Sassy Kelly Rowland made headlines last week with her daring new photoshoot for YRB magazine. The pictorial’s accompanying article has now surfaced, and sees the 29 year old not hold back on any topic – not even when it comes to controversial former manager Mathew Knowles.
Check out what the Grammy winner had to say after the jump…
“It was a decision years in the making for me, and finally getting to that point and doing it,” she says of her split from Daddy Knowles. “Don’t let anybody dictate who you are and what you want to do. Like, it’s so easy to. You have to know how incredibly incredible you are. And that goes without the music industry. Everything that we do in life, we have to know what we’re bringing to the table.” {Source}

Preachhhhh!
FLOP LOOKING FOR ATTENTION
why is this b**** doing promo when she doesn’t even have an album on the way.
GET TO THE STUDIO AND STAY THERE. BEYONCE NEVER TALKS ABOUT HOW MUCH SHE HATED WORKING WITH DESTINY’S CHILD AND HOW INCOMPETENT YOU ALL WERE.
Yeah Incredible flop.I think Matthew was a good manager,This is not his fault if she is flopping ..look at Commander
Agree with @Kevin.
@Ms. Rowland: Bit*h…shut your f*ckin’ mouth! At last, who the f*** are u now? FLOP
I AGREE 100% with Kevin..
Funny though, MOTOWN IS DICTATING YOU…
No Matthew or Beyonce and she still a damn flop with no album in sight with s***** singles and videos. DEATH @ anything Kelly has to say and @ TGJ for being delusional f****** supporting her.
haters ……..”eye roll”
LOL AT THE B STANS, WE ALL KNOW MATTHEW ONLY LOOKED OUT FOR BEYAWNCE EVEN SOLANGE COULDNT GET A LOOK IN. MAYVE WHEN B IS 59 SHE WILL GROW UP AND STOP LISTENING TO DADDY 24/7.
Haters!…..Yes Kelly girl preach….and who said see Commander….you are a fool….Commander is number 9 on the UK charts….what do you mean she is a flop?….you know you will never half of what she has accomplished in life!…KELLY SHAKE THEM HATERS OFF
while i do believe matthew was partially responsible for her past flops, she can’t blame him now. she’s no longer under his management, so…
Oh, Ms. Smelly Flopland! You’re so silly!!
Insecure Beyonce fans…..get a f****** life and stop hating on anyone that appears better in poise, speaking and in every other thing than Beyonce….if it is not Kelly it will be Ciara…B stans are disgusting
You idiots are confusing her split from Columbia/Music World for Daddy Knowles in particular. Yeah, he is part of the reason why she hasn’t been very successful but she isn’t just blaming him. If him at all. SMH @ You people’s stupidity.
and just so u’d know her past performance does affect her present work, why do u think radio is reluictant to play her songs in US no matter how good it is, cus they dont believe in her meanwhile first single of likes of rihanna, beyonce seem to do very well just cause of their name and if dey not been on break for too long, if kelly changed her name and released a tight record to d radios, they would prob show much interest so if matthew has left a dent on her but i believe she can overcome
Kelly=irrelevant flop b****
I have to give it to these Bey stans, they stay on their job! Too bad Beyonce will never care about your unneccessary bashing of other artists on every blog.
As for Kelly, I agree with this statement. Very classy. She didn’t bash Mathew or her label in it.
Good luck to Kelly and all, but one question Sam and Trent: How come you are quick to bash Rihanna and Christina Aguilera on their work when Kelly’s projects are constantly delayed and don’t sell very well?
You haters make no sense at all. Matthew and Beyonce did a lot of damage to this girl’s career, and it’s not like she can just bounce back so easily. She has to start from scratch, and I think she’s doing quite well over at Universal Motown. Hell, she scored an international #1 Smash without a damn record deal and earned a grammy. She must be doing something right–somebody’s checking for her!!! Some of you are just so ignorant and stupid and look for a reason to hate on her. That’s getting really old.
LMAO Sam and trent is so obsessed with Rihanna that they shoved this article underneath hers to get attention. LMFAO they cant get enough of Rih can they?
well im nota Beyonce stan and i agree with them…..Kelly does not seem to know what direction she wants to go or even get a first official single released…Ole girl keeps going back in the studio trying to find a hit…..Its to the point thats nobody really cares except this site and a few drama queens….I dont like none of the songs i heard urban/dance genre.
IF KELLY CANT GET A ALBUM NAME AND STICK TO IT I FEEL SORRY FOR HER…that should be easy…..Kelly do yourself a favor and get into acting!
GOOD FOR HER.

LMAOOOO @ BEYONCEVSTHEWORLD. The death of me must be your mission lool!!
It’s quite funny to see her flopping her ass out. First of all, I love Kelly Rowland. But her fans always said Matthew Knowles was the reason for her unsuccesful career. Looking at her now, she isn’t doing as good as during Matthew’s period.
KELLY GURL BYE GIRL, FLY GIRL …………..THAT’S ALL I M GONNA SAY.
DAMN HOW DID KELLY TALKING ABOUT HER LIFE AS A SOLO ARTIST END UP BEING A BASHING SESSION SHE NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT BEYONCE AND TO THE ONE THAT SAID BEYONCE HATED DESTINY’S CHILD BECAUSE OF INCOMPETENCE WHERE DO U GET YOUR INFO FROM HER POPS IS THE MANAGER IF SHE DIDNT WANNA RECORDS WHY DID SHE TAKE TIME OFF AND THEN COME BACK? COME ON GUYS THIS IS NOT A BEYONCE WORLD
That’s true Kelly, but you are not doing any better without Mathew Knowles. I mean all those push backs you are having and flopping singles arent a good look.
Honestly Kelly was just speaking her mind and I commend her for that.
And I think people are taking this comment way out of proportion?
And what the f*** do beyonce got to be insecure for?… Insecure over kelly? for what?
Anyways we will see in 2011 when her album comes out… Was it a smart decision or is it the truth that stardom as a soloo artist was never for her?
That was a lot of saying nothing.
she is so inspirational.
as is the struggle she has dealt with.
Well said Kelly. Do you!!!
Kelly will do great things with her new album. She’s setting up everything properly. She is being cautious in how she handles everything. The few singles she’a released have been great. Kelly can sing, she’s talented. Lol at all of the bitter Beyonce stans. U people are terrible. Everybody knows that Bee’s father only cared about her and her career. Kelly is telling it like it is. She would’nt go anywhere while she had him on her roster. It was time for her to move on. She seems so much more happier.
I want for her to be very successful, Kelly is successful in her own right. She’s already doing very well in Europe. Keep it up Kelly. I don’t see why anyone would wanna work with Mr.Knowles to begin with, we all see how all of his other artists fair whose name isn’t Beyonce. Smart move Kelly and for that i think you’ll earn this >SUCCESS.
I love how the Beyonce fans are quick to defend her daddy but don’t talk about his apparent dogging Beyonce’s own mom having a child by another woman. Where were the Beyonce fans when Tina was dogged out, exactly.
“It was a decision years in the making for me, and finally getting to that point and doing it,”
Isn’t this the girl who cut off long term friends for Mr Knowles, and then slagged off there singing abilities in Vibe magazine (along with Beyonce) some years ago?
So how lng in the making was it Kelly?
@RJJ12
Sit the hell down c***! What the hell does that negro’s personal life have to do with the music? Absolutely nothing! Therefore no one gave a damn and further more get this…HE’S NOT A GOT DAMN CELEBRITY!
AFTER EVERYTHING MATHEW AND BEYONCE HAVE DONE FOR HER ! SHE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO UNGRATEFUL. SHE NEEDS TO STAY IN HER DAMN PLACE ,U KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO GIRLS WHO SPEAK OUT OF TURN IN THIS INDUSTRY …………………….
THEY FLOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND SHE WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!

Yeah, she’s ungrateful… Kelly got everything she has from Beyoncé and Matthew… Now she just try to looking for attention…. She isnt special..Shes flop. Her voice is not good.
i agree with jamie. Bey n Daddy Knowles stomped on this gurls career …. wat makes u think she is gonna bouce back so effortlessly? she didnt even bash him. yawl bey stans r jus out of control, yawl probably worship the devil for bey to! Ms. kelly was a good ass album n she didnt even get the rite promo for it but i jus hope this album takes her to new heights!
sincerely the one and Lewis ungrateful after what they have done for her, are you serious? sick?, they began their careers together, ok so the suffering she has also lived, and she has a voice so do not come to talk of what nIMPORTANT.
you fans of beyonce and kelly you suffer for nothing, they will hate themselves forever, and even kelly matthew no grudge because she knows it to be beyonce forward to please tina.
KELLY IS THE DAUGHTER OF MATTHEW born out of wedlock, so he had to put beyonce forward to appease the anger of tina, you’re so blind, they do not detest while you’re there to scream and say b*******
matthew kelly loves his daughter, why he did not refuse and ask for it to come live with him, and Tina Kelly also likes the evidence it has taken as his own daughter, but remains either that beyonce is also her daughter, while her like any mother would want to put her daughter in front.
and then the two have a different style, beyonce always dreaming of fame, money, and she does everything to get there like selling her virginity to the highest bidder mr jay-z, kelly, while the only thing she wants is sing and damn, trophies, and the two get along very well and remains a family.
if tina to file for divorce now that she got sick of it again the same thing 29 years ago, it was too and especially here they are now known.
no one knows anything about the kelly family, her mother who she even stayed in the shadows to avoid being asked questions, Kelly said that his father beat his mother and she has never known c east of anything, you really think a father he would not seek to see her daughter all the time or even a family member of Kelly’s father is saying.
you without you wasting your time, they do not detest, beyonce and kelly love hugely more than you can imagine,
even today in the shadow matthew monitors his daughter, he gives some tips kelly, kelly is that she became an artist who is more appreciated outside of USA, and beyonce is established in america, it happens, kylie minogue the evidence is more appreciated elsewhere in Australia and she likes the most to her is not to be forgotten in the usa and it never will
AND THOSE WHO SAY THAT IS A FLOP, THE WORLD is not just U.S., THEN HERE IF SHE DOES NOT RETURN TO THE CHARTS IN, OTHERWISE IT’S A REAL CELEBRITIES AND A GREAT DIVA IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE Wc GENERATION AND ITS A GREAT VOICE
THEN DO NOT TALK AS IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING TO INDUSTRY OF THE MUSIC
evidence would not flop a record company that invests in it, they know that in Europe and the world people buy records, she sell all of his records at least 3 million of the world, so if is a flop you can do it?
really why are these people really takin up for beyonce like she is paying their bills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i mean really i love beyonce and kelly but lets let kelly get her shine too…….. please grow up people…. esp the beyonce world we all know she is fab!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The more I hear from(of) her, the more I dislike her! I’m going to enjoy dismantling this 30-something-year-old X back-up singer! …’Might have to “take a number” though, Beyonce/Rihanna’s supporters will-first, have-at-her! ; – 9 (WINK)
With Lady Gaga “now coming-for Beyonce,” Camp-Knowles/Carter won’t leave anything to chance! They won’t allow her 30-something-year-old X back-up singer to use the now-evident backlash against Beyonce to gain an audience; never-the-less, this’ll make for a “palate-friendly sitting..!!”
…I’ll be there, the one who “squeezed-off the kill-shot”; then sending this skinny, yet heavily-cellulite thighed bald-headed hack back to Europe!
X,Y,”and Z”
as a kelly fan she need to go back to besy father mangement and lmao at pepole again act like they know what happend to them
I’m so glad Kelly grabbed her career by the horns and broke out from under Mathew
@X,Y,”and Z”
What is wrong with you…? Really, really wrong…
Kelly has not accused daddy knowles for being the cause of her flops!!!! stop saying that!! she is saying that she wasn’t free to be what she wanted to be.stop.now she has much more freedom and , we can see it!!!
@Bobby from Bulgaria —
“What is wrong with you…? Really, really wrong…” <– Are you asking, or are you stating/accusing? In any case, weren't you the one who called me a…"racist" for stating my opinion on/bout "The White Rapper…??" You're a hypocrite, if not a racist!!! And don't tell me that you have black-girl friend or whatever. A white man can sleep with black women, yet-still be racist!
…So what…"are my ills..??" Why should I, support someone who does NOT support me? Not only is Beyonce's 30-year-old Xback-up singer, "TGJ's most-promoted artist," but she'd also said "Orlando Bloom, and men who look like him, are the world's most beautiful men." So why should I support her? When she sings, she sings to YOU, and men who look like you; not to me! …Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with that, but don't expect MY support – at the VERY-least!
For that very-same reason, I won't support Halie Berry, Paula Patton, K-Michele, the aforementioned 30-year-old back-up singer, Ciara(?) or Melanie Fiona. They don't "rep-for me"….f*** them!
Bob, I have friends in I.T., 'bout 47 who I'd called on to support me when I had first set-up 'Team-Chris'; this was not-long after Feb 8th-09. We went from blog-to-blog, reppin' for Breezy. Those very-same friends, and associates, I'll now call-on to help me throw-acid upon this marginally-talented 30-something-year-old X back-up singer; and her sort..!!
Let me give you a current and "naked example" of "YT in all his glory" – 'Takers' is a BoxOffice success, a resounding and absolute one. The primary stars, yet wanted nothing to do with it AFTER they collected their checks: Matt Dillon, Haden Christiensen, Paul Walker outright wanted nothing to do with it, or were just…"conveniently unavailable."
So, the head of Sony film marketing(and I quote) "marketed Takers on the back of T.I./Idris Elba/Chris Brown". There were no white faces in the marketing/promotion of 'Takers'(nor any black female, Zoe Saldana was…"unavailable..!!"). But NOW, if you go to the different film/movie industry-insider blogs/sites, suddenly 'Takers' is "a Matt Dillon film"; "a Haden Christiensen film"; "a Paul Walker film". …Truth-be-told, none of the aforementioned wanted ANY to do with it!
But, as of yesterday, Friday, Sep 17th, 2010, 'Takers' has returned $50,276,064(DOMESTIC). This is a movie that was produced by black-folk, marketed by black-folk and supported by…black-folk! Yet, here you come, claiming credit for what's not yours: "YT, in ALL his glory….!!"
…You did it with Rock and Roll, you did it with Jazz music, and "The White Rapper", with aid of/from a reactionary near-fascistic euro-centric hegemonizing-media, will NOW do it to rap/hip hop! (though, the jury is still-out! Let's see the numbers Wayne does, upon HIS return home!)
X,Y,"and Z" — OUT…!!!!
@ARJUN
Sit the f^ck down c***! Mathew’ed be damned if he produced something that looked like Kelly. His are pretty and cute WITHOUT the damn wigs,weaves & extras. Kelly…not so much.
Lol ungrateful ? For what sitting in the backround, and not receiving ur due, because ur greedy a** manager only cared about his daughter’s success. Of anything they should have been grateful that she stayed long as she did. She knows she deserves better. Mathew was holding her back.
@X,Y,”and Z”
OK, I get it… So you’re bitter and you’re hating on some black women that supposedly liked white or hispanic men…??? And they don’t like blacks??? Did they say so???
I think that you’re the one being really fascistic about everything around you, giving too much attention to people’s skin color and whatever…
Can’t you just chill down a little and just relax… 🙂
She has said over and over that she wasn’t good enough or ready at the time (check youtube…yo’ll find the interviews) as much as you like her, live showing from her show that her voice ain’t as polish an controled as bey…so no beyonce an matt had nothing to do with her floppin, if anything they stood by her thru those hard time…and when she dropped matt her record (colubia) label dropped her…well she can’t blame bey and matt for her flops now can she??? An truth be tol if it wasn’t for matt holding bey over the record labels head (you frop kelly and bry will leave too) they would have dropped her and you would have never heard Ms Kelly (the album)…
My bad on the typos…I got fat fingers lolz
its lame for beyonces fans to come looking for kelly’s stuff to try bring her down! just u commenting shows she is a threat, yes she is watch out things are changing, we are tired of beyonce, kelly is refreshing, time up for them putting her down, now we know she is a better singer than ! be fans do get worried kelly is big ! she is soo good! ur hating coz u know its true that why ur here writting, if she wasnt competition u wouldnt heve been! bey days are gone! go kelly ur a diva , a superstar and no one will ever take that away from u. u can write all u want while kelly still sells
