Solange tweets fury after women tell her to ‘sit down’

YOU don’t mess with Solange Knowles. The singer has vented her rage after an altercation with a group of white women at a concert.

Solange Knowles was infuriated after a group of white women threw a lime at her and told her to sit down.

SOLANGE Knowles didn’t have a very pleasant experience when she attended a Kraftwerk concert on Friday night.

Knowles went to the concert in New Orleans, Louisiana with her husband, 11-year-old son and a friend of his.

Solange and her son Daniel Julez Smith Jr. who confirmed to his mum that the women threw a lime wedge at her back.

After standing up to dance to Kraftwerk’s hit Machine, Knowles claims a group of white women told her to sit down. When she didn’t, they threw a lime wedge at her back.

The 30-year-old singer took to Twitter to express her rage about the whole experience, starting her series of tweets with “Let me tell you about why black girls/women are so angry”.

She had been enjoying a chance to “dance and enjoy a band I love.”

Statistically New Orleans has one of the largest African-American populations of US cities but Knowles said “we are four of about 20 black concert goers out 1500 here. Four out of maaaaybe 20 out of 1500.”

The younger sister of Beyonce said she shared her experience “so that maybe someone will understand, why many of us don’t feel safe in many white spaces ... we don’t ‘bring the drama’ ... fix yourself.”

Solange with sister Beyonce — one of the loudest voices for the Black Lives Matter campaign.

She became even angrier after people on Twitter questioned if it was really about race and more about the drama.

Nobody goes to the Kraftwerk show with their kid "looking for "drama"
