Have you seen the video of Peter Rosenberg interviewing Kelly Rowland, suggesting that she plays second to Beyonce?
No?
Well, chile, Kelly, sat down for an interview with Peter Rosenberg on Ebro In The Morning to promote her new film, Fantasy Football, alongside Marsai Martin.
And we don’t know if he lost his mind with this question or what happened ….but according to Metro UK Peter highlighted a moment in Kelly’s recent interview with Angie Martinez where the two talked about her former bandmate and lifelong best friend Beyonce.
Peter told the Motivation singer: ‘Angie gave you flowers for your ability to play second to Beyonce which… I can only speak for me, everyone gets into the entertainment business to be “the man”, right? It does take an ego check.
‘You happen to be standing next to the brightest light on planet Earth. You think Big Boi from Outkast has it tough being next to Andre, you’re with Beyonce and not only did you not have to fight it, like you really loved the position you were in and took it seriously.’
Kelly, 41, interjected and delivered a very classy read, stating: ‘Here’s the thing. Light attracts light. I am light. I am a beautiful, brown, shining light.

‘So, I don’t think anybody’s light dims anyone else’s. I think that when other people start to compare you, I think that’s when it shows how dim they are of themselves.
‘I don’t take someone else trying to dim my light anymore for anybody else. I love Bey, I know that she’s a light but I know that I’m a light too.’
Kelly was silently cheered on by Marsai, 18, who snapped her fingers as a show of support for her co-star.
Peter then attempted to compliment Kelly by praising her for choosing not to ‘rest on her laurels’ despite her best friend ‘being the biggest star in the world’.
Clearly growing frustrated with the line of questioning, Kelly then reiterated: ‘Yes, and her best friend-sister is one of the biggest stars in the world, too,’ referring to herself.
The internet erupted when the clip surfaced because not only did Kelly answer his question with grace but we all knew she did not deserve the question in the first place.
Critics and Kelly Rowland fans, lit Rosenburg up on Twitter:
Peter has since apologised for his line of questioning and responded to a critic on Twitter: ‘Lol i did get it…i hated my question …clumsy and stupid … dropped her a line to apologize for how it came off.’
Twitter isnt letting up!
I don’t know if Rosenberg caught that shade at the beginning of this clip, but I sure hope he did because we should not be asking Kelly these tired DC and Beyoncé questions in the year 2022 (especially when they come off as an insult). https://t.co/ZBrVVZErDy

Peter Rosenberg, like much of Hot 97… is a clown. I’ll be glad when celebrities go back to walking out in the middle of interviews.
So pressed to run his mouth he didn’t even comprehend her response. This isn’t journalism this is just ppl who like to hear themselves talk https://t.co/0x8ify86ce
