“Beyoncé and Solange Knowles: A Look Inside Their Sisterly Relationship Over the Years”.hienca

Beyoncé and Solange Knowles were 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 five years apart in Houston, Texas, and have maintained a close relationship since their individual rises to stardom.

The two singers went on to create their own careers and families, while still having each other’s backs along the way. Though Beyoncé gained more recognition to start, Solange fostered her own fanbase with the release of her critically acclaimed album, A Seat at the Table.

“I’m your biggest fan and I’m super proud of you,” the “Break My Soul” singer told her sister as she interviewed her for Interview magazine in 2017. “I remember thinking, ‘My little sister is going to be something super special,’ because you always seemed to know what you wanted.”

Beyoncé and Solange worked together when they were young

Beyoncé and Solange are both successful solo musicians

After a successful run in Destiny’s Child, Beyoncé made her debut as a solo artist with the release of her album Dangerously in Love in 2003. The album was met with critical acclaim and topped charts around the world.

The “Halo” singer has since gone on to release seven studio albums as well as five live albums and one soundtrack album for the live-action version of The Lion King. In February 2023, Beyoncé broke the record for most Grammy Awards ever won by an artist when she earned her 32nd win for her 2022 album Renaissance.

The artist has also worked on various creative endeavors, including an acting stint in 2006’s Dreamgirls, an athleisure brand collaboration with Adidas named Ivy Park and a voiceover role as Nala, a main character in The Lion King.

Solange spoke about how proud she was of her sister in a 2016 interview with The Fader, sharing how Beyoncé’s 2016 album Lemonade was an empowering album for Black women.

Solange, for her part, has also led a successful music career, with four studio albums including 2016’s A Seat at the Table and 2019’s When I Get Home. She earned a Grammy in 2017 for best R&B performance of her song “Cranes In The Sky.”

Beyoncé saved Solange in a scary moment during her wedding

When Solange married her now ex-husband, music video producer Alan Ferguson, on Nov. 16, 2014, she was lucky to have her sister by her side. Following the wedding, Tina shared with Entertainment Tonight how Solange had an allergic reaction and Beyoncé saved the day.

In 2009, she told Honey magazine that her priority would always be her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 over her career.

Solange is fiercely protective of her sister

While the cause of the argument was never revealed, fans suspect that it had to do with JAY-Z’s affair, which Beyoncé sang about in Lemonade.
