Solange goes OFF on a news anchor who dared to tie her in with Jay Z’s failing establishment (I’m guessing it’s the one in NY where his staff is very unhappy with the Jigga). Solange asserted herself in a professional and mature manner.
She was absolutely within her rights to ask that the interview relate to her album “Sol-Ange And The Hadley Street Dreams” which is in stores now.
This video doesn’t show what set Solange off exactly. But hopefully we will get to see the full video soon.

YEAH, SHE WAS DEAD WRONG AND LOOKED STUPID AFTER THEY TOLD HER IT WAS OFF AIR.
THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK!
I love Solange! She’s not afraid to keep it real and say what’s on her mind. Love that about her.
SO SHE JUST CONFIRMED (SOMETHING WE ALLKNEW) THEY ARE (BEY Z) IS MARRIED…DIDN’T SHE SAY
“Please don’t tie me into my BROTHER IN LAWS establishment)
oh well still love her
I luv it! I just wish we had heard what set her off. Sandra go get the set it off portion of the video.
I interpreted this clip very differently. The anchor handled that professionally well also. Actually, the anchor seemed put off so to me there seemed to be a misunderstanding but I didn’t see where “solange goes off on the news anchor.”
i think i read somewhere that the news anchor tried to get solange to promote something of jay-z’s, or to say his name on the air, and she was very mad. that is rude though, VERY rude, solonge wasnt there to promote jay-z.. thats his and his wife’s job! you go solange!!!!
I know Matthew just died?!?!?! LMAO!!!
wow she told they ass ha ha her daddy gonna kill her
and beyonce to you spilled the beans ****
PAGESINADIARY…..
you are SO right everybody’s talking about how she told them off and she set them straight and what not, but she went off on the wrong person for something that the newscaster didn’t do and had no control over, then she looks like a dummy when the radom unseen white guy says..”uh….Solange that wasn’t on air” I love Solange just as much as you do, but Sandra, call a duck a duck when you see it cluck, er quack?
I don’t think she was saying don’t tie her to her brother in law’s establishment like that sandra lol you know she just hates when people try to ask her about them and their personal business. she was there to talk about her album not her sister and jay.
i think it was in reference to the 40/40 in Vegas…which was just announced it was up for sale and that broadcaster is in Nevada too…
On air/Off air something obviously was said and it set her off . . .glad she has the “balls” to say something.
You know, I am really surprised at Solange. While she is clearly upset with everyone talking about how she is Beyonce’s sister, she had to know that the comparison was going to be made. She was pissed at the Jessica and Ashley comparison. I know it must be difficult and I really like Solange for her individuality, but her backers should have informed her that this would happen and to not show that she is upset about it. The best way for her to distance her talent from her sister’s is to perform well, not only on stage, but also her interviews. You can show people much better than you can tell them.
ummmm, Solange made herself look dumb. Period. point blank. the interviewer tried to recover the situation but she insisted on upstaging the crazy chick at the DNC convention last night for the Dumb Chick of the Week Award.
OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH PAGESINADIARY:
All I have to say is: SHUCKY DUCKY QUAAAACK QUAAAAAACCKK!!
She is wildin’ because she knows she ain’t GOTS to be working. (MOOCHY) She is doing this so she ain’t bored. Get it right…
Bet, next time chick makes another album *blank stare* if she still relevant nobody won’t pay attention to her.Next time you want someone to promote you, think of what you did.
Dangit ! I can’t see the vid @ work
Gonna have to wait until I get home.
One of the producers (off the air mind you) wanted Solange to say something about Jay-Z or Beyonce - something along those lines. All the anchor did was read the teleprompter and reference another famous sister act - Jessica and Ashly Simpson.
Solange was just rude and what she did was very unprofessional. This girl has nothing under her belt except a failed first solo attempt and she is trying to redo herself. She needs to remember that as she gets on these press junkets.
She said the intro was unprofessaionl - it wasn’t. Just a standard intro. To me, this whole “alternative” sound is almost just as fabricatd as the one you claim Beyonce has. I mean, we saw the same thing w/ Ashley and Jessica Simpson. Older sis (Jessica) is mainstream - younger sister just has to come out as the “alternative” one to try and make it.
Don’t get me wrong - I like the snippets of music I’ve heard from Solange - but hopefully, she won’t wear out her welcome before she’s even arrived at the main party.
It seems like after they told her it wasn’t on air…she still had a little attitude behind it. Solo…that won’t help…you’ve got to have a thick skin in that busines. As I’ve said before, Beyonce’s not going anywhere, so she’s going to have to learn how to handle the situation a little better. Just saying don’t ask me about them is not going to do it. You’re going to get those slick reporters who are slick enough to slip something in there. She has to learn how to turn it around on them. I actually like how she handled herself in the interview at the festival when the guy is dancing on stage with her. She flipped it on that reporter. She probably was on some chronic nightcap type ish at the time. Solo- smoke a blunt before going on these interviews…it’ll help you mellow out so you won’t be bothered by those questions. LOL.
Just like i said before, she is so in a rush to “prove” something, that she’s acting like a rabid dog! She bit that lady’s head off for nothing..she looked like a damn big chin ugly azz jay leno look-a-like idiot. Ugly fake azz thang should be glad to be on anyone’s show in my opinion, and i know sandra doesn’t share this opinion, but i don’t like solange, i think she’s a big fake. She probably heard the woman say something behind the scene, perhaps something to the affect of this is beyonce’s sister up next, you know the one that’s married to jayz who owns the 40/40 club….the chick probably heard that, and jumped right on the lady as if she’s trying to prove something.
I feel her whole “im different” act is a total fake, and i feel she’s trying to be a hard-azz, and so forth, trying to make people think she’s the opposite of her sister. The knowles family don’t care how they get another dollar, just as long as another dollar comes, fame and fortune at any cost, so if i gotta make it appear i’m a total hard azz and not “perfect” like my sister, then so be it.
Fake cow can go somewhere…i’ll bet that whole news station talked about that dumb idiot when she left. Fake ugly broad…..
P.S…I wonder how happy the family is going to be now that she’s spilled the family beans….them fake people are full of secrets.
I can’t see vid till I get home but I heard the snippet on the radio.
First lol @ her calling Jay her brother in law. All the sneaky we aint talking, we aint wearing no rings mess went right out the window bc her lil azz can’t control her temper.
What I don’t get is if the part that pissed her off was said off camera and she heard that why is it she didn’t hear the real intro? Was she so mad that she blocked everything else out?
Shoot I didn’t even know her album came out yesterday. (Not that I’m buying it)
& just so she knows there is nothing I repeat nothing wrong with riding the coat tails of Bey and or Jay. They are two of the hottest people in the game right now. The more u talk about them the more people will be interested in you… ie this interview. Wait till the 2nd album to distant yourself… oh damn this is the 2nd one. Girl give it up nobody cares.
Stank Attitude!!! I guess the Knowles’ are all the same.
first off what channel is that with a full-figured african american woman as an anchor, I’m shocked at that and Happy as well! Why do i think im beginning to like Solanges new career, i really didnt like her at first. it seems shes really not listening to people who im sure wouldve wanted her to take a differnt approach with this album.
It’s good to be home, not much has changed. Solange needs to put the Gucci boot back in her mouth. Daddy Knowles is going to spank her for that and her brother in law won’t be happy. HAAAAAAAAA
Calling out…I mean shouting out your big sissy and brother in law $500
Not acknowledging that without big sissy…you’d be nowhere $800
Looking a fool on live tv Priceless
She thought she would make herself look good by blasting them on-air when she ended embarrassing her own self…LOL that was corny and unnecessary. Somebody tell her to wipe the eeg off her face and humble her little self….she didn’t even sell any CD’s yet and she’s already walkin’ around with an attitude??
egg*….typo
Alright Ms. Sol-Angel, let em know. Although she looked kinda foolish because the lady had no idea what she was talking about. BUT!!! who the hell ever asked her what they asked knew what she was talking about, and dont ask her those type of questions!!!
TMZ (I know, I know) has the full clip of the incident.
What secret did she let out? Dont we all know they’re married? Just because they wont say it out loud to please the fans/media, we already know
The anchor personalities are Monica Jackson and the guy commenting off camera is Jason Feinberg of Fox News Las Vegas they hold a very entertaining morning review from 7a-9a in the morning in Las Vegas. Solange really showed her age and immaturity in handling interviews. Now had been a white personality introducing her as Beyonce’s sis or whatever the case was, she would’ve sucked it up and politely let them know how unprofessional it was off camera but her black attitude showed and she felt compelled to go off because the anchor was black. Notice how she shut that big mouth of hers when Jason commented the intro was taped. She needs to go back to the studio because that hot mess she has out now is like her trying to reinvent the wheel, the 60s, 70s, 80s are gone honey, we need something fresh and you ain’t it. Another coon in the making….great!
Oops, my bad. I have no clue why I thought that wasn’t the full clip. Where is my medicine *looks around*
same haters, different day. keep doing your thang solange. people hate on you and your family because ya’ll are the most popular and richest black family in music right now. keep the haters talking. she was just being solange.
Sandra, I know you ridin’ Solange real hard, comparing her with her sis and all BUT they’re from the same mold. All this “don’t lump me in with my sis and brotha in law” ish coming from Solange is for her career ONLY. Personally, her and Bey seem very close, so all I’m saying is, there is NO fierce sibling rivalry going on, through it all I’m sure they stand united for the common goal….making the Knowles’ pockets thicker.
uhm…Solange was WHACK for that!!! That was very unprofessional (sp?) The interviewer didn’t even know what was going on. Girl get some business, that is what your handlers are for. Jumping bad in public is not cute when you’re 2nd fiddle as is.
and for those who don’t know…Solange is straight BITIN’ with all this I grew up on this….yeah right! so in the nineties when her parents were glamming Beyonce and them up, yall was listening to obscure sixties music!? gurl stawp.
If that woman had been fairer skinned…I highly doubt…
I remember 8 years ago, when she was still in high school and before her marriage, she had her own blog on her first official website…that girl was an airhead then and still is one now.
Sandra,
Just wanted to say that its not the NY 40/40 they are refering too. Jay has sold the Vegas location for a huge amount of money according to **** and the radio here in Va. I heard just this evening. As for Solange. I think she is alright. I mean cant she and Bey both be great ie.(MJ and Janet) Different, but both great artist.
I really think it’s premature to pass judgment without knowing what was said to Solange prior to going on-air. It’s apparent that whatever was said was offensive to her and she wasn’t made aware that she wasn’t on-air at the time of the statement. I’ll keep my opinion to myself until I have all the facts!!
yea solange was Rude! i think the anchor handled it very well
WAIT DID YOU ALL SEE SHE SAID BROTHER IN LAW
BROTHER IN LAW
BROTHER IN LAW,
THIS IS THE FIRST CONFIRMATION THAT HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT BEY BE MARRIED TO JAY
BROTHER IN LAW, SANDRA did you catch that???!?!?!??!
And back to the topic she kept it real and thats whats up, cant hate on her, LIKE SANDRA KEEP SAYING AND YOU ALL DONT LISTEN SHE IS NOT TRYING TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH That soon to be has-been BEYONCE And i love her for it
#39,
all anyone can do is pass judgment. none of us was there; so, we’ll never really know despite what any person actually present decides to ‘tell’ the public.
#39,
and that goes for most ‘new worthy’ items posted on blogs such as this one.
Solange just blew the cover of the Knowles family, as the common folk that they are; gosh she came off as a complete hoodrat on live tv.
@mimi08
you are hilarious and I totaly agree!!!!
she should have apologized to that lady because she was dead wrong. i can understand her not wanting talk about anything other than her album, but she could have handled this differently.
DAMN THIS IS THE SAME NEWSANCHOR THAT GOT INTO A FIST FIGHT OFF CAMERA A WHILE BACK WHEN SHE WAS WORKING AT WXYZ IN DETROIT WITH MORNING ANCHOR CAROLYN CLIFFORD
The scrap drew blood and required co-anchor Erik Smith to referee the brief but reportedly energetic bout over a festering personality conflict between the pair.
Only keen morning viewers, who might have noticed that Smith carried on alone during the late morning newscasts, suspected something was amiss. News director Bill Carey said he couldn’t comment on personnel matters.
So who got the decision? Award Clifford a technical knockout. Jackson was placed on indefinite administrative leave.
NOW DATS A HOT GHETTO MESS…SOLANGE LUCKY HER AZZ AINT GO OFF
Solange really did embarrass herself. She needs to learn how to deal w/the media better than that.
I have to agree with some of you in the reference of Solange being a bit rude. Her whole demeanor was a little arrogant, and her answers were dry and seemingly memorized. One thing I can say about beyonce is that she has a pleasant demeanor and is inviting to questions, if she choses not to answer she says so in a very respectable way. The way Solange came across, I wouldn’t even want to ask how her damn day is going….
haha! hell nawl girl! slow ya roll wottie.
damn she had an attitude. guess she had a bad day. i know she came off calm and it is good she speaks up BUT it would have been better for her to be more polite about it. remember you need to appeal to the public to sell albums sweetie. and beyonce sells not only cuz she’s super talented but she appears sweet (even if she may not really be). poor solo.
i want the album to do well…but will it? i think maybe not…
p.s. the news anchor woman did well during that. cuz i already know i would have been pissed at solange’s tone…LOL!
