"Kelly Rowland works through plenty of personal issues in her new hit &amp;quot;Dirty Laundry,&amp;quot; but one thing she never had to worry about was her relationship with her Destiny&amp;apos;s Child band mate Beyonce.\r\nIn a recent interview with Washington radio station 93.9 WKYS, the 32-year-old singer explained that she had both Beyonce and Michelle Williams listen to her emotional tune before she released it -- and their reactions were positive.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;[Beyonce] was just like, &amp;apos;I never left,&amp;quot; Rowland said of Bey&amp;apos;s response to her candid lyrics. &amp;quot;Which was so sweet. It was endearing. She heard how real I was and she was just like &amp;apos;I&amp;apos;m so proud of you.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\nThe powerful ballad touches upon Rowland&amp;apos;s past relationships with abusive boyfriends and her struggle with jealousy over Beyonce&amp;apos;s success.\r\n&amp;quot;When my sister was on stage/ Killing it like a motherf--ker/ I was in rage/ Feeling it like a motherf--ker,&amp;quot; she sings on the track. &amp;quot;Bird in a cafe/ You&amp;apos;d never know what I was dealing with/ Went our separate ways but I was happy she was killin&amp;apos; it/ Bittersweet, she was up, I was down/ No lie, I feel good for her but what do I do now?&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe singer added that despite going through some very difficult times after the girl group&amp;apos;s breakup in 2006, she is forever thankful for the trio&amp;apos;s enduring friendship.\r\n&amp;quot;What matters to me most is what we have,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m so grateful for what we have as sisters &amp;#x2026; away from Destiny&amp;apos;s Child.&amp;quot;\r\nStill, even with the distance of time, the song&amp;apos;s raw emotions can get the best of her. On Sunday, May 26, Rowland was in the middle of performing the song during a show in Washington D.C. when she broke down onstage, unable to go on.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s really weird when you take yourself in front of a crowd,&amp;quot; she told the radio station. &amp;quot;Even in that moment of when I put my feet up, I felt like I was in therapy. I was singing and talking about what happened, and for a moment, it was like that crowd wasn&amp;apos;t even there. And then when the music stopped &amp;#x2026; I was like &amp;apos;You are live, Kel. Calm down.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;And I had to calm down, and then I had to breathe,&amp;quot; she continued. &amp;quot;You get lost &amp;#x2026; and it&amp;apos;s nothing wrong with getting lost. But that was weird. I felt like I could do that with D.C.&amp;quot;\r\nShe later addressed the audience and thanked them for their support. &amp;quot;Doing this song for me was so therapeutic,&amp;quot; she told the crowd. &amp;quot;Honesty, like my mama always says, is always the best policy.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
