Solange Knowles got all pissy with a reporter on Fox 5 LA. Knowles, 22, was on a live interview yesterday to promote her new album, Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams, which was out Tuesday. She got confused by a segment the news ran ahead of her interview about Jay-Z’s 40/40 club closing that was not related to her interview and was just supposed to be general entertainment news.
The news anchor then did an introduction for Solange on camera that didn’t mention anything about 40/40, and only said that she has a “famous sister,” but is stepping out on her own like Ashlee Simpson.
Solange started the interview with “I have to say that was not a very professional introduction before. Please don’t tie me in to family and my brother in law’s establishment.”
The reporter look confused, looked off camera and answered, “I do apologize. I don’t know if we talked about your brother in law’s establishment. Are you talking about with TMZ?”
She answered, “No, just a few minutes ago,” and then you hear someone off camera say “that wasn’t live Solange, that wasn’t on TV.”
Then the anchor picked up very nicely, saying she apologizes again and bringing up a quote Solange gave to Billboard about not wanting to be compared to her sister anymore.
Solange talked about her album, which is a throwback to the 60s and 70s music she said she listened to with her mom when she was growing up. Solange was pretty pissy throughout the interview and just kind of talked in an annoyed monotone about her album. She’s going to have to work on that attitude if she wants to really step out of her sister’s shadow. You have to think that she would be more successful at becoming known as a singer if she would be gracious about it and say some bs like “it’s an honor because Beyonce is so talented, and I admire her.” Otherwise she comes off as the grumpy less talented one riding on her sister’s coattails and resenting it.
Like “26 year-old” Beyonce, it’s hard to believe that Solange is just 22. She seems much older. She is a mother to a nearly four year-old son, Daniel Julez, and says she brings him with her on the road with help from her family.
Thanks to Just Jared for the heads up on the video.
Yeah, I really do think the ages of this family have gotten screwed up – I seem to remember Solange being 16 when she got knocked up… and now she’s 22, and the kid is four? Very skecthy…
Also, it sounds like Solange needs a MAJOR attitude adjustment.
Ok, hate to be mean, but she looks like a transvestite. She should be grateful that people mention her relationship to her sister – it’s the only reason she’s famous at all
That clip is rich! Solange looked like she needed to extract a foot from her mouth.
Wow…..she is sooo independent and different from her sister 🙄
She’s really got her own personality and doesn’t take your crap 😐
She outstands with a one-of-a-kind fashion sense that has never been there before 😀
Solange: If you want to convice us how interesting and unique you are, the meany attidtude does not work.
Try talent. 😉
Kaiser, the age is fine (as far as I know). She was pregnant at 17 and gave birth when she was 18. Julez was born in October ’04.
She does come off bad in that clip.
What the hell is she wearing on her feet? They look like my slippers.
I would wear that dress though, if it were a tiny bit longer.
what an idiot. She isn’t at the DIVA level yet
awww poor girl..she was mistaken…
shit happens
That anchor wins the Patience Award for the week for her remarkable professionalism. I would have lost my job after telling Solange to shove it up her wannabe ass.
Well poor girl yet another individual that got cocky, just wait she’ll be brought down like all the rest. Prissy 22 year old needs some major attitude adjustment – oh well why does her behaviour suprise anyone.
@Princess – Oh, okay. My bad. Who was the African-American singer/diva who got knocked up at 16? It was some sort of scandal several years back… who am I thinking of? 😐
@Kaiser: There was this singer called Tamia, that’s the only one I can think of.
@Strawberry, Princess – I was probably just thinking of Solange and got her age wrong. My bad.
No worries 😉
Just proofs how insignificant she really is 😆
Yeah, solange sounds SOOOO boring in that interview with her expressionless face & voice. The only time she showed any personality was when she pouted: “I don’t think that was a very professional introduction waaa waaaaa… Don’t mention me and my sister at the same time waaa waaaaaa!”–(mimicking solange in a whiney voice) Too bad she sucks and the only thing people know about her is that her SISTER is famous. I guess I can see why that bugs her. Always playin’ second fiddle, eh Solangry. 😥
I don’t like beyonce and now I don’t like her snotty & boring sister. I DO like that reporter, though. She kept up that smile, even though you KNOW she probably wanted to slap solange upside the head(and THAT would have been awesome to see, btw).
Seems there is another princess. What do you do if someone has the same moniker?
Kaiser – It’s no problem, I wasn’t getting pissy or anything.
(Other) Princess – I didn’t know that there was another Princess here. I don’t post that much. It’s been forever since I’ve posted. My “P” is always uppercase though. 😉
My hat is off to that reporter! Talk about someone who can keep a cool head & keep the interview going despite a sour-puss, 8th tier celebrity attitude from Solange. Solange just demostrates why she will never have a career of her own. Hysterical!
OK…have just started posting the last couple of weeks. Wasn’t sure the protocol in this situation.
what a bitch
She is ugly and stupid.
Princess and princess – what you can do is sign up for a Gravatar here, then you’ll never have your posts mistaken for each others’ posts. Get gravatars, you guys! That’s what I’d do if I were you, that way you’ll never get each other’s posts confused. 😀
@Strawberry in Disguise – I’m a fan of Tamia (amazing voice! youtube her) and she was NOT pregnant at 17. She’s been married to Grant Hill for a while now, and she has a four year old and a new baby.
Maybe you mean Brandy? I think she was pretty young when she got pregnant, although not 17…Or you probably meant Solange, she had a (crappy) album out before this one, a few years ago.
What a flat effect. Get stuffed, honey, we don’t want to hear anything out of your obviously dumb, pissy mouth. Absolutely no flamin’ personality. And, who’s not being professional?
All she did was confirm her sister’s married, which I don’t think anyone has actually come out and confirmed!
This should be labeled: Solange confirms JayZ and Beyonce are married!
KVVU FOX5 is a Las Vegas station, not L.A.
That reporter was way too nice. These sattelite tour interviews are usually free to the news show in exchange for promoting a product, in this case that would be Solange’s CD, maybe that’s why.
Here’s my favorite video of a local newscaster mixing it up with a celeb via sattelite (it’s my market, so it’s even funnier to me) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYu6fpaNrBA
Thanks Snowblood. Working on it now.
Yeah Snowy!! 😛
princess,
Gravatar can be a little frustrating setting it up, but worth it. You can change your icon anytime.
Night everyone.
OMG, look at her shoes! I can’t stop laughing …
Here’s an unedited transcript of the interview:
Reporter: So who are you ?
Solange: Solange Knowles…
Reporter: No seriously, who the hell are you ?
Solange *louder*: Solange Knowles… I’m
Reporter: Who?
*Solange taps her nails angrily*: Solange, I’m Beyonce’s sister and…
Reporter: Oh, Beyonce’s sister- but you’re not Beyonce though, are you ?
Solange: No I’m…
Reporter: Not Beyonce, I know…. so who are you ?
😆
Alina, thanks for noticing. Made my night. I’m cracking up. That Solange, what a mess!
since beyonce is probably five years older than she claims to be, does that mean Solange is probably closer to the 25-27 age range? looks about right to me
Nice to see her say sorry after ripping the presenter a new asshole when she realised she was mistaken…….oh thats right…….the stupid stuck up bitch forgot her manners and put the diva act on – your only famous through genetics bitch – get over yourself!
The reporter handled this very well. I think Solange is tired of being compared to her sister and that’s why she reacted this way, granted she made a fool of her self.
Solange is very talented. She writes her own songs and has written songs for her big sister Beyonce. Beyonce can only sing, her acting is garbadge.
Listen to Solange’s album and you will see that she has talent.
Solange take it down a little. I know you get upset but you have to learn to control your self baby girl 😆
Solange that interview was truly a disappointment not only to yourself but to your family and the people of Houston. That reporter was highly polite and was only making a statement that you stepped out of Beyonce’s shadow you will never even almost be close to B acting like a child. You need to check yourself and re-evaliate your marketing techiques cause so far I know no one excited about your CD and moments like this will only make it worst!! Get it together
you know it sucks b/c there are so many people who are working hard with actual talent who would much better fit the bill but b/c she has a famous sis and brother in law she becomes famous b/c i bet she doesnt work half as hard as her sis did from the look of her attitude it seems like she thought it was supposed to be given to her. She need to get an attitude adjustment. What a Brat!!
too bad she’s being a diva when she’s not even in top50 yet. nasty girl!
How embarrassing. She should feel stupid and she needs to remember that when you’re in the public eye it only takes one mistake to make people hate you for the rest of your career. She needs an attitude adjustment considering her career hasn’t even taken off yet.
If anything this video gives us all a chance to see how patient the interviewer is with awkward situations and snotty, spoiled celebs.
This lame ass bitch! She obviously takes after her sisters diva attitude but Beyonce is 1,000,000 times more talented than her. She’s wack and ugly…she looks like gonzo. So what the 40/40 was closed she didnt have to get all bitchy with that reporter.Her last album sold less than 40,000 copies lets see what this one will sell for. An atleast when Ashley Simpson stepped out of Jessica’s shadow she didnt sound or act anything like her. Solange looks like a bad Beyonce impersonater. Same sound, same clothes and same dance style. Next time be original bitch and stop sniffing under your sisters ass crack.
I would get mad too if people kept on asking me about my sister’s life, like i don’t have a life of my own. If they want to know Beyonce’s business they should be asking beyonce not her. It’s like the media is pushing her talent a side, and acting like their interested in her music just to get information about Beyonce. Solange doesn’t want to be Beyonce she wants to be herself, and just because she wants to be known and be as famous as her sister it doesn’t mean she wants to be her. Every body wants to be known for being themselves and there’s nothing wrong with that. The only reason why people think she’s being selfish is because she’s beyonce’s sister, but if she wasn’t and was acting the same way right now about people asking her questions about her sister people would understand more about where she is coming from. 😡
Well Leah, Solange certainly made it clear that she’s not her sister. Beyonce isn’t a *itch…
why solange why??? she made herself look like such an idiot..but i’m like the other ones who mentioned this thanks for confirming jay-z and beyonce’s marriage.. trying to be so smart but is so stupid…:( if she took the time to see she already is her own person she don’t have to go through all of these measures to prove who she is.. she’s doing nothing but disappointing her son and her family dressing like a damn idiot.. wait til he grow up and see these crazy ass pics of her with all of those wierd outfits…but i have to give a big heads up to the reporter she did handle that situation with grace!!!!! 😆 😛 😀 😀
