It’s safe to say that Solange Knowles was the talk of the net on Thursday, as well as on Twitter. Well the singer spoke via her twitter page about all the “controversy”:

NOT. inspired. by anyone. but. my. self. i. have. done. this. twice. in. my. life. i. was 16. i was 18. did. not care about your opinion. then. dont. care. now. dont. need. your. attention. or. your. co-sign. dont. want. a. edge. up. or a perm. because. im not trying. to make this “a style” or a statement. i. just. wanted. to. be. free. from. the. bondage. that. black. women sometimes. put. on. themselves. with. hair. this. phase. of. my. life. i. want to spend . the time. the energy. and the money. on something else. not in the hair salon. im. not. mad. at . all of you. that have made your opinions known. and have sent negative. energy. my way. i expected this of you. you. have. the right to have. an opinion. so. do. i.

I’m feeling Solange, I recently cut my dreads off and am rocking a baby fro. DO YOU PEOPLE. And for the record, Cassie didn’t start anything – it’s been done and will be done 1000x over again.
