Beyonce’s dad ordered to pay child support

by on Feb.17, 2010, under articles

Beyonce’s father, Matthew Knowles, has been ordered to pay child support after a court ruling on Tuesday. He was said to have been ordered to pay $8,200 per month for his reported two week old son, Nixon, of whom was said to be the result of an affair.

Knowles is said to be taking a DNA test on March 1, 2010 to determine paternity and whether or not he’ll have to continue support payments.

That seems like they are putting the cart before the horse, asking him to pay support before establishing that he’s the baby’s father. Perhaps he’s agreeing to it because he knows there’s a good chance that he’s the daddy?

They need to call Maury Povich stat.

Beyonce Reponds! Calls Fake Singing ‘Ridiculous’

by on Apr.22, 2009, under articles

After it surfaced that Howard Stern got a hold of a crazy sounding board mix of Beyonce singing “If I Were A Boy”, her father Matthew Knowles said his piece.

Straight from the queen bee herself, Beyonce calls the “fake” recording ridiculous.

Check out what she had to say:

“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.”

Here’s the video of her promoting her new movie, “Obsessed”:

Matthew Knowles Calls Us Idiots

by on Apr.22, 2009, under articles

Even though Matthew Knowles may be too hardheaded to realize that even his daughter, the mighty Beyonce, might have an off day, he instead calls us idiots.

In response to the recording that made waves on the internet earlier today of Beyonce butchering “If I Were A Boy”, he says this:

“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.”

Yes, I’ve heard her sing “At Last” and it was amazing. But everyone has an off-day once in a while, don’t they?
