On the show, host Peter Rosenberg suggested that Kelly was “second to Beyoncé” when they were in Destiny’s Child.
He said, “Everyone who gets in the entertainment business gets into it to be ‘the man. It does take an ego check. And you happen to be standing next to the brightest light on planet earth.”
He added, “Not only did you not fight it; it seems like you really loved the position that you were in and took it seriously.”
“Here’s the thing: light attracts light. I am light,” Kelly responded.
“I am a beautiful brown shining light. So I don’t think anybody’s light dims anyone else’s. I think that when other people start to compare you … that’s when it shows how dim they are of themselves,” she continued.
“I love Bey. I know that she’s a light. But I know that I’m a light too.”

The singer went on to praise Beyoncé, whom she considers a “sister,” and everything she’s accomplished in her career. However, Kelly advised people not to compare women in the entertainment industry.
“We both shine together,” she said of her fellow singer.
Rosenberg brought up the subject by mentioning Kelly’s appearance on the IRL podcast last month. In that conversation, host Angie Martinez also mentioned Beyoncé, but she praised Kelly for being “comfortable and secure” and for having her “own light” within Destiny’s Child.
Beyoncé and Kelly grew up in Houston, where they competed in singing and dancing contests as children. The two were founding members of the Destiny’s Child group, which released their debut single, No, No, No, in 1997.
Following Kelly’s interview, fans took to Twitter to thank her for her contributions to the entertainment industry, including her work as a solo artist and actor.
Kelly Rowland is a legend in her own right. She has a whole career that can be discussed. I'm so tired of people trying to play in Kelly's face.
