, she said ‘the introduction was not professional and please dont tie me with my brother in law and my family’ what the fuck is rude about that? I mean, she even mentionned she was not talking to the lady but the producer who wanted to get infos about Jay-z’s club, I mean, she was supposed to be there for her album promo and I could definitely understand the fact that she felt offended and disrespected, it was like they were just using her to get their infos and that is just not right.
Now I really dont know why ppl are making such a big deal about it.
For me she handled it very well, it was just an accident that she thought it was her introduction, so if because of that you wont buy her album or wont support her anymore, thats your fuckin problem cause youre the loser on that case. PERIOD.

“LOVE HER SHE SET IT OFF LIKE ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN TAUGHT TO STAND UP FOR THEMSELF WOULD HAVE. SHE IS A MOTHER AND MOST OF YA’LL KNOW YOUR MOMS DON’T PLAY THAT SHIT!”
This would be alright,but she stood for nothing because it was a non issue.

Oh and I forgot, so now, ppl want her to sit this way or that way in her chair, give a smile and what again? That is consdered to be rude too? SMH She is real not fake, she is supposed to act like Solange, love her or leave her alone. Its amazin how ppl want celebs to act like they want to and of course if she was not a Knowles, ppl wouldnt hate her this way, poor girl, I now understand why she said in her album ‘I wouldnt have a famous family’ SMH

she could have easily ignored the comment. it’s would have made her more classy but in the confusion she went off. the best part is no one shouldn’t be asking her anything about anyone besides her and her music. unfortunately she did look silly especially when they said on air to counter her comment that it was asked off air. did anyone see that anchorwoman look around like “who is she talking to?” good thing solange wasn’t there because she look like she was ready to brawl with how she was talking to her.

@#8- Yeah I agree homegirl could have apologised once she realised she got it wrong, after all it wasn’t the woman who did anything wrong. It was the producer behind the scenes.

I am over the whole situation. I think the media along with Solange gotta a lot of growing up to do. Anyone will do anything for a story these days. Solange got coverage about her album but in a bad way.
I guess this story is no different than when the media wanted to keep hopping about the Janet Jackson breast baring incident and while she was trying to promote Why I Got Married? Solange had needed Tyler Perry there to come to her defense. LMAO.

It’s good that she is trying to appear to be nicer.
Still, it doesn’t erase the fact that she was the “unprofessional” one in the actual interview.
And I also don’t appreciate her comment about journalism being at an all time low. She needs to realize that TMZ is a celebrity gossip site, not a credible news source—which is what journalism actually is.
So, yes, she still has much to learn, but you can tell that this video was a damage control effort.

I think the news media did tick her off and we knew what they said even when the video was first released online. The problem was her response. Everything she said on camera to be this so called “outspoken, real” girl came off ass rude and ignorant. She could have released a personalized statement to the media or had her reps contact them. What she did was uncalled for and the reason why she released this lil blog of hers was to save face of the a$$ she made herself out to be. Because you are rude doesn’t make you real it just makes you simply rude. When other stars smile and ignore, it doesn’t make them fake, it makes them cordial. Remember it is the media that helps market you and sad to say if it weren’t for your sis and bro in law you wouldn’t have even landed a spot on the news to begin with. I hope she learned her lesson from this one. Remember the media has been around for years, they don’t really need you, you need them.

I’ll be honest…iii reeeally don’t give a damn. I didn’t like her at first, she grew on me and now I like her a little bit.
The situation with FOX still doesn’t effect any way that I feel. I did notice how her whole mood changed. Yea, she could’ve kept her posture right and acted more enthused about talking about her album. Yea, she could’ve waited and said something afterwards, but atleast she didn’t really go off like (with the sheneneh voice) “Nuh uh,wait holle up ok. Hole up, no you didn’t. First of all beeeiiitch”…. I guess I can give her a well she tried to maintain and she tried to defend herself but will learn to do better in the future vote.
As for the response vid. It didn’t effect me either. Although I didn’t think she needed to mention Jay’s check, but whatevs. She may just have a chip on her shoulder. I really don’t think that she’s trying really hard to be the “hood sistah from the Knowles family” like everyone is saying. Maybe that’s who she is. Hey, I like a “I don’t give a f**k type of artist every now and again. As long as they stay loyal and respectful to their fans.
Still like the music, still THINKING about buying the album. I’m not too sensitive on this sub…..

Why do you agree to do interviews? You know the reporters are going to go after any morsel they can. That’s their job to get the juicy gossip. Just prepare yourself, for anything. Like Beyonce did, whenever they asked her about Jay Z, it was like not talking about my personal life. She made it a point to let them know that I will nicely tell you to mind your business and keep it rolling, not missing a beat. They still try her with the niceness and sweetness and she will be firm and let them know. Solange, just say that they got the best of you that time but be prepared to say, not talking about anything or anyone else but my album and just ignore them each time!!
Everybody has a bad day including all of us and Solange deserves a second chance, she is still talented in both singing and writing.

Lawd Have Mercy, this lil homely raggedy horse head beagle nose, droopy eyed skank is a mess. She sucks eggs. The only thing Byaki can get credit for is keeping her mouth shut because when she talks in that deep manly southern drawl she sounds dumb as molasses. They’re purely ignorant squandering fame and as much as they talk about money they can’t be christians because the money makes them they don’t make the money. BYaki married to CamelToe is not news. Britney Spears is news 24/7 This is probably a Carter-Knowles Attenting Seeking Production.

HA! I just listened to her explanation…Now who wouldn’t have assumed that some peripheral person shouting “ask her about the club closing” would have been something BEHIND THE SCENES?!! Huh? What news program would RUIN THEIR LIVE BROADCASTING by blurting that out? She’s soooooooooooo stupid! REALLY!

Solange needs to learn to be more humble and take responsibility for her actions. Even after she was corrected (in the first interview) she should of took it upon herself to clear it up more PROFESSIONALLY (since that seems to be what she expects out of an interview) and she continued to finish the interview very immaturely and in a rude and arrogant manner. When in the lime light, misunderstandings like this will happen ALL THE TIME.–> If this is how she plans on handeling it everytime, she has another thing coming for her. (Get it together Solange) if she expects to make a name out there for herself, she’s definitely going to need a reality check.(Cause trust me, her attitude is already getting TIRED!!!!)

“Solangé” as they spell it, reminds me of the hater bitch who sat in the back of the class spreading rumors about everyone. She is so immature, her idea of an adult is backwards. Ya don’t come at peoples necks on national television and you always get the story right before addressing something!!! if I could get close enough to her to smack the remi out of her head, I would.

Solange, the only ones you have wrap around your finger is Beyonce, Tina, and Matthew. No one else cares. You will only get away with this at family functions. And by the way, if you were so tough why did you need Beyonce to go with you to your next interview. Make up your mind are you TOUGH or are you SPOILED. I really don’t care if your spoiled, just know that it’s only your family who’s going to let you get away with that. This is NOT your fault, it’s your family’s for not telling you the truth. The truth that yoour family don’t tell you, the world will be quick to let you know.
P.S. And please make sure your a star first before you start pulling your diva moves.

If it weren’t for Solanges’s FAMILY MEMBERS (Matthew, Beyonce, & JayZ)..she would definitely not be be on TV actin a DAMN NUT..!!..she feels entitled, like nobody can tell her nothing because of her FAMILY’S SUCCESS…No person in their right mind who is trying to get their career started would risk being a bitch on NATIONAL TV..unless they had money anyway.

Solange dissed fox in her explanation video but she totally made herself look more ignorant when she said something about Fox and the type of news they carry
If Fox is all bad then why was she on there in the first place?

Lol. I WANNA TELL EVERYONE WHATS SOLANGE’S PROB RIGHT NOW. SOLANGE WANTS TO PARADE AROUND THE WORLD TELLING EVERYBODY “F YOU, F YOU, F YOU, F YOU, AND WHEN SOMEONE ACTUALLY RESPONDS AND SAYS YA KNOW WHAT SOLANGE…. F YOU TOOOOOO, SHE GETS PISSED AND THROWS TANTRUMS. the way i feel towards solange actually hasn’t much to do with the way she handles this interview but her persona since she came out again. I was following her music and other achievements from solo star days and I was sooooo disappointed to see her come bk out like this. I like the fact that she is bold but she is very bitter and rude. The worst part is that she constantly feels the need to prove that she is a good mom yet she has a horrible, potty mouth. I hope she doesn’t have the nerve to punish her son when she hears these expressions from his mouth cuz she sets no example. Well, I AM DISAPPOINTED!!! Also, Beyonce clearly cares alot about her and solange always shoves the girl to the side - its clear that she is jealous of her especially when her father sd in an interview that she broke all of beyonce trophies and didnt care. She’s clearly as the guy from fox sd, “A BRAT!!” Now on her interviewing… I’m not suprised. Expect worse from her guys, this is nothing. Didn’t ya hear the interview when she sd she tells her dad what she wants and says “Go make my money?” Disappointing. The funny part is she actually made great music this time around but the majority r not gonna buy cuz of her attitude alone. Sad story. Next please..

Lol @ these responses….she wasnt classy @ all and i can well understand her irritation, but like u guys said, she could’ve handled it much better. A simple change of the subject back to her album or “no comment” would’ve worked wonders. But whatever, i was never that impressed w/her anyway. And to all defending her, ur probably just as ghetto and rude as she is.
