Sad day for the Knowles family, Solange was dropped from Interscope/Geffen Records. There were a couple of rumors going around about this back in April but of course the Knowles camp shut that down quick. We’re pretty sure it’s hard for them to have a success story and an EPIC FAIL in the same household.

BV Buzz can officially report that Solange Knowles is no longer signed to Interscope/Geffen Records.

BV Buzz’s previous story, back in April, caused a firestorm of backlash from both Solange and her father/manager, Mathew Knowles.

At the time, Knowles sent over this unedited statement: “Our joint venture with Music World and Interscope/Geffen/A&M is very much in placed for Solange. It’s very disappointing in recent days the amount of false statements in the marketplace from Solange being drop to me accused of being Kelly Rowland’s father.”

Additionally, Solange took to Twitter to blast this columnist by writing: “Ren and Stimpy “you stooppid idioots part 19″ lol. Today, April 7, 09 I am still on Music World/Geffen/ Interscope records…”

Denials aside, BV Buzz has learned that the label parted ways with Solange around May.

“They just waited for the buzz to die down and quietly ended their relationship with her,” a source close to the label told us.

Though Solange has been currently recording new music for her third solo CD, that music is being recorded independently as she has yet to ink a new deal with another label.

BV Buzz reached out to Music World Entertainment for a new comment on this story – though since they lied once, I’m sure they’ll lie again.

Here’s what they had to say: “Solange felt it necessary to go with a smaller, independent label that focuses more on the alternative genre, one that reflects her music style and artistry. Solange is working on a new album and the label will be announced shortly. The relationship with Interscope is excellent and the current album, ‘Sol-Angel and the Hadley Street Dreams’ is still being worked through the Music World/ Interscope joint venture with consistent weekly sales.”

Getting drop is probably why Solange really cut her hair off. They say some women cut there hair when they are going through negative situations. Well, Solange… it looks like this was the reason for your rebirth.

    I mean , I can’t help

  • Rai

    Well she did tweet last night or more like early this morning, that “she decided” to leave Interscope. I kinda felt like it was more like a Drop move. I think she will do good on an independent label instead of a label that was probably trying to change her image.

    Soso is nono mo. Poor child. Going bald couldn’t even save her.

  • leah

    she is wack and tacky

  • leah

    everybody cant be a beyonce

  • Bossip is Lame!

    Solange needs to pursue another career separate from what Beyonce is doing. In music she will always be compared to her more successful more beautiful sister. She has the personality to pull off a successful reality or comedy show. She should pursue that or a college degree in business. But, she needs to get out of the niche her sister has conquered. She’ll always look like a knockoff Beyonce, just like Marlon looks like a knockoff Michael. Best wishes to her tho’.

  • gg

    WHO CARES

  • http://www.k.com noelle

    Her situation just got worse and worse. Jay should sign her. He helps everybopdy

  • Niasia

    I liked Solange’s album!!!

  • http://www.k.com noelle

    CAN SHE HANDLE ROC NATION??? Hmmmm

  • The Bear…YES I’m BACK

    Even though personally I don’t check for secular music I think Solange is extremely talented and she stays on the cutting edge so she should just go indie and keep a bigger piece of her pie.

  • tj

    She is so attention hungry. Like she clearly just lives in beyonce’s shadow. I would cut her some… some slack if she weren’t so egotistical. I can’t handle that.

  • white male

    i guess no one wanted to buy an album with someone sitting in a grocery cart on the cover

  • tina

    I’m sure you meant to write “dropped” and “their hair”. Come on, please start proofreading!

  • FASHIONISTA

    HUH? I HEARD SHE “WANTED” TO BE RELEASED FROM HER RECORD LABEL NOT “DROPPED”!!!!

  • http://deleted young,fab, and black!

    Solange can not sing! I repeat! SOLANGE CAN NOT SING! thank god! she horrible. I purchased that album and bhrought it back to target and told them the cd would not play. Her nasal like voice and squeaks is nothing artistic, it’s actually talentless! The girl got a ego like a multi platnium selling artist, but she went wood on her last album. She rides on her sister’s coat tail, and that’s what keeps her in the game. If you want real ol skool rock and R&b the british do it better. Amy Winehouse, Adele, and Duffy! they are great quality artist in the same genre. These ladies can acyually sing. Solange can ride on her I am so unique and wear all the clothing that comes out of Elle Magazine all she wants to, but the chick is talentless. She chops off her hair and now more people care! I care about her finding her true calling! and it’s not music!

    I would have thought the Knowles’ family would have had their own record label by now, so this wouldn’t be an option.

  • mel

    Solange wanting to be released ah hah ha hah hahahahahahahahaha

  • Focused1

    Sad day my ass, Matthew made sure Kelly was dropped and blocked from signing to Interscope, the same label Solange was on. Now the same thing is happening to his daughter. This is only the beginning of the karma The Knowles is long overdue for.

  • BK

    i didnt wanna like solo, i thought she was wack, then i heard the album, i was wrong, solo is the truth. most real artist dont make a big splash in the mainstream, she is quality not quantity, cant wait for album# 3!!!

  • TianaVentee

    That’s sad, her last album was actually really good. I liked it WAY better than that Sasha Fierce sh’t.

  • rainbowrabbit

    I liked Sol-Angel. That was a good CD in my opinion.

  • http://Bossip Tyler

    Did they really give Solange a chance? Damn she had one album in adult hood that did just as good as the rest of the flopping album.So why didn’t they give her another chance to improve. Now days you have to jump right in and go plat I guess. I was really feeling like her next album was going to be better than the last one. In my opinion it was a good album.

  • Supreme

    Solange is a great artist! She needs a better team and better promotion. I still listen to her last cd all the time. I cant wait to hear her new music!

  • JUDY

    Solange should have never been signed in the first place, its not like she can sing. I hate when the little sisters and brothers try to ride the coattail of their famous sibling,it almost never works.Solange should give up the singing thing and shoot for something else like acting.

  • Rihanna’s sharp n pointy witchy fingernails took the oath

    she didn’t cut her hair, she took the track out.

  • NATASHA

    jayz where u @@@@@@@@@@@@ lol

  • blackbeltshopper

    Boy…that pic really came back to BITE her:o(

  • Liscious

    I heard the last cd was good but I knew it was nicely produced but Solange couldn’t fake real talent. Solange never had the starpower and like Rayj she gets attention for being the only sibling of someone very famous.

  • http://www.SoldieressChronicles.com Soldieress Chronicles

    I have her CD and it is good…I can actually listen to every track unlike with other artists. She has her on style and will find her groove in the industry soon. She is far from a FAILURE!!! She is a “Soldieress”!!!!!!!!!

  • Humane Society of Texas

    Damn, they could have at least not chained her cart to a poll, how she gone figure out how to escape?

  • Redbone_Darkbutt_Black_White (It’s just coochie)

    why does she think that SHE has to be a singer?
    damn, the Knowles have some money… she isn’t
    at all old…

    go the hell to college and go to LAW school or something…

    JODY FOSTER, BROOKE SHIELDS and several BIG young white stars went on to graduate from IVY LEAGUE colleges ….

    AFTER they had become stars, not before.

    Damn girl, even Einstein’s sons didn’t inherit his talent. Accept the fact that you are NOT a great talent, and do something ELSE.

  • MS.M

    I dont understand why solange has so many haters…. Her cd was really good… It should of sold more.. Its ok she will get pick up by another label anyways …. and Interscope need to stop they not getting no money over there anyways they need to keep there artist

  • Cindy

    LMAO@ her getting dropped

    How is that so? Beyonce’s lil sis. So what, Mathew can’t managed both of his daughters?

    And Solange has the stankiest attitude ever too. Who would want to work with her?

  • jaycee

    Solange needs to be in her own lane and if they arent letting her do that then good for her! I bought her album and it was wonderful:) A lot of artist who choose to not do Pop music for the mainstream end up going independent… Beyonce makes music for the masses, and Solange makes music that she chooses to make… I love that about her and thats why she will continue to be successful regardless of what you decided to measure her against…

  • dat niggA

    honestly her haircut grosses me out. Im not even kidding. i just ate subway and think i wanna throw it up like a gang sign already.

  • http://www.rockwildaz.com/ hugh hefna

    Let this be clear.. her father does have a record label called Music World which both Beyonce & Solange are signed to. But, they still need a major label backing which is why Music World signed Solange to Interscope/Universal, but still under Music World. Like Beyonce is Music World/Columbia./Sony.

  • DUH

    he he he i see solange and beyonce are out full force trying to make everyone believe she left and that there are actually people out here who like her. how sad. GO HOME AND BE A MOTHER TO YOUR CHILD SOLANGE ITS OVER!

  • LET MESAYSOMETHING

    haha thats funny! thanks for the laugh

  • hadleynightmares

    why does she continue to record music? at what point will she realize that very few people care? she doesn’t tour so her only monitor of fan involvement is record sales. so, I’ll ask again. why does she continue to record music? marry and raise your child without nanny support.

  • IT’S ALL FAKE

    WEAR 20LBS OF WEAVES AND LIPO/BUTT PADS ON OCCASION TO KEEP UP WITH BEYONCE.

    SELL YOUR SOUL TO THE DEVIL TO COMPETE WITH BEYONCE.

    MORALLY PROUD OF SOLANGE!!! I SEE WHY A DOWN BROTHA LIKE WYLE LIKES HER. SO OPPOSITE BEYONCE!!

    EVEN 50 KNOWS THE KNOWLES DID KELLY WRONG. NO ONE GOT SUPPORT EXCEPT BEYONCE.

    BEYONCE KILLED EVERYONE DREAMS.

    I DON’T SEE HOW FOLKS SUPPOORT EVIL PEOPLE, LIKE THAT!!!!
