Syleena Johnson previously compared Blue Ivy Carter's hair to Ol' Dirty Bastard.

Nearly five years ago, Syleena Johnson made some controversial comments about Beyoncé and Jay-Z's baby girl Blue Ivy, saying that her hair looked like Ol' Dirty Bastard's from Wu-Tang Clan. Obviously, the comments were not taken well from the BeyHive, with many defending the power couple and their daughter. The remark was viewed as shade, which, according to Johnson herself, is incorrect.

Syleena Johnson has been waiting for the perfect opportunity to discuss the controversial comments in public. They may have been made a long time ago but they still haunt her to this day. During a new interview with Bossip, the singer elaborated on her initial remarks, saying that she intended no harm from them.

"Ain't nobody calling no Blue Ivy no O.D.B," said Johnson. "Her hair? Yes! And that's actually funny." She went on to address a few of the other headlines that have been published about her, also telling the world about her new music and what's in the plans for the future. 

Johnson says that since Beyoncé was a first-time mother when the comments were made, she likely was frustrated about brushing her daughter's hair too often because, according to Johnson, "children's hair is bananas." Do you think the comparison is funny or disrespectful?
