DCRumours can officially report that Solange Knowles is no longer signed to Interscope/Geffen Records.
This news is no shock to me – quoting a song from Solange's 'Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams' CD, 'I Told You So' – as this column originally reported that the label intended to part ways with Beyonce's little sister last April.
Our previous story caused a firestorm of backlash from both Solange and her father/manager, Mathew Knowles.
At the time, Knowles sent over this unedited statement: "Our joint venture with Music World and Interscope/Geffen/A&M is very much in placed for Solange. It's very disappointing in recent days the amount of false statements in the marketplace from Solange being drop to me accused of being Kelly Rowland's father."
Additionally, Solange took to Twitter to blast us by writing: "Ren and Stimpy "you stooppid idioots part 19″ lol. Today, April 7, 09 I am still on Music World/Geffen/ Interscope records..."
There was also a lot of behind the scenes begging and pleading to have the story killed and removed, nonetheless it was true all along.
Denials aside, we have learned that the label parted ways with Solange about 30 days after our initial story ran.
"They just waited for the buzz to die down and quietly ended their relationship with her," a source close to the label told us.
Though Solange has been currently recording new music for her third solo CD, that music is being recorded independently as she has yet to ink a new deal with another label.
Maybe she'll title that CD, 'I Apologize' and dedicate it to me!
We have reached out to Music World Entertainment for a new comment on this story – though since they lied once, I'm sure they'll lie again.
Here's what they had to say: "Solange felt it necessary to go with a smaller, independent label that focuses more on the alternative genre, one that reflects her music style and artistry. Solange is working on a new album and the label will be announced shortly. The relationship with Interscope is excellent and the current album, 'Sol-Angel and the Hadley Street Dreams' is still being worked through the Music World/ Interscope joint venture with consistent weekly sales."
Solange's twitter reads:
Knowles said: "Although it's been a wonderful journey and experience at Interscope Records, after truly recognising what's important to me as an artist, I decided it was time for me to continue my path on a more independent platform.
I thank Ron Fair and Jimmy Lovine for believing in me as an artist and supporting my journey... and have nothing but respect for the Interscope family.
I'm excited about continuing to dive in, experiment and creating music and art with no boundaries, fears or expectations. Gonna be fun folks.
So basically you lied bitch... another lie on the knowles already full list of em. I might take note of actually how many lies they have come out with...
