NOT ME, GIRL!: Solange Knowles Shuts Down Rumors That She Cheated On Her Ex-Husband with Her Former Manager – “Y’all Gotta Chill”

Solange basically hit y’all with the “Not me, girl.”

This past weekend, Solange Knowles announced on Instagram that she was splitting up with Alan Ferguson who she has been married to for five years. The break-up came as a bit of a shock to people as they have been joined at the hip for a fairly long time now. Solange has been very open about her life with the public, so the details she expounded on in her initial post made sense considering the circumstances. 

Immediately after the announcement, fans began to theorize that she might have been cheating on Ferguson with her co-manager, John Bogaard. Solange wasn’t exactly a fan of these rumors and took to social media where she scolded those making up alleged lies about her.

the past 2 years have brought me more physical and spiritual transition and evolution than ever before my body left me with no choice but to listen and be still within that stillness i begin my journey in confronting my worst enemy, fear. ive lived my best and worst moments in front of the lens and gaze of the world since i was a teenager. ive always tried to live in my truth no matter how ugly or full of love it is. ive also tried to carve out the space to protect my heart, and my life as it unfolds, evolves, and changes. 11 years ago i met a phenomenal man who changed every existence of my life. early this year we separated and parted ways, (and tho it ain’t nan no body business 😭) i find it necessary to protect the sacredness of my personal truth and to live in it fully just as I have before and will continue to do. it is unfair to not have power of your own story as you shape and mold and rewrite it yourself. a nigga ain’t perfect, but im leaning into the fear of the unknown and all the glory and power i know exist within god and the universes grace. may all of your transitions no matter how big or small, be kind to you and filled with incredible love and light!

“Yo, John [Bogaard] is my former co-manager y’all gotta chill. I’m not about to be silenced into letting complete lies narrate my life. To take my words ‘my body left me with no choice but to listen and be still’ after speaking about my health journey…which has already been painful enough and turn [it] into an interpretation of unfaithfulness is just…wow,” Solange said in a now-deleted tweet. In another deleted post, Knowles said “I hate to even give this energy, but I will not let something so untrue follow me when I’ve tried to lead my life in truth. I hope y’all spread this with the same conviction and energy that [you] did that false narrative. Much love.”

Twitter and social can be a pretty dangerous place so it’s not surprising that rumors like this would be circulating, even if they are extremely far from the truth. Regardless, Solange is going through a hard time right now and most likely has better things to deal with than rumors.
