Kelly Rowland's Biggest Interview Mistake Involves Beyoncé & Jay-Z

When it comes to celebrity interviews, some moments make history, and then some make you cringe and Kelly Rowland knows a thing or two about both experiences.

The former Destiny's Child member recently recalled finding herself at the center of attention for a jaw-dropping revelation that involved none other than her close friends and music industry power couple, Beyoncé and Jay-Z. 

During a candid conversation with longtime friend and collaborator Billy Mann on his podcast, aptly titled "Yeah, I F*cked That Up," the actress was taken aback when asked about her biggest mistake. 

Surprised by the question, the 42-year-old admitted that no one had ever posed it to her as she reflected on her journey from Destiny's Child to a solo career, opening up about the challenges she faced. 

While some of those struggles could be considered part of the necessary pains of growing in the industry, one particular mistake she made as an adult stood out. As the "Can't Nobody" singer chatted with the host, she was asked about the biggest mistake she had ever made in an interview. The star replied:

"Oh my God. When I made a mistake and told the sex of Bey's baby when she was pregnant with Blue. That was the worst moment ever. The worst moment ever."

The incident occurred in 2011 and caused quite a stir as Beyoncé had successfully kept her pregnancy a secret until her performance at that year's MTV Video Music Awards.

The major slip-up occurred at the Cosmopolitan Awards in London, just two months after the "Love on Top" singer's pregnancy announcement. Caught off guard during a red carpet interview, Rowland was asked about her plans for a baby shower gift, to which she replied, "I don't know…I think her dad is gonna give her everything anyways, all I can give her is love."

The "Freddy vs. Jason" actress expressed joy for the couple, acknowledging the happiness they were experiencing in that precious moment. She stated, "I have no idea what I'm going to buy Beyoncé at the baby shower because Jay is going to buy that little girl every single thing possible. She won't be spoiled, but she will be very well looked after."

Looking back on the mishap, Rowland openly admitted that her slip-up in using the pronoun "she" during the interview had been unintentional. It was not until stories started circulating that she realized her mistake. 

Expressing her surprise, the "Dilemma" artist recalled her reaction: "I was like, 'What are they talking about? I didn't say… Oh my God!' It was bad because it was no one's business."

Despite her slip-up, their deep friendship remained unscathed and incredibly strong, as they went on to have many other collaborations. 

The former Destiny Child group members are working with Harris County officials to establish a multi-million dollar housing unit in the Midtown area for those in need. City officials affirmed last month that the joint effort had created 31 permanent housing units to support unhoused individuals in the area.

This assistance included services such as case managers, peer specialists, service specialists, county records notes, and specialized support in areas like transportation, mental health, and physical and behavioral health.

During a press conference, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo announced that an "even bigger launch" is planned for September. This significant event will align with the tour performance of the "Fighting Temptations" star. 

Rudy Rasmus, a local Pastor and executive director of "Bread of Life," also expressed his deep appreciation for the project set to be located at their organization. He conveyed his gratitude, stating, "This will be our fifth housing [development downtown] in Precinct 1 over these last 17 years, and [I'm] just really grateful to continue to help end [homelessness] in our county." 

He explained that the Knowles-Rowland Project was inspired by the philanthropic spirit of the "Destiny's Child" trio when they utilized funds from their hit single "No, No, No" to construct a youth center in the city.
