Kelly stars in Netflix’s new legal thriller, Mea Culpa, which comes out on February 23.
Ahead of the film’s release, the actress and singer has begun a media tour to help with promotion.
On Thursday, she sat down with Savannah for an interview about the steamy flick, which sees Kelly starring as a criminal defense attorney working on a murder case.
After a few questions about the movie, the Today host played an old clip of Kelly performing on the Today show as part of Destiny’s Child in 2001.
“What do you think when you look at that,” she asked the singer.
“That was so long ago, I’m 43 now,” Kelly responded with a smile.
After Savannah asked her guest if she was working on new music, she revealed, “I am, I’m working on new music.”
The host asked for more details, but Kelly smiled and teased that she wasn’t able to share much else about it right now.
That’s when Savannah turned the conversation toward another Destiny’s Child alum – Beyonce.
“What do you think about your friend Beyonce,” the TV personality began, “She’s like your sister, you guys literally grew up together – she’s stepping into country.”
“I’m so proud of her,” Kelly simply replied.
Pushing for more about Beyonce’s turn to country music, Savannah added, “I know, but were you surprised and what do you think about it?”
“I’m so proud of her,” Kelly said. “So happy for her.”
Realizing Kelly wasn’t going to add anything else, Savannah went back to talking about her new movie, but fans online weren’t as quick to move on.
Viewers blasted the host for bringing up Beyonce and said they were tired of Kelly always being asked about her friend and former group member.
“Very disrespectful to ask as accomplished entertainer as @KELLYROWLAND about Beyoncé every freaking time she comes on your show,” one upset fan tweeted.
“Please stop asking @KELLYROWLAND about the choices @Beyonce makes,” a second wrote. “Kelly has her own beautiful gifts, talents and projects that should be celebrated.”
“Will yall PLEASE quit asking @KELLYROWLAND about Beyonce,” a third begged on X (formerly Twitter). “She’s clearly there to promote her endeavors!”
Another fan said Kelly’s “reaction was hilarious to me” and pointed out that Kelly seemed not happy with the line of questioning.
“She handled it w/grace when asked but I get why she’d be annoyed,” the X user added.
