Singer Solange Knowles has revealed that she was diagnosed with three chronic illnesses back in 2018. The artist and younger sister of Beyoncé shared this personal news on Instagram, touching on the health challenges she has faced.
In a response to a post by model and musician Shaun Ross, who discussed his experience with long COVID-19, Singer Solange Knowles offered her support.
She wrote, “Sending u so much love and strength Shaun and to all in the comments struggling with the debilitating, confusing, and lonely symptoms of POTS!”
She continued, “I got diagnosed with POTS, Sjogrens and MCAS in 2018 and really relate to not wanting your health to be your identity. The good folks at [Dysautonomia International] were really an incredible resource for me, and I feel really grateful for the spoonie community for holding me down during my times of complete uncertainty! Sending an abundance of love your way!”
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, or POTS, is a condition that causes an unusually rapid heart rate upon standing. Solange Knowles’s other diagnosis, Sjögren’s syndrome, is an autoimmune disorder that affects moisture-producing glands, leading to symptoms like dry eyes and mouth. MCAS, or Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, results in recurrent allergic reactions affecting multiple body systems, including skin, heart, and respiratory functions.
With this revelation, Singer Solange Knowles has drawn attention to these lesser-known conditions, offering insight into the daily battles she and many others face.
In other related news, Beyoncé and Jay-Z received a public apology from Piers Morgan after unsubstantiated allegations about the power couple were aired on his program.
During an episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, Morgan hosted singer Jaguar Wright, who made shocking and unfounded claims about Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Wright accused Beyoncé and Jay-Z of being a “nasty couple” who allegedly engage in harmful behavior, such as “keeping people against their will” and putting “people on planes while they’re unconscious.” She even compared the duo to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, but offered no evidence to support her allegations.
After the broadcast, Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s legal team contacted Morgan, asserting that Wright’s remarks were “totally false.” In response, Morgan issued a rare public apology to Beyoncé and Jay-Z on his show.
“Last week, I interviewed Jaguar Wright, who’s made claims about Diddy for years,” Morgan explained. “Jaguar unexpectedly made several serious allegations about Beyoncé and Jay-Z during that interview, and they were not present to respond.”
Following the couple’s legal intervention, Morgan complied with the request to cut the offending sections from the interview.
“Editing interviews is not something we do lightly on a show called Uncensored,” Morgan said. “But there are legal limits, and we apologize to Beyoncé and Jay-Z.”
In other related news, Beyoncé, the legendary singer, openly stated that she was now driven by personal growth rather than chart-topping hits or commercial achievements.

In her words:
“There was a time in my life when charts and sales excited and motivated me.”
“Once you have challenged yourself and poured every ounce of your life, your pain, your growth and your dreams into your art, it’s impossible to go backward.
“I’m very grateful and humbled for the extraordinary success of the new album.”
