Michelle Williams hits back at fan asking why she’s not in Beyoncé’s ‘Black Is King’
Michelle
Williams is just about done with people insinuating she’s not as close Beyoncé
as the other third of Destiny’s Child, Kelly Rowland.
The
Say Yes singer shared some of her favourite
moments from Beyoncé’s new visual album, BlackIs King, which seems innocent enough. However, one shot in particularcaught the eye of a fan who had some questions for the singer.
In
the picture, Bey is seen sharing a tender moment with Rowland for the song Brown Skin Girl in which the latter is
name-checked in the line “drip broke the levee when my Kellys roll inâ€. Now,
the song does name and feature other black female celebrities including
supermodel Naomi Campbell and actress Lupita Nyong’o but saying that doesn’t
really add to the drama, does it?
Noting
Williams’ absence, a user asked, in a since deleted comment, “Where you at in
the film though??†to which the artiste replied, “I’m in the upper right corner
minding my business!â€

While
the reaction may seem excessive for others, it must be hard still being the ‘other’
member of Destiny’s Child more than a decade after the group disbanded. The
hashtag #PoorMichelle, which racked up thousands of not-so-pleasant comments on
the singer’s success outside of and role in the group, has certainly not helped
to make her more affable to such comments.
