Beyonce Upset and Not Speaking to Dad Over Cheating/ Love Child

This matter is between her mother and father and it really isn’t any of her business. Matthew Knowless is still her father and not speaking to him is really childish at this point.

Human frailty being what it is, infidelity is always a possibility for anyone, man or woman. It’s what happens afterwards that’s the real challenge. Some marriages can survive it, others don’t.

But, what does worse in “for better or worse” suppose to mean? Cheating is not included in that?

From The New York Post:

Beyonce Knowles
is still refusing to speak to her dad and manager, Matthew Knowles, after he fathered a love child with a woman 20 years his junior -- and suits at her record label fear the rift could damage her career.

The superstar singer was horrified when it was alleged last year that Matthew had an 18-month affair with 38-year-old Alexsandra Wright and DNA tests confirmed he'd fathered her son, Nixon, while still married to Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles.

Now, sources tell Page Six that relations between Beyoncé, who is very close to her mom, and her father have reached such a low point that executives at her label, Columbia, are worried.

Matthew guided Beyoncé's career through her days with Destiny's Child and is still her manager.

But one music industry insider said, "Beyoncé was horrified to find out her dad cheated on her mom. She always



looked up to him, and she is very close to her mom, so this has hit her really hard. She is refusing to speak to him, which is making things difficult where it comes to managing her career. Some people at Columbia now think it would be better to move him aside."

Former "Scrubs" actress Wright filed a paternity suit last October, and a DNA test taken in March confirmed that Knowles was the father of Nixon, who was born on Feb. 4.

A judge ordered him to pay $8,200 a month in child support on an interim basis.

Wright, a Los Angeles-based branding executive, claimed that Matthew Knowles, who was married to Tina for 29 years, had an affair with her for a year and a half. Tina filed for divorce last November.

Wright and Matthew are now in the final stages of negotiating a child support settlement.

The Last Tradition

Debate #1: Matthew Knowles or Beyonce Knowles

After listening to your comments, I have decided that the debate idea is marvellous and we shall be conducting it once a week so everyone has their time to put forward their thoughts and be able to respond.

So here is the first debate:

Who can you really blame for Beyonce and the way she acts?

Unfortunately, it has become quite apparent that Beyonce is unable to conduct long sentences about anything, unless it is to do with music. She has been in the spotlight throughout her time in DC and her solo career. Who is pushing her to be this "legend"? Is it her father's vision that has brainwashed her or is it her that is the driving force?

Matthew or Beyonce. You decide.

Beyonce Documentary

Who would have guessed she would do this for more self promotion of her tour. This bitch never misses a trick...I am sure the stans will love this carefully edited video of Beyonce never looking or acting like the diva we all know she is. Matthew has full creativity rights... surprise surprise..

Matthew and Beyonce Fight Back!

For people that "dont read blogs" I find it amazing how quickly they retaliated when Beyonce's vocals are in question. How sweet! Well, as it turns out the vocal I posted yesterday was a fake and Matt & Bey are not happy that it has hit the blogesphere...here is what they had to say:

Matthew:

"If no one took the time to look at the biggest Inauguration in the history of America then shame on them. If no one took the time to listen to Beyonce sing ‘America the Beautiful’ and ‘At Last’ at the Neighborhood Ball for the first dance of President Obama and the First Lady, and they question Beyonce’s vocal ability, they’ve gotta be an idiot. At 12 years into her career, the last thing someone should be questioning is her vocal ability. That would be like questioning if Kobe Bryant could shoot a jump shot. The vocals were obviously altered.”

Beyonce:

"Of course I'm just hearing about this today — and I haven't heard it but it sounds completely ridiculous, Everyone's heard me sing and it's perfect timing, actually, because I'll be on the 'Today' show tomorrow singing 'Halo,' or tonight you can watch me sing live on David Letterman! It's perfect promotion, whoever came up with that idea."

It does make me laugh how she tries to turn every negative into a positive...we all know behind closed doors she is weeping...like always!

Everybody Hates Matthew

Whoah...even Beyonce seems to be turning on her daddy aswell. Word on the street is Beyonce has told her father to step the fuck back! Finally... before we know it Matthew will only have Solange left to try and control. Matthew sounds like he needs to change his game... his little girls are not girls anymore but bonafied women with their own ideas and wants.... no more are days where what Daddy says goes. Looks like Karma coming to bite him on the ass...and not a moment too soon.

Solange is not leaving her Record Label... For Now

The official statement from her record label:

Interscope Records - “Contrary to rumors floating through the internet over the last few days, Solange remains a part of the Interscope Geffen A&M family. It’s unfortunate that people have posted false information without checking their sources first.”
Music World - Recent reports that Solange has been dropped from IGA are false. Interscope Records has issued a statement regarding these erroneous reports.
Mathew Knowles - “Our joint venture with Music World and Interscope/Geffen/A&M is very much in place with Solange. Her remarkable achievements speak for themselves.”
Music World Entertainment can not comment further on the inaccurate business and personal accusations as reported by the online gossip columns and blogs because of pending legal action. SoL-AngeL and the Hadley St Dreams is an international critically acclaimed album that produced major No 1 hit singles on multiple charts.
The current single T.O.N.Y is co-written by Ceelo of Gnarls Barkley and Solange. Ceelo along with Kid Cudi make guest appearances in the music video. The single has just been launched at radio with over 3.2 million in audience and growing daily. T.O.N.Y is No 3 on Billboard’s Dance Club Chart and sales are up 165% this week at iTunes.
Upon release, the album had a Top 10 debut on the Billboard 200 Chart at No 7 and entered at No 3 on the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Album Chart, which are based on sales.
The album received rave reviews around the world. The first two singles from the album shot to No 1 on separate charts. The music videos were the No 1 most viewed at the national music TV networks. Her recent music successes have also resulted in major endorsement and sponsorship opportunities

Umm.... Matthew.... I hate to say it but Solange has hardly had any remarkable achievements. Being at No 1 for both singles would have been a remarkable achievement. Putting more interest into Kelly Rowland's career......that would have been a remarkable achievement.... please put things into perspective Matthew...good boy.

No I dont want to be like You!

In an interview with Essence.com, T-Boz responded to the over reacted comment she made about Destiny's Child. Most importantly, T-Boz mentions how no way in hell would she ever participate in a situation like Beyonce and Destiny's Child.

T-BOZ: (Laughs.) I was simply expressing my thoughts on girl groups in general and that my personal choice would never be to put myself in a situation where I'm in a group that is managed by one of the group member's parents. I think that Mathew and Tina have done a great job, so it's no diss to them or not taking away anything from what they've accomplished. I just know what would not work for me, because, at the end of the day, if a manager has a personal relationship with someone in the group they are managing, they are always going to have that person's interest first and foremost and that's all I was expressing.

MWE Insider Speaks

Hi...so as an MWE insider, I really wanted to inform you all of some things that were on my heart. I came across a picture and cd today that I hadn't seen in a while and it made me think. Matthew Knowles has really done some very foul things here. I understand a lot has been said about Michelle, Lyfe and Kelly no longer being apart of the team but did you all know that even before they all got hip to this foolishness, Matthew had an r&b girl group here?! Yes! Very dope group. Three chicks, incredible singers and dancers, gorgeous,non dc like, soulful, urban, very very talented from what we all experienced. They were signed a couple yrs ago, and unthinkably messed over by Matthew. I remember many people being interested in pushing them HARD yet Matthew would ask for unheard of amounts of money for people to work with them, so deals wouldn't go through. Deals that were meant for them, he passed to Solange or passed on altogether. He kept them locked in contract and they would use their own resources for shows and a lot of production. He invested very minimal amounts of money in them yet he was nervous that they would end up taking one of the many deals offered to them behind his back. He overlooked them and his male group (one of whom left and is currently in a popular male group today), and placed Beyonce and Solange first. he even has a female rap artist who is AMAZING, grinds to no end, gets no love and has been under MWE for at least 5 years! It gets better....she's Solange's BEST FRIEND! There's way too much to tell but it absolutely gets worse! Anyway, the ladies finally became enraged and asked for their walking papers and left not too long ago! I've gotten many phone calls about the girls being released and finally being able to take full advantage of everyone interested and matthew began to tell industry folks that they were DROPPED to save face and harm their career, a lie that he verbally stated he would tell once they left. The group is still together and from what I hear and see are grinding pretty hard, and getting into some great situations. As to not be too incriminating, here's a hint: they have a song on itunes and a ringtone. So does the rapper. No one ever speaks of them, the male group he screwed for 4 yrs, Project Popstar, (the Making the Band type project he had with several girls whom he wanted to form into a super group then DROPPED them ALL abruptly when he saw the aforementioned girl group), Sunshine Anderson, Mojoe, Aqualeo (all artists he signed and were either dropped or angrily wanted to be let out)...people try to keep quiet at MWE as Matthew fires easily and is quick to bad mouth and ruin careers and lives. There is a lot more to this story as well. Take care!

Whoah! More to come people...

Solange to replace Beyonce in Destinys Child?

Mediatakeout.com are reporting that Solange about to take Beyonce's place in Destinys Child:

Last week the industry was buzzing with rumors that Destiny’s Child would reunite for another album. The group, which consists of Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, still owes their label one more album under contract.But according to one of MediaTakeOut.com’s snitches, the new album will not likely have Beyonce on it. According to one of our label insiders, Beyonce is reluctant to record another album with her former members.The insider told MediaTakeout.com, “I actually agree with Beyonce. Doing an entire album with [Kelly and Michelle] doesn’t really make sense.” The insider added, “She’s at the height of her career right now – why take a step back.”The label insider offered his take on what the new Destiny’s Child album will look like. The tipster told MediaTakeout.com, “The new [album] will either be remixes of old songs - or maybe Solange will be the new lead singer. I know [Mathew Knowles and co.] was floating that idea a while back.”

T-Boz from TLC: My 2cents on Kelly/Matthew

When you hear stories about what's going on with Destiny's Child and Kelly Rowland having to fire Matthew Knowles to finally get attention, what are your thoughts?

They get mad when I say this, but I don't give a damn. It was all about Beyoncé anyway. She was my favorite too, but come on, her parents are over everything. Who do you think they were going for? It's always Beyoncé. It was supposed to be exactly the way it is now, Bey is on top. I love Beyoncé and I am a fan of hers. She was my favorite in the group even before they were Destiny's Child and they were the Baby Dolls. She was so cute and pretty. I like all of them too and I wish Kelly the best. When you're in a girl group, you have differences and you have to learn how to respectfully agree to disagree. There are a lot of things that happens behind the scenes that people don't know about. You have situations like the Kelly thing and Beyoncé's parents. You can say that I'm out for everybody, but if Lisa was to bring somebody in that's her boyfriend then I'm gonna feel like you got Lisa's back more than mine and that's gonna be a no-no. I just think that brings a conflict of interest in the beginning. That would have been a hard group for me to be in because I would have been like your mommy and daddy are running things and they're gonna have you at heart the most. That's just how I feel.

Who the daddy?

Let the battles Commence. We all have thought Kelly R is Matthew's daughter..so does Miss Jones. Here is what she had to say on her blog:

Oh boy! Here she goes again! Beyonce and her dad stood by and watched as Kelly Rowland lost her Miami condo, failed with both her albums and now gets dropped from Columbia Records. How f*cked up is that?

I understand that Matthew would be pissed that his own daughter(Kelly) would fire him as a manager, but to have her dropped from her label? Is it not enough that everytime Kelly attempted to drop a record Beyonce conveniently dropped one too? Or that each time there was an Award show where Beyonce was performing Kelly could only be in the audience cheering her on? Or how can we forget that other performance where Beyonce performed and tore it down and then introduced Kelly AFTER to sing some new single she had? The crowd went from WOW!!! to woah!!! That was so messy i felt like throwing on some plastic pants and doing some background moves myself just to hype up her crowd!LOL!(yall know i’m joking bout the plastic). But Matthew has been unfair to Kelly from the gate in regards to her career. I guess this is his way of winning favor with Tina Knowles for having this out of wedlock child so long ago? And even convincing Tina to allow his lovechild from another to move into the Knowles abode? And bringing this memory of infidelity into Golden Child Beyonce’s Girl Group? Next time just jerk off in the mirror Matthew because you’re ruining lives AND careers!

The saddest part of it all is that Kelly can actually hum better than Beyonce!

Do you know how badly they had to have brainwashed this girl to sit tight, wait her turn and just root for Beyonce? All to get kicked out of her house,(while B brags about how much property she owns) lose her fiance(while B secretly weds Joe Camel), and release records that only get outshadowed by Beyonce’s fully supported albums! C’mon Sasha, you know that sh*t aint right..and Karma will come and snap you right in that big ole Tina booty of yours if you don’t start looking out for others.(especially yo blood!)

Well Kelly hate to say we told you so…so we won’t…JUST GO ON AND WRITE THE TELL ALL BOOK….you can call it The Child Of Destiny Speaks Out! We’ll be waiting!!

Jonesy

Here is Russell’s latest blog concerning the issue:


In light of the recent excitement surrounding Miss Jones’ blog, I want to express my thoughts on this situation. Global Grind was created to fill a void in the hip-hop space, where artists, fans and foes could speak their mind openly and freely. As a yogi, you all know that I feel that most people are interested in a better view of the world, so I will always encourage positivity. That is the reason why we promote people like Brother Jesse Muhammad, from the Nation Of Islam, who might have not had the chance to write on other sites, and who has become a star blogger on GG. THAT IS WHY ASHLE DUPRE FOUND A VOICE HERE. That is what makes us unique and different. However, I PASSIONATELY believe that all artists MUST have the freedom to speak what’s on their minds, so we welcome Miss Jones to the GG community. If I had to make an educated assesment, since I know Matthew so well, I would say that Matthew Knowles has been an EXCELLENT FATHER AND A GREAT MANAGER. But this no way allows us at Global Grind to tamper or sway the opinions of all the artists we engage with as bloggers. I have no interest in creating more problems between members of our community, so I will leave it in your hands, our readers, to continue a vibrant, constructive discussion. And you can count on me to provide context and look for the higher note everyday of my life while defending the right for everyone to speak their minds in this unique space.

Matthew is the daddy....

Destiny's Child Comeback Info

I have it on very good authority and from one of my inhouse snitches that Destiny's Child will be making a comeback after Beyonce has finished her "I Am…." tour. As we know, Kelly Rowland has left MWE and Columbia Records as a Solo artists but is still contracted within the Destiny's Child legacy. I must say, they have worked this very cleverly. Matthew Knowles must know from Beyonce's tour that Beyonce is not earning the way she should be….they only way they will make a nice bumper profit is if the ladies return as a unit. Question is…have they been away too long? Personally, I would love to see the girls get back together but their success is now questionable on many levels. I would laugh if Kelly turned around and said No but Im sure she cant afford not to. Its all so fake! What would be really hot is if LeToya and LaTavia joined them…. Everyone would be interested then. Lets hope Solange doesn’t trail behind them… little parasite.

Kelly Says....

Because Columbia Records has been my home base as an artist for more than a decade, the decision to move out on my own required a lot of soul-searching," said Kelly Rowland. "As a solo artist, I felt the need to explore new directions, new challenges, and new freedoms outside my comfort zone and my friends and family at Columbia have been incredibly understanding about my evolution. I want to thank everyone at Columbia for the love and support they've shown and I will never forget how many good times we've had over the years."

"Kelly Rowland is one of our finest contemporary artists and a musical force to be reckoned with," said Rob Stringer, CEO, Columbia/Epic Label Music Group. "It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work with Kelly and we will continue our working relationship with her under the Destiny's Child moniker. The decision for Kelly to seek other opportunities for her solo career was agreed upon mutually, and any reports to the contrary are false."

OKay..... so if Destinys Child get back together after all this ish I will eat my Jimmy Choos y'all... the relationship is severed. I really hope Kelly blows up on her new project.... I cannot wait to see what she brings. Step out of that shadow girl.... I just hope she hasnt left it too late

Hell Nah! MWE STILL frontin on Kelly

So we all know Kelly and Lyfe are no longer being managed by Matthew Knowles..so SOMEBODY pls tell me WTF Lyfe has been taken off the roster and Kelly has not? Matthew is in some serious denial over this whole thing. WTF is going on at MWE???? And WTF are those other people? Aint no one heard of 2MUCH...KMT

Thanks to SS for the tip

Matthew Vs Beyonce

Vogue Interview:

When I ask [Beyonce] if she ever feels overexposed, she says flatly, "I don't." But when I push her on it, she gives in a little. "We just had a meeting yesterday about the tour," she says. "I approved everything I do, all the bookings, made sure everything makes sense for me." Pause. "The thing that me and my father sometimes bump heads over is: just too much." Do you argue? I ask. "It's definitely tense. And if there's one person in my life I argue with the most, it's him. But it's business. It's always about business."

Sounds like they dont have a relationship other than business ... thats sad.

LMAO: Matthew Gets Fired AGAIN

Soon Matthew Knowles is only going to have Bey and Solange left to manage. Lyfe Jennings has also given Matthew his marching orders and Matthew is no longer managing Lyfe.

Here is what Lyfe said about his new manager

"Manny is the first manager who I really feel gets me and just like he’s done great things with superstar Keyshia Cole, we’re gonna do great things together, for music and our communities.”

Rumours are circulating that Michelle is also thinking about jumping ship. I think this is a great idea.... maybe she will be given some decent music to sing.... sorry but I didnt like her last album. AT ALL!

Note To Matthew Knowles

Kelly Rowland is NOT under your management any longer so please explain to us why she is still on your roster? She doesnt want your greedy ass managing her so please stop fronting like you are.... you still have Solange and Beyonce.... Michelle and some other people no one has ever heard of. Why dont you concerntrate on them instead of what you had.... Damn old fool.

Man Group "Next" was Pissed with Matthew Knowles

Kelly Makes A Diss Track?

The Kelly-Knowles saga isn't over yet. MediaTakeOut.com has just learned that R&B singer Kelly Rowland is working on a new song - that will set the record straight on exactly what happened between her, Beyonce, Solange and Mathew.

Here's what MediaTakeOut.com's snitch said - "Kelly's always been honest in her music - and she plans to honestly discuss what happened in her career."

WOW ... when did Kelly grow a backbone????? Girl you better watch what you say - or Matty and Bey might just SNAP IT!!!

Lets be real here. You know Kelly aint done a damn thing like this... as Matthew said, he is still managing Destinys Child so why would she burn bridges?? We all know that is where they will make their bread and butter when they make a reunion.
