Beyonce's dad has filed legal papers which now explain why the singer fired him as her manager -- he claims she's under the impression he stole lots of money from her, and say it's a bad rap. In the documents -- obtained by TMZ -- Mathew Knowles claims Live Nation Entertainment wanted desperately to sink its fangs into Beyonce's 2011 world tour. According to the docs, Mathew claims Live Nation told Beyonce that Mathew "had stolen money from Beyonce on her most recent tour or otherwise taken funds that [he] was not entitled to." Mathew claims Live Nation was effective, because Beyonce had her law firm conduct an audit, and the law firm concluded Mathew had indeed pilfered money from her. Beyonce then fired him. Mathew claims after he was canned, Beyonce hired a manager who had worked as a former exec at Live Nation and maintained a relationship with the company. Mathew insists the theft accusations by Live Nation are false, and he wants the judge to give him the right to take depositions of various people at Live Nation, to determine just how they concluded he was a thief. We could not reach Beyonce's rep for comment.
Can't say I'm surprised by this news. Let's face it....we've all heard of managers/accountants/publicists chipping away at their clients $$$$. But when it comes to Beyonce and her tight-knit family, let's just pray that it's not true! I mean....this is the man that has guided her career from the beginning and whom she has even credited so many times for the development of her career. AND...he's her FATHER!
Sad! This industry will DEF eat you up and spit you out if you let it.
After 20 years working as a successful team, you and your No. 1 artist—daughter Beyonce—decided to part ways. As her father and manager; will not having her under your wings be a difficult transition for you?
Interesting enough the transition started way before the official announcement. If you’re strategic, which we are, you don’t make a decision like that before you start dialogue. That dialogue started nine months ago. At the end of the day, I’m Beyonce’s father first and her manager second. Remember, this is 20 years I’ve been doing this. She’s almost 30 years old and if she says, "I want to run my business," I think she’s smart enough that she will get the right team. Beyonce is smart enough to know what she knows and what she doesn’t know, and that takes an even smarter person to admit that. And she knows she can call me anytime. It takes a lot of hours and a lot of staff to run the business of Beyonce. (Laughs)
In VERY shocking news, it is being reported that Matthew Knowles, father to superstar Beyonce Knowles, is no longer managing her career!
In a statement released by her publicist Yvette Noel-Schure, it is revealed that the two have parted ways "on a business level."
WOW!
Beyonce says in the statement that she is grateful for the role her father has had in her career. She adds that "he is my father for life and I love my dad dearly."
Awwwww.
Matthew Knowles has managed Beyonce's career since she was a teenager up until now. I wonder who will take over her career now, considering that he helped build it? Hmmmmmm.
UPDATED
On the heels that he will no longer manage his daughter Beyonce's career, Matthew Knowles has issued the following statement while reiterating that their decision was mutual and that he was proud of his daughter. Read it under the break......
In the above clip, Beyonce and Solange Knowles' father, Matthew Knowles, shares what his American Story is. He goes on to explain that while growing up in Alabama, he always had a dream for himself of making it into the music industry. And when he and Tina decided to have children, he wanted to foster and manage their dreams of being in the arts.
When speaking of his "daughters", Matthew also included Kelly Rowland in his family. I thought that was such a sweet sentiment!
TMZ has learned Beyonce's parents --Mathew Knowlesand Tina Knowles -- are no longer getting divorced ... at least for now. A trial was supposed to take place yesterday in Harris County, Texas, but nobody showed up, so the judge dismissed the case. It's unclear if Tina and Mathew have reconciled ... or just forgot to show up, but we're guessing since they both were lawyered up they didn't just forget to show ... rather, they made a conscious decision to drop the divorce.
Tina has GOT to be a strong women to let the public humiliation of her husband having a baby on her pass by. But then again, who really knows what's going on with them!
I'm sure that winch, Alexsandra Wright, is just happy to be getting that hefty child support payment. WHORE!!!
TMZ is reporting that Beyonce and Solange's dad, Matthew Knowles, is in fact the father of his mistress, Alexsandra Wright's baby!!!
Beyonce Knowles is officially a big sister again. A DNA test has confirmed that Mathew Knowles is the father of Alexsandra Wright's brand new baby boy ... sources tell TMZ. With the DNA test a match, we're told lawyers for Knowles and Wright are in the final stages of negotiating a settlement for baby Nixon's child support. Wright filed a paternity suit last October against Knowles -- who was temporarily ordered to pay $8,200 in monthly child support. Wright claims she had an 18-month affair with Knowles.
I have said it before, and I will say it again: HOW FRIGGIN EMBARRASSING!!!
Matthew, now you've lost your wife, and I'm quite sure your girls are playing you 50 now, and all because of WHAT??? Some winch who just wanted to get in them pockets! Two Dummies, I tell ya....
Men, PLEASE let Tiger Woods, Jesse James and now Matthew Knowles be an example of how your life can change messing with these "supaheads".
