Just when you thought the fallout from Solange Knowles' verbal lashing on the unsuspecting
Here's what happened initially; Solange was on a satellite tour last week promoting her current album, 'Sol Angel & the Hadley Street Dreams,' in various markets.
The 22-year-old singer appeared on the 'More' show, which is co-hosted by

She continued: "Please don't talk me into family and my brother-in-law's establishment."
The baffled host attempted to make nice with Knowles, despite being visibly confused by the singer's posture.
Moments later, a producer announced to the singer, "that part wasn't on TV."
What television viewers didn't know was during the commercial break prior to the segment, a KVVU producer asked the Houston-bred singer's rep if
Solange's publicist denied the request and asked that questions focusing sol
ely on her music be asked.
Once the story made national news, the singer, who starred in the film 'Johnson Family Vacation,' retaliated with a YouTube video justifying why she took the position she took with Fox 5 Las Vegas.
In her personal video, Knowles tells the station to "Stop jockin' Jay-Z," whom the singer confirmed is married to her sister during the initial interview by calling him her "brother-in-law."
Jay-Z and Beyonce have never confirmed their nuptials.
"I was furious," Knowles declared. "I felt very disrespected. I felt very offended that someone would try to bring up something totally irrelevant to basically reel me in. I stand by my reaction. I still say it was highly disrespectful and offens
ive. I'm always going to stand up and speak up for myself and for my family as well. So either love me or leave me alone for that."
If that wasn't enough, Knowles went on to insult journalists in general.
"I am disappointed with the level of journalism right now. I feel like it's at an all-time low," she offered.
Fox 5 'News in the Morning' anchor Dave Hall delivered a quite candid commentary about Knowles during his broadcast.
"No wonder Solange Knowles isn't the famous sister," Hall ranted. "Well she was promoting her new album, whatever its called. Nobody cares! It's gonna be in stores, not that any of you care. What a little brat!"
Hall also believes that the younger Knowles is capitalizing off her Grammy-winning sister, Beyonce.
"Quit gravy-training off your sister and do your own career," he proclaimed.
His co-host, Heidi Hayes, also offered: "She needs to learn some skills on the interviewing."

She won't be famous for her music. She will only be known because of her heritage. Not even just as Beyonce's little sister, but as Beyonce's bitchy little sister.WAY TO GO SOL..who?

If Beyonce wasn't her sister, her video never have debuted at #4...
and that interview witht the news lady was not perfessional, she can be authoritize and say what she needed to say without being bitchy.
all she needed to say was... hm let's see... NOTHING! and if they did ask, then she should have said, "that's not what im hear to talk about, this interview is about my album."
that's all it takes

Why does anyone care about her. She is terrible, has no talent and acts like a diva! Very sad when there are people out there with talent who just need a break. I guess the only way is to have a sibling already in the business.

Right above this box- it says to keep your comments relevant to this blog, how is this comment below relevant? The N is for the n-word. So hateful you people, but ain't it great you can hide behind the Internet anonymity? Bet you wouldn't say it to faces.
11. Another N heard from.

I think Monica Jackson showed IMMENSE class and professionalism while dealing with an obviously stupid and classless individual. I certainly won't waste my hard-earned money on So-dumb's album. She's got the personality of a cat turd.
Keep up the great work, Monica, and I'm sorry that you have to work with such dumbasses.

It is true if it wasnt for her sister she would have no career. I have seen her perform on TV and listened to her music...not much there. Just because your sister is something doesnt make you sh**. Just waiting for this album to flop and the record company drop her.
