A lot of people are attacking you on the assertion that she’s proudly ignorant.

I didn’t take her response as proudly ignorant as much as indignantly annoyed. Rowland has been passed up time and again in her career. She’s a wonderfully talented singer and by all rights should have been as famous and successful as Beyoncé, but for whatever reasons, she wasn’t “chosen” to move up the ranks.

I think in that situation, it would be slightly annoying for someone to criticize (even in jest) some throwaway moment on a music video you made years ago, rather than take your music career seriously. I’m guessing she was more frustrated that her interviewers were basically using her for a joke than helping her gain some steam with her music career.
