At this level, Ebro stepped in, and so they spoke about this mindset, notably affecting the Black neighborhood and tradition. The remainder of the interview additionally leaned into Marsai and Kelly’s roles within the upcoming movie Fantasy Football.
Social Media Comes To Kelly’s Defense
Given the YEARS of Kelly tackling the identical line of questioning, social media’s responses to Rosenberg weren’t too sort.
The downside is Kelly Rowland has been coping with this disrespect for manner too lengthy. For many years! It’s not JUST about Rosenberg.

After all these years and lots of profitable SOLO tasks you’ll suppose @HOT97 & Rosenberg would have some RESPECT for Kelly.

Rosenberg interview reveals how radio host aren’t on the heartbeat anymore , their abilities aren’t what they used to or must be . Still carrying this narrative in 2022 about Kelly & Beyoncé is simply unhealthy type as an interviewer .
