Kelly Rowland isn't the only one without a label to call home. According to Young Black & Fabulous, Solange Knowles was just dropped from Geffen Records, and it happened right around the time the rumors of Kelly being dropped from Columbia started.
Columbia Records came out so quickly about Kelly leaving was not just to confirm the rumors, but to quietly drop Solange.
Here's what a source at Geffen told BV:
Solo's Hadley Street Dreams album only sold 138k units to date. Solange's manager and dad Mathew has been aiming for Epic Records.
Geffen did a one-off deal with Music World Entertainment for Solange and wasn't interested in doing a new contract with her. People at the label really liked working with her because other than her infamous news outburst in Las Vegas, she was a constant professional. There were challenges dealing with her camp, but Solange was great to work with. In the end, the CD didn't sell despite Solange's countless high profile appearances.

Epic's new Prez Amanda Ghost had approached Kelly about joining their label after rumors started Kelly was leaving Music World/Columbia. Kelly and Epic had been meeting and are close to signing an official deal.
According to BV:
Solange getting dropped means she needs a career change. Leave the music to Beyonce.
Amanda was really into signing Kelly and then Matthew started meeting with her about Solange. I'm told he used his influence in the Sony system with Beyonce to complicate the existing offer to Kelly and then the deal ultimately didn't happen.
