Bijonsina sestra na svom Tviter profilu objavila je niz statusa o tome kako ju rasni problemi u muzičkom okruženju i dalje čine „emotivnom“ i „iscrpljenom“.

Ova R&B pevačica u tvitovima progovara o tome kako je muzička industrija „izgrađena kamen po kamen na leđima, ramenima, srcima i bolu crnaca“ i proziva novinara New York Timesa Džona Karamanika koji je okarakterizirao Solanžone prethodne komentare o R&B-u kao „ugriz ruke koja te hrani“.

Debata se zakuhala oko njene ljubavi prema pevačici iz Missisipija Brandy Norwood čiji su albumi, prema njenom mišljenju, dobili nepravedne kritike od ljudi koji ih ne razumeju.

Solanž bi trebalo da objavi svoj treći album koji je još pre šest meseci opisala „gotovo završenim“. Već je objavila i pesmu „Rise“ koja progovara o policijskom ubijanju i protestima u Fergusonu i Baltimoreu. Poslednje što je izdala bio je EP „True“ 2012. godine.

The music business was built brick by brick off the backs, shoulders, heart ache and pain, of black people, and everyone is just exhausted.

Last two days has brought up so much emotion, recalling when it was made a joke by "indie white guys" that I brought up Brandy album cuts

When to be honest, don't you ever dare speak that 6 letter name, without understanding the value. The blasphemy.

Ps: JonCaramanica
Don't you EVER tell a Black woman, not to "Bite the hand that feeds you" while speaking in reference to white people.
