Kelly Rowland Is Officially No Longer Beyonce's Friend

MTV.com:

Destiny's Child sang on their 2000 hit "Independent Woman" that they depend on themselves to pay their own bills. Perhaps founding member Kelly Rowland is taking that motto to heart.

The singer announced in a joint statement Wednesday (January 28) with Matthew Knowles that the two are severing their working relationship. Knowles is Beyoncé's father and manages her, in addition to her sister Solange , and Destiny's Child. He also oversaw Rowland's career since she her first solo LP, 2002's Simply Deep.

"Mathew Knowles has been a positive influence in my career," Rowland said in the statement. "I have had great success under his guidance — both as a member of Destiny's Child and with my solo projects. Although we have decided to part ways professionally, the Knowles family and the entire Music World Entertainment team will always be my family."

Destiny's Child split in 2005 but have maintained the split is not permanent.

Of course this is all Beyonce's fault. Kelly never got a chance to shine on her own in Destiny's Child and Beyonce could've featured Kelly on one of her hit singles after she went solo--I mean that's what friends do, right? I say for her next record Kelly needs to record a diss track and put Bey on blast.
