    Does Kelly feel neglected and overlooked by her Destiny’s Child band mate? In her new single, Kelly shockingly reveals her often rocky relationship with Queen Bey. Read on and listen to the song!

    Kelly Rowland is in full confession mode for her new single, “Dirty Laundry.” The Destiny’s Child pop star has never quite been able to escape the shadow of her iconic band mate Beyonce, and she’s finally singing about it.

    Kelly Rowland Dishes On Beyonce In ‘Dirty Laundry’

    The revealing song, which is the first single from Kelly’s upcoming album Talk a Good Game, is all about Kelly’s resentment over the way her career has unfolded since Destiny’s Child. She admits to how she loathes living in the shadows, as well as how she was once physically abused.

    “When my sister was onstage/killing it like a …/I was enraged/feeling it like a ….,” Kelly sings. “Went our separate ways but I was happy that she was killing it/Bittersweet, she was up and I was down/No lie, I feel good for her but what do I do now?”

    Kelly’s frank admission that she couldn’t help but be a little jealous towards Beyonce after Destiny’s Child is extremely refreshing, and totally understandable.

    Kelly Rowland’s Abusive Ex-Boyfriend Got Between Her & Beyonce

    But the reveal that there isn’t always pure love in her relationship with Bey is downright shocking. In the song Kelly recalls a particularly dark moment in her life where an abusive ex-boyfriend created a rift between her and Beyonce.

    Kelly admits to often being angry with her own life and envious that Beyonce’s life was going better. She admits that she let that envy affect her friendship with Beyonce. In the most heartbreaking segment of the song, her abusive ex-boyfriend reiterates the idea that Beyonce is above her:

    Hitting the window like it was me
    And still it shattered
    He pulled me out and said, ‘Don’t nobody love you but me
    Not your mama
    Not your daddy
    and especially not Bey.’

    Kelly is definitely being as raw and real as we’ve ever heard her be. If she’s not out of the shadow of Beyonce yet, this will surely help.

    Read the rest of the lyrics and listen to the song below and let us know what you think, HollywoodLifers!

    Find out what our friends at Media Take Out have to say about this drama!

    Kelly Rowland – ‘Dirty Laundry’ Lyrics

    [Chorus]
    Let’s do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry
    Let’s do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry
    When you’re soaked in tears for years, it never airs out
    When you make pain look this good it never wears out
    This dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

    [Verse 1]
    While my sister was on stage, killing it like a motherf**ker
    I was enraged, feeling it like a motherf**ker
    Bird in a cage, you would never know what I was dealing with
    Went out separate ways, but I was happy she was killing it
    Bittersweet, she was up, I was down
    No lie, I feel good for her, but what do I do now?
    Forget the records
    Off the record, I was going through some bulls**t
    Post-survivor, she on fire, who wanna hear my bulls**t?
    Meanwhile, this n**** putting his hands on me
    I swear y’all don’t know the half of this industry

    [Chorus]

    [Verse 2]
    And it’s almost been a decade
    I’m behind them black shades
    Roll up like it’s all good, right up out that escalade
    Fix my make-up, “get it together, Kelly, get it together”
    Then we make up, “well get it together, n****, get it together”
    Kinda lucky, I was in her shadow
    Phone call from my sister, “what’s the matter?”
    She said, “Oh no, baby – you gotta leave!”
    I’m on the kitchen floor – he took the keys
    I was mad at everybody, I mean everybody
    Yeah, her, her, her her everybody
    Five years later, I got my s**t down pat
    Think I had it good, and they don’t know how bad
    Fooled everybody, except myself
    Soaking in this hurt, bathing in the dirt

    [Chorus]

    [Verse 3]
    So here I am in the spin cycle
    We’re comin and we’re goin
    Nobody can know this
    And I was trapped in his house, lyin’ to my mama
    Thought it could get no worse as we maximize the drama
    Started to call them people on him
    I was battered
    He hittin the window like it was me, until it shattered
    He pulled me out, he said, “Don’t nobody love you but me
    Not your mama, not your daddy and especially not Bey”
    He turned me against my sister
    I missed ya

    [Chorus]
