Solo ain’t playing the slander game.
Solange and her musical partner-in-crime Dev Hynes penned one of Solange’s biggest hits of 2012 together, but it looks like “Losing You” may be the source of their losing friendship.
In a recent interview with The FADER, Dev Hynes expressed his frustration with Solange and “Everything Is Embarrassing” singer Sky Ferreira‘s reluctance to give him songwriting credit on their breakout songs, stating:
“I’ve got a lot of shots ready to be fired, and I guess this is the shot. This is a song I wrote for another singer. She said a couple weeks ago that she doesn’t like when I say I wrote it—this happens a lot to me, but I’m not an arrogant guy. That said, I’ve written some songs for people and they haven’t given me due credit and it pisses me off.”
The circumstances behind Solange and Dev’s “beef” is still unclear, and the Blood Orange singer/songwriter admits he doesn’t know why they’re not in a good place.
“We’ve spoken but I don’t know where it’s at. ”
Catching wind of the interview, Solange took to Twitter:
@devhynes When you do tumblr post, speak about things in interviews, tweet, issues then belong to the public. I have been minding my biz.

@devhynes I have only ever praised you and spoken about you positively, even when our perspectives were totally different.

@devhynes I still support your artistry & am extremely happy for your success. I just wished you were honest about the making of my album.

No word if Solange and Dev will ever be able to work out their differences, but these two definitely made great music last year.
