Solange Knowles Shows That Class Can’t be Bought

I am always happy for the success of others, but as a child growing up in Jamaica there are a lot of things my mom taught me. One of them was that ‘Manners take you through the world” and another, “Money don’t buy class.”

If you want to be a celebrity, you know that you will be in the public eye and what that entails. So, by all means try to separate your private life from the public, but please show some class in the process. A video from a Fox 5 More interview showed Miss Knowles accusing an interviewer of being unprofessional. Unfortunately for Solange…excuse me – Miss Knowles - the discussion she lambasted the reporter about wasn’t even part of the interview being aired. I wouldn’t even have been bothered if Solange had apologized when she realized that she didn’t have any reason to get in a tizzy. Wasn’t she prepared for just about any questions surrounding her famous sister and her husband, Hip Hop mogul, Jay Z?

I don’t know who the reporter was, but she showed class and professionalism throughout the whole thing. Despite not even knowing what Solange was going on about, she remained polite. She is a credit to Fox 5. Good job on her part.

Come now, Solange Knowles, take a page from your FAMOUS big sister’. I have always seen Beyonce being a lady and very nice to the press on the public – not saying she doesn’t have her bad days. But you know what, she has earned her stripes – you on the other had aren’t there yet. In an old interview, possibly years old, Beyonce once said that she has an inner diva that appears onstage, but “Offstage, I’m a person who believes in principles and I treat people like I want to be treated.”
