After a lengthy silence and much speculation, Solange has finally spoken out on her marriage, amongst other things, in an interview with Essence magazine. Check out extracts from the interview below: ESSENCE.com: As you know there’s a lot of mystery surrounding your relationship with your husband, Daniel Smith, so let’s just go ahead and get that out of the way. Are you still married?
Solange Knowles: Well, I am no longer married, but I think it’s very important not to dish details. We are friends and we coparent our son. When he gets older I don’t want him to read anything about me saying anything about his father or vice versa. When there’s a child involved I think the less information given is best.
ESSENCE.com: Let’s address some of the rumors out there. Apparently, folks believe you left your husband for Lil Wayne. Is that true?
S.K.: (Laughs) That’s absolutely not true. Yes, we know each other but I absolutely did not leave my husband for him.
ESSENCE.com: There’s also been some buzz that you had cosmetic surgery—a nose job.
S.K.: (Laughs) Not true. I’ve heard that one, too. That one actually cracked me up. I mean if I got some surgery, I would wait until I’m older and pop out a couple more kids.
ESSENCE.com: So even if you had had cosmetic surgery, you wouldn’t be ashamed to admit it?
S.K.: No.
ESSENCE.com: What’s the craziest rumor you’ve heard about yourself?
S.K.: I think the craziest rumor was that my dad paid my son’s father $1 million to marry me. That was everywhere at one time, and that was really funny. I always joke that I wish we had it like that: “Here, take a million dollars, marry her…”

Your thoughts?
I like Solange. The Knowles are notoriously ‘shush’ with their info and I admire the fact that she came forward and admitted what we already knew
I just gained some respect for her with that first answer. I hope she holds to it.
HER DADDY MADE HIM MARRY HER BECAUSE HE DIDNT WANT HER TO HAVE A KID OUT OF WEDLOCK….U AINT FOOLIN ME….
WHEN YOUR SON GETS OLDER AND READ ABOUT U?…PUH LEASE…U ARE NOT A STAR, WHAT WILL HE FIND TO READ ABOUT U? LOL..wow u feelin yourself way too much
I can understand how you may feel solange , but honestly ur kiding ur self when say theses things. I knw and u knw ur dad thought it be a good idea to marry , if tho u thought u were to young. IT made knowles much happier about the situation , cause he wasn’t happy about u getin pregnat so young. So marriage was a suggestion which made you happy cause ur dad was happier. Unfortunately it wasn’t goin to last cause your heart wasn’t in marriage, you may have loved him but face it ur still young girl. Control is a powerful thing epecially when its coming from your family, its hard to say no.
