Solange: "I Don't Care About Your Opinion Nor Do I Need Your Co-Sign"
Posted by Media Outrage on July 24th, 2009
Solange keeps her ear or should we say, eyes to the “net.” She took to her Twitter yesterday after numerous blog sites posted pics of her shaven head along with their stinging opinions. Here’s what she had to say
“listen. if. i. wanted. to. make. a. statement. i. would. have. twitpic’d. photo shoot. ect. i. was. simply. taking. my. son. to. school. stupid. paps. took. pic. ive. had. my. hair. cut. like. this. for. two. weeks. i. was. NOT. inspired. by anyone. but. my. self. I. HAVE. DONE. THIS. TWICE. IN. MY. LIFE. I. WAS 16. I WAS 18. did. not care about your opinion. then. dont. care. now. dont. need. your. attention. or. your. co-sign. dont. want. a. edge. up. or a perm. because. im not trying. to make this “a style” or a statement. i. just. wanted. to. be. free. from. the. bondage. that. black. women sometimes. put. on. themselves. with. hair. this. phase. of. my. life. i. want to spend . the time. the energy. and the money. on something else. not in the hair salon. im. not. mad. at . all of you. that have made your opinions known. and have sent negative. energy. my way. i expected this of you. you. have. the right to have. an opinion. so. do. i.
Mediaoutrage- You know what, we actually really FEEL Solange. Anytime she does anything different it is viewed as an attempt to steal away some of the spotlight Beyonce has. She is an original sista. We actually like the cut on her. Do your thang girl….

This DUDE is a joke..you ‘don’t care’ yet spend every second on twitter posting B.S…Don’t you have anything better to do with your time? Say for instance..spending time with your child? recording some music? something…anything? You’re an attention craving wh*re…you live off this sh*t and you are just downright PATHETIC!! And last but not least you are beyond hideous…and this new ‘do’ of yours is obviously a cry for attention…way to go moron!! At least the weave made you look somewhat feminine but this..nevermind I’m done =)

Why dosent she just enroll in a business school , get educated, and learn how to count Beyonce’s money!?!??!
It would save her the time and embarrassment on this dumb ass singing career and twittering she is doing!

Found this on another blogsite..buahahahaha
“Talk about backlash! Solange Knowles’ new haircut was documented yesterday afternoon despite the singer having a bald head for over 2 weeks… and boy did the public respond. It wasn’t all kind and Beyonce’s little sister couldn’t take it anymore. She spent the entire day yesterday tweeting her frustrations.”

Solange is looking good to me. I like the cut on her. WHen you have such a famous sibbling the media often times just takes shots at you for no reason. I’ve listened to her interviews and she seems pretty cool. I just like them knowles’ lol

Yes you do care; now the world knows that you and your sister were fronting; wearing weaves and making L’Oreal hair commercial telling the public how to have great looking hair like theirs.
I guess she wont be making anymore of those L’Oreal hair commercial

I’ve never quite understood why people throw so much hate at public figures. Now the ones who are out here acting a pure fool, that I do understand. Solange doesn’t bother anyone though. The paps follow her because she’s part of a famous family. The cut looks good on her and she’s really a pretty girl. Her music is alright. Not bad and nothing that makes me jump for joy either. Day in and day out I read nothing but NEGATIVE remarks here on MO. What’s the deal folks?

Fuck her. When you want the fame you have to deal with the bullshit that comes with it. That’s the price of fame.

First of all I can’t tell how she really looks with the new “do” because her face is partially covered with the big sunglasses, but it’s her hair, she’s grown so she can do what she wants with her it.
Guys, I don’t twitter…so what’s up with all the periods between her words.

@ Sumarrain,
Is that really Solange along with Beyonce in that L’Oreal commercial? At first I thought it was, then I thought it wasn’t.

Her and Cassie are talkin 2 much 2 each other! Not every female can pull off rockin a bald hairstyle, and no she didn’t pull it off.

Thanks a bunch Sumarrain. The commercial I saw Solange was only shown for like a split second that’s why I wasn’t really sure if it was her.

@Yvonne → U get 140 characters per post on twitter, so using all dem damn periods are unnecessary, cause u get to type less words and more post to get ONE point across. Then Agin she is a ‘knowles’ and u know dem folks SLO–ooo-OOOOW!!

For someone who doesn’t care, why’d you respond? And on Twitter at that?

July 24th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
You have to be able to accept the criticism with the praise Solange.

July 24th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
LOL. Thanks Ms.Behave. I guess that’s her way of still trying to be “different” even on Twitter.

Girl you heard Indie Arie song “I am not my hair” while standing in the mirror and started cuttin.
Get the chip off your shoulder and just play the damn cut!

I don’t like the look on her, but I respect her decision to do it and not care what everybody says.

July 25th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
Nice to see a well known sister confident enough to go without a weave.
[Reply]
July 25th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
Im feeling the cut on her. She and her sister are just naturally pretty women so there’s not too much they can’t pull off besides getting out of the line of fire of “haters” lol.

I completely dig it! I love Solange. People need to start looking at her for her talent & not just her last name. She always does her own thing and doesn’t conform to ppls expectations when it comes to music & style. U don’t have to have long hair to be beautiful Solo. ROCK THAT SHYT!
Signed, a SHORT~HAIRED thick redbone!

P.S. Her music is great! Her pen is ferocious! Just give her a listen guys, she’s dope.

I second everything MoneAlicia just said. I love this girl’s music. She’s very talented. SHe holds weight in her own lane.

She didn’t get a haircut. That is what she really look like underneath those lacefronts wigs she and Beyonce be wearing. Beyonce is bald just like her sister.
