Former Destiny's Child star Kelly Rowland has reportedly been dropped by her record label, just two months after firing her manager, former bandmate Beyonce Knowles' dad.
Despite the fact her first two solo albums sold more than four million copies, British tabloid News of The World reports the Dilemma singer has been dumped by bosses at Columbia (applies to the US and all other countries), because they fear she is "no longer commercially viable".
Rowland shot to fame in Destiny's Child in 1997 and released her first solo album, Simply Deep, in 2002. The album sold over three million copies worldwide.
The 28 year old started 2009 by splitting from longtime manager Mathew Knowles.
Honestly, I feel like starting from scratch with another label and fully breaking away from the Knowles' clan is truly in her best interest. That said, I hate to be the carrier of bad news, but the "no longer commercially viable" part, pretty much hits the nail dead on the head, given the masses just aren't checking for any member of Destiny's Child except Beyonce.
