Destiny’s Child alum and Grammy award winning artist Ms Kelly Rowland is coming clean and showcasing vulnerability on her new record, “Dirty Laundry.” The 32 year old star, whose new album, Talk a Good Game hits stores next month breaks the silence and opens up about a past relationship with a former lover on The-Dream written single. She even opens up about hee relationship with Beyonce and more. This one is definitely going to catch a lot of people’s attention and controversy. We applaud Kelly for her honesty and finally stepping outside of her shell. This is what we call growth!
