Well Solange and Beyonce’s father Mathew Knowles stopped by Wendy Williams this week and finally responded to the situation.

His reaction?

“I laughed so hard because, if you know Solange — that’s Solange,” he said. “You just never know what you’re going to get… A firecracker! I don’t know where she gets that from.”

Okay.
