Well it's an OFFICIAL wrap for girl group Danity Kane. This is no suprise in more ways than one. From Diddy dropped the bomb of kicking out Aubrey O'day and telling D. Woods she could leave, no one actually expected this group to stay alive after a hard hit like that. All pop acts have a time limit, it's just how much they're willing to sacrifice and how hard they plan on working to stay relevant.
However things are looking up for Dawn Richard. She was kept on by Diddy as a solo act and will also have a featured spot on Diddy's upcoming untitled album. It's too bad though with the success of Danity Kane's last two albums, the third might have just been the charm to solidify them as international pop stars. Now the countdown begins on how long it will be before Day26 breaks up.
Jennifer Hudson is finally back to work on the set of her music video for "If This Isn't love". She is also set to perform the National Anthem at this Sunday's Superbowl and at the Grammys the following Sunday. All this work is the perfect distraction she needs right now.
Yesterday news spread like wildfire about the confirmation of the professional split between Kelly Rowland and Matthew Knowles. Knowles, manager of Destiny's Child, the solo careers of the members and manager to second daughter Solange Knowles, has finally been smacked in his face. Below are two statements regarding the split
Kelly Rowland
“Mathew Knowles has been a positive influence in my career. I have had great success under his guidance — both as a member of Destiny’s Child and with my solo projects. Although we have decided to part ways professionally, the Knowles family and the entire Music World Entertainment team will always be my family.”
Matthew Knowles
“After a very positive meeting between Kelly Rowland and myself, we have amicably agreed to end our professional relationship. My company, Music World, will continue to manage Destiny’s Child as a group. As an artist Kelly has incredible talent and I only wish her the best. We will always be family first and foremost, and as a dad I only have love for Kelly.”
All I have to say it's about time. Those statements seem so fake. Of course with public statements you have to have some sort of dignity and class but I know inside Knowles is pissed as hell and Rowland is smiling from ear to ear. As time progresses we'll see if Kelly's poor performance as a solo artist really had to do with Knowles being her manager.
