Kelly Rowland: Label “Let Me Go”, Bey Was My Only Friend

kellyrowland Kelly Rowland is opening up about everything from her split with Matthew Knowles to her friendship with Beyonce and a possible Destiny’s Child reunion. The singer gave an interview to Entertainment Weekly as she prepares to release two new songs, “Grown Woman” and “Rose Colored Glasses.”

Here are some key excerpts from the article:

On her relationship with Beyonce:

“We were always civilized. That’s what I’m most proud of. From the rumors to the lawsuits to false accusations, it was really tough.”

“We were strong because we had each other. There were times when I couldn’t even be strong enough, so I had B. She was the only thing I knew. She was my only friend.”

On why Matthew Knowles saying there won’t be a possible Destiny’s Child reunion upset her: “Because it came from HIM, it didn’t come from US. I was like, ‘what’s that about? But, I don’t care. I talked to the girls about it, and we’re straight. That’s all I care about.”

On whether she thinks a Destiny’s Child reunion will happen: “if the fans wanted it to happen.”

On what happened with her former label, Columbia Records. (note: when split was announced a press release originally reported release was mutual.) “In all honesty, they let me go. The records that I put out probably didn’t perform as well as maybe they wanted them to,” she shares. “We live in an industry where you’ve got to bring in money. You can’t be pushing out so much money and not bring anything back. I get it.”
