Twenty-one year old Beyonce baby sis Solange Knowles sat down with Essence Magazine to discuss her divorce from one-time teen husband Daniel Smith, single motherhood, and her sophomore album.
ESSENCE.com: As you know there’s a lot of mystery surrounding your relationship with your husband, Daniel Smith, so let’s just go ahead and get that out of the way. Are you still married?
Solange Knowles: Well, I am no longer married, but I think it’s very important not to dish details. We are friends and we coparent our son. When he gets older I don’t want him to read anything about me saying anything about his father or vice versa. When there’s a child involved I think the less information given is best.
ESSENCE.com: So just to clear things up, how did you two meet?
S.K.: We met at a high school party through mutual friends. He was in high school and I was 13 and in middle school. We were together seven years, so it wasn’t just some random guy. We were basically high school sweethearts.
ESSENCE.com: Do you have any regrets about the situation? Did you feel forced or pressured to get married?
S.K.: No, I think every decision has made me who I am today. I’ve embraced everything because I know that only God can give life, no one else. I’m happy that I have a beautiful, wonderful, amazing child who’s made me a better person.
ESSENCE.com: Speaking of which, let’s talk about little Daniel Julez. How old is he now? Is he talking?
S.K.: Oh gosh, yes, he’s more than talking and has a smart mouth already. He’ll be 3 this month.
That was a kickass article. What do I do now?

If she did not get divorced to be with lil wayne, why in the world is they in this picture together. she is no competition to trina or nivea, so lil wayne wont be there for long for sure. trina is the best thing that happened to lil wayne. and another thing, why do the pretty artists go for the ugly rappers, with exception to ashanti and monica. jayz is too ugly and lil wayne looks like a grimlin even though they both can rap. what about the fine nelly, chingy, ludacris, young buck, or even rocko. these rappers compliment a woman’s beauty. being with jayz or lil wayne just make people wonder if the ladies are for the money, because the looks are definetely not there.
