Beyoncé Knowles Is NOT “Re-Hiring” Father Mathew Knowles As Manager, Despite Report

GossipCop.com:

Beyoncé is NOT “re-hiring” her father Mathew Knowles as her manager, despite a report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct the claim. We’re told there’s absolutely no validity to the story.

The allegation comes from the National Enquirer, which claims, “Mega-mogul Jay Z’s sensing a mega-chill in his marriage after Beyoncé suddenly shocked him — and the entire family — by hinting that she’s re-hiring estranged dad Mathew Knowles to manage her empire again.”

“Maybe THAT’S why Jay sent Wifey that whopping bouquet of 10,000 roses just before the Super Bowl,” the supermarket tabloid wrongly speculates. The outlet goes on to quote a so-called “Beyoncé spy,” who alleges, “Jay Z knew something was up when Beyoncé abruptly fired her entire management team, and he’s infuriated by news that Daddy’s back again — years after he’d persuaded her to dump his ass!”

The National Enquirer even encourages readers to “stay tuned,” and they should… to Gossip Cop. We’re assured by an impeccable insider close to Beyoncé and Jay Z that she is NOT hiring her dad to be her manager again. Our contact even sniped, “Look who the source is.”

No kidding. The disreputable gossip rag outrageously said last fall that Beyoncé and Jay Z’s supposed “sham marriage” was coming to an end, with the superstars on the verge of divorce. Of course, they remain happily together, and there’s 10,000 roses that prove it. Furthermore, Beyoncé has already hired a new management team, of which Knowles is not part.

Judge Calls Mathew Knowles A Bad Dad, Orders Him To Pay $71K Child Support

Bossip.com:

Deadbeat dad Mathew Knowles tried to buy his baby mama’s silence with $225,000 after she told him she was pregnant with their now five-year-old daughter.

That’s according to a Houston family court judge, who ripped Knowles for giving baby mama Taqoya Branscomb the $225,000 “hush money” payment to persuade her from hauling him into court for child support.

“Mr. Knowles knew of his paternity in September 2009 and clearly sought to avoid the establishment of a support obligation based primarily on the tolling agreement and the payment of monies pursuant to said agreement, which the court can only reasonably conclude was hush money,” Judge David D. Farr wrote as part of his ruling in Harris County District Court.

Koi was born in 2010, while Knowles was still married to Beyonce’s mother, Tina. Branscomb sued Knowles in 2014 over the paternity of the little girl, and the pair had been duking it out in court ever since.

In a ruling last month, the judge sided with Branscomb, ordering Knowles’ wages garnished to pay her $70,822 in back child support plus interest, along with $1,496 a month in regular child support. Knowles is also now responsible for the child’s health insurance as well as $50,000 in Branscomb’s attorney fees.

Mathew Knowles Says He’s Not Being Sued by Daughter Beyoncé

TheRoot.com:

Mathew Knowles is shooting down rumors that his eldest daughter, Beyoncé, is planning to take him to court over ownership of the Destiny's Child brand.

On Friday a story in In Touch Weekly stated that Beyoncé wanted rights to the name and was willing to take her father to court over it. In a statement to ET, Knowles said that the rumors are just that and are untrue.

"These dangerous rumors defame my family name," Knowles said. "They have no validity and hold no merit."

"There are many other important topics needing America's attention," he added. "No one needs more unnecessary negativity. Media like this needs to get on higher ground. I, for one, am focusing on lectures and seminars that help people achieve something positive and achieve better lives."

Beyoncé Knowles Plans to Take Father to Court Over Destiny’s Child

InTouchWeekly.com:

In Touch has exclusively learned that Beyoncé plans to take her father, Mathew Knowles, to court over ownership of the Destiny's Child brand.

The 34-year-old singer fired Mathew as her manager more than four years ago, but he still owns the rights to their name and music — and she wants them back.

“She’s ready to take action,” a source tells In Touch. “Beyoncé is going to sue her own father. She’ll take him to court to show that she deserves the rights to her own band.”

“She feels he basically stole the group and the [trademark] on Destiny’s Child,” the source explains of the band, which was originally called Girl’s Tyme — until Mathew took over as their manager and renamed them.

Mathew, 63, is believed to own at least 25 percent of the Destiny’s Child brand, although the source tells the mag it’s closer to 100 percent because he set up certain contract terms that favor his own stake in Kelly [Rowland], 34, Michelle [Williams], 35, and Beyoncé’s careers.

Tour Rumors Surround the Artists Formerly Known as Destiny’s Child

TheRoot.com:

Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams recently reunited to perform at the Stellar Awards, but they weren’t appearing as Destiny’s Child. Williams, who has launched a successful gospel career since the 2006 split, was up for three awards for her song “Say Yes,” which originally appeared on her 2014 album Journey to Freedom.

After the surprise performance, rumors are now circulating about a possible tour. There’s just one caveat: They can’t tour using their old group name.

“Although Destiny’s Child is made up of the three ladies, Beyoncé’s father and former manager Mathew Knowles owns one-fourth of the group as well. Anytime they do anything under the name Destiny’s Child, he has involvement in it and money from it,” an insider told the Daily Mail.

“At best they maybe could offer him a flat rate or one-time settlement to buy out his portion of the group, but otherwise we may never get a Destiny’s Child reunion because none of them want him to benefit financially,” the source said.

One after another, the former members of Destiny’s Child dropped Knowles as their manager. Williams, Rowland and Beyoncé severed ties with their embattled manager amid troubles including lawsuits against him, his admitted infidelity and his out-of-wedlock children.

So if the three decide to embark on a tour—which would probably turn into a cash cow—they’re doing everything to make sure Knowles doesn’t profit from their endeavors, if reports are correct.

Beyonce Knowles Has Another Brother

TheUrbanDaily.com:

Apparently Mathew Knowles aka Beyonce and Solange‘s father is also a father to not one but TWO other kids! According to TMZ, the latest paternity test proved that there was a DNA match with another little kid in Houston!

TMZ obtained a copy of the paternity test ordered by a judge in Houston after Knowles was sued by a lingerie-model-turned-real-estate agent who said he got her pregnant in 2010.

The DNA test is said to be  99.998% conclusive! Whether he likes it or not, he and TaQoya Branscomb have a child together.

So, of course, now Branscom is going to be asking him to pay her bills, bills, bills! However, she might not want to give up being an Independent Woman just yet. He doesn’t appear to have quite as much money for TaQoya as she may have hoped.

Since he stopped managing Beyonce, times haven’t been so good financially. Woops!

Mathew Knowles: There 'Might' Be a New Destiny's Child Album

BET.com:

Now that those wild rumors about' Jay Z's and Beyoncé's marriage can be put to rest, Papa Knowles is hinting at a possible reunion between his daughter and her Destiny's Child sisters.

"Folks don't know it, but I am still the manager of Destiny's Child," Mathew Knowles said in a chat with The Roula and Ryan Show. "When you see Destiny's Child on TV and you see them doing songs together slowly, it might be another Destiny's Child album coming."

Although the group officially disbanded and Kelly's currently preggers, earlier this summer, Michelle somewhat quietly dropped "Say Yes," a song featuring both Kelly and Beyoncé.

"There might be this tour that makes history," he continued. "Can you imagine what that would be like?"

He also continued to plug his teaching seminars on Communications and the Music Industry, and candidly addressed all things Beyoncé, like her seductive 2014 Grammy Awards performance of "Drunk in Love."

"It was the very first time I've ever watched Beyoncé as a dad and I just boo-hoo cried because I've never watched her from the headset of a dad," he said.

He had the opposite reaction to the viral elevator incident. "It's called the jedi mind trick," he said about it, laughing hysterically. "Everybody's talking about it. Ticket sales went up. Solange's album sales went up 200 percent."

Mathew wrapped up the convo with a nod to his relationship with megastar Bey. Though it has been reported over the past few years that the two are estranged, the Music World executive says otherwise, even stating that they talk quite frequently.

"She's still just my girl," he said. "We talk every Sunday. She's still the humble, generous person she's always been."
