As the lead singer of Destiny's Child, Beyoncé Knowles has always taken center stage. During their peak, fans and critics recognized her extraordinary talent in singing and dancing.

Despite adopting a different musical sound and personal style, fans couldn't help but compare the two sisters and pit them against each other. 

Solange has never been shy about how she loathes the comparisons. In 2009, the "Losing You" singer checked fans who shade her big sis in an attempt to uplift her. "Don't try to love me becuz [sic] u want 2 be the "anti Beyoncé". I am the "all for" Beyoncé. Now kiss both of our Knowles asses if u don't like it," she tweeted (Via Metro). Beyoncé also has not found any flattery in the shade towards her sister. 

The singer made her feelings known to hip hop artist Fabolous, after he rapped, "Only if you gold, I never do the bronze, 'Cause if you could have Beyoncé would you take Solange?' on a track titled "For The Money". During an interview on The Breakfast Club, the rapper recalled Beyoncé reprimanding him at a party. "I ain't gonna share the exact conversation, but she told me, '[These are] people. Saying something like that can personally hurt her.' And I said, 'You know what? I get it,'" he shared.
