Solange And Producer Blood Orange Engage In Twitter War Of Words

Alternative R&B singer Solange has found herself in entangled in a row with her one time producer Dev Hynes, otherwise known as Blood Orange.

Beyoncé's younger sister, who is headed down under for some festivals and headline shows over the New Year period, collaborated with Hynes on her breakthrough and acclaimed EP True, which included the hit track Losing You. Now the two have exchanged some not so nice Tweets in what appears to be a power struggle between the two artists.

A recent interview that Hynes did with The Fader appears to have kickstarted the Twitter beef, with the producer claiming they never resolved a prior issue over songwriting credits on True - Solange had previously expressed her anger at not being taken seriously as a writer on her new material.

Hynes posted several tweets this past weekend, which have since been removed (except for the one below), calling out Solange on going behind his back and taking shots at him. Here's a bit of what followed:

Your friends will be the first to turn on you.

@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.

And we're pretty sure Hynes isn't a fan of Solange's brother-in-law Jay Z, for recently announcing a partnership with American store heavyweight Barneys.

The biggest "Fuck You" in history could have been Jay-Z saying NO to Barneys.
