A couple of days ago TMZ reported that Beyonce's father, Mathew Knowles allegedy stolen money from her which lead to everyone assuming that was the reason she parted ways with her father back in March. Mathew filed court papers in Texas earlier this week claiming that Live Nation, Roc Nation, and Columbia Records had "made negative comment's about him".
Mathew who'd been quiet since the split from Beyonce spoke with Associated Press about the recent allegations against him.
"We absolutely have not taken any money from Beyonce, and all dollars will be accounted for," he told The Associated Press in an interview Thursday afternoon. "In no way have we stole money. Again, this about the people who have made these claims — they have to come into the light."On the status of he and Beyonce's relationship:
"The relationship with Beyonce is extremely amicable. I want to make that clear. Where there's concern is the people that she's doing business with," he said. "I'm challenging all of these folks on integrity, professional integrity."Mathew says he doesn't think he was fired because of the allegations against him:
"She changed almost every aspect of her business. The team ironically appeared to be a cross-pollination of Beyonce's team, Roc Nation's team, and Live Nation's team, who ironically have the most to gain."
On whether or not he's spoken to his daughter about the allegations he says he told her:
"The only way we will be able to understand this is through a court of law. That's the only way either one of us will be clear if someone in our camps did something that was not correct."
Although Beyonce's lastest offer 4 is successful, it's not as successful as her previous album. Mathew blames her camp and her label for that. "They put out the record in a vacuum," he said, adding that her success came despite setbacks.
"It makes you believe that there are some artists that don't need radio. There are some records that don't need a record label, and Beyonce is one of those artists."
