It’s difficult to say if Solange Knowles’ hip factor is real, or if it’s just the cause of hanging out with her uber-cool older sister. But she sure seems to be harnessing it nicely. O Friday, her cover of The Dirty Projectors’ “Stillness is the Move” surfaced on Pitchfork.com before being yanked by Universal at the label’s behest.
Unimpressed, Solange took to Twitter to voice her frustrations.
“So fucking crazy universal has been taking down a COVER I’m NOT selling or trying to publish. Never heard of that shit in my life! Not to mention Dirty Projectors, LOVED the cover& all parties are happy Doesn’t Lil Wayne a Universal artist rap over other folks records?”
Solange has certainly stepped up her media presence since her days as the Disney version of Beyonce.

One of the most interesting press releases of the past week was one issued by Solange Knowles to say she’s not pregnant.
The mother-of-one and Beyonce’s sister said, “There is absolutely no validity to this rumor. The bloggers are circulating old photos of me from my baby shower over two years ago and are misrepresenting them as current photos.”
But there has not been a media report this week suggesting Solange was pregnant. And a search of popular blogs had no mentions of Solange’s pregnancy either.
Actually, there has been very little mention of Solange lately, that it is not unreasonable to assume she released the press release just to gather some press, so we don’t forget who she is.
Well, I guess it worked.
Will Solange Knowles join Destiny’s Child? Matthew Knowles said yes. Beyonce says no.
Beyonce tells MTV that the group will remain a trio, despite claims by her father and the group’s manager, Matthew, that her sister, Solange, might be joining the group.
“The Solange rumour is definitely a rumour,” Beyonce said. “She’s not going to be a member of Destiny’s Child.”
She said the group will record in the new year.
“We’ve all grown so much … it’s going to be incredible. Hopefully, we’ll own next summer.”
