In a lengthy Instagram post on Friday, adored singer-songwriter Solange Knowles announced that she was ending her five-year marriage to music video director Alan Ferguson.

The pair was together for 11 years and served as co-directors of the videos for smash hits "Cranes in the Sky" and "Don't Touch My Hair."

The announcement couldn't have been done in a more Solange fashion as she was admirably transparent with her followers all while reminding that at the end of the day, the separation is none of our damn business.

"I've always tried to live in my truth no matter how ugly or full of love it is. I've also tried to carve out the space to protect my heart, and my life as it unfolds, evolves, and changes. 11 years ago I met a phenomenal man who changed every existence of my life. Early this year we separated and parted ways, (and tho it ain’t nan no body business ????) I find it necessary to protect the sacredness of my personal truth and to live in it fully just as I have before and will continue to do," the Grammy-winner wrote.

the past 2 years have brought me more physical and spiritual transition and evolution than ever before my body left me with no choice but to listen and be still within that stillness i begin my journey in confronting my worst enemy, fear. ive lived my best and worst moments in front of the lens and gaze of the world since i was a teenager. ive always tried to live in my truth no matter how ugly or full of love it is. ive also tried to carve out the space to protect my heart, and my life as it unfolds, evolves, and changes. 11 years ago i met a phenomenal man who changed every existence of my life. early this year we separated and parted ways, (and tho it ain’t nan no body business ????) i find it necessary to protect the sacredness of my personal truth and to live in it fully just as I have before and will continue to do. it is unfair to not have power of your own story as you shape and mold and rewrite it yourself. a nigga ain’t perfect, but im leaning into the fear of the unknown and all the glory and power i know exist within god and the universes grace. may all of your transitions no matter how big or small, be kind to you and filled with incredible love and light!

The post goes into great detail about her recent medical issues and struggles living life under the eye of fans and paparazzi.

"The past two years have brought me more physical and spiritual transition and evolution than ever before. My body left me with no choice but to listen and be still within that stillness. I begin my journey in confronting my worst enemy, fear. I've lived my best and worst moments in front of the lens and gaze of the world since I was a teenager," she wrote.

In December 2017, the 33-year-old announced that she had an autonomic disorder which had grave effects on her nervous system.

She married 56-year-old Ferguson in a 2014 New Orleans ceremony attended by all of her famous family members and other stars. In her post she highlighted that she was far from perfect but learning along the way.

"It is unfair to not have power of your own story as you shape and mold and rewrite it yourself. A n***a ain’t perfect, but I'm leaning into the fear of the unknown and all the glory and power I know exist within god and the universes grace. May all of your transitions no matter how big or small, be kind to you and filled with incredible love and light!" she said.
