In the November issue of Honey magazine, R&B singer Solange comes clean about the challenges of being a mom to her 5-year-old son Daniel Julez with ex-husband Daniel Smith.
“A lot of people feel like their life has to stop because of the child and they have to let go of their interests. You definitely have to compromise some of them, but I’ve been really blessed.”
Solange affirms that motherhood is the most important aspect of her life – ahead of any honors or tributes that come with being an entertainer.

“I have to say no to a lot of things because at the end of the day I know that no matter how many awards or accolades or praise or money I get, the one thing that really is a judgment of me is what kind of mother I am.”

Fortunately, Solange and her ex-husband Daniel Smith are determined to co-parent their son, sharing equal custody and coordinating their schedules accordingly. “I try not to ever be away from him unless he’s with his dad.”

    Props to Solange…for putting together a statement without cursing. She actually sounded normal and not like the kook that mowed all her hair off. She needed that hair to stay warm in Beyonce’s shadow. (LOL)

    Julez is absolutely adorable :). Solange is INDEED BLESSED because she does not have the financial struggles or hardships of parenting ALONE!!! Many mothers (and fathers too for that matter) can’t use the term “co-parent” because they are doing it by themselves. I wish her much success.

    Omg,can he be any cuter!lil angel he is,i don’t have any kids but moms raised my brother and I by herself and we turnt out pretty damn good.Its definitely not easy doin it alone,but we all kno tha good Lord aint gonna put nothin on you that you can’t handle.So you jus have to figure out how to make it work best 4 you and your child.He’s blessing though,love kids! :-)

    My mom always told me if you don’t have something nice to say don’t say it at all. Lastman you should take that advice also. Of course it takes a guy to say some insensitive thing like that. I’m sure she’s tired of being behind her sisters shadow when will people like u let the woman live?

    Solange..a beautiful mother..holding her own! She was NEVER in her sisters shadow..she always did her own thing!! Seems to me the nasty remarks are from those who WISH they can get close or be a part of her life..SMDH! and its always those who need to do a DOUBLE TAKE and look in the mirror…And what is it you do for a living again??? things that make you go hmmmmmmm….Im proud of you Solange..GO SISTER!
