*Hot 97 radio host Peter Rosenberg found himself in the hot seat on Wednesday for asking superstar Kelly Rowland a very unnecessary question. Kelly appeared on the show to promote her new film “Fantasy Football” with Marsai Martin.
While there, Rosenberg told her that “she’s had an interesting run” while mentioning how impressed he was with her for playing “second to Beyonce…” which he also referred to as “the brightest light.” Now, the former Destiny Childs star shared a great response, simply reminding Rosenberg that she and Beyonce “both shine.”
Although Kelly responded with grace and class, her fans had to check him. One fan said, “I want hosts to find another angle when interviewing Kelly Rowland. We’ve witnessed the ‘second fiddle to Beyoncé’ storyline for decades and it’s honestly redundant and highlights a lack of creativity when approaching interviews with someone over 20 years deep into their career.”
Another added, “Kelly Rowland is SO much more than her association with Beyoncé. It’s very irritating like she hasn’t had an ENTIRE SUCCESSFUL ACTIVE career. Like she hasn’t broken records?! Her experience within itself is a story. It’s pathetic on the interviewer’s part.” A third said, “Asking Kelly Rowland about Bey during a Kelly Rowland interview STILL.. in 2022?” Rosenberg clearly caught wind of the tweets and said he has apologized to Kelly and regrets his question.
