Why is Beyoncé Not Speaking to Father, Mathew?

Pop goddess Beyoncé has fallen out with her father, Mathew Knowles, and has refused to speak or meet with him under any circumstances, the New York Post reports. The rift between the two has also placed Mathew’s relationship with Columbia Records in great peril.

The record-setting Grammy winning songstress was reportedly “horrified” when she learned that her father had engaged in an 18-month sexual affair with 38-year-old Alexsandra Wright.

Worse, it was akin to being punched in the stomach when the starlet learned that paternity tests confirmed that Mathew was indeed the father of Wright’s baby, Nixon.


Mathew guided Beyoncé’s career through her days with Destiny’s Child and is still her manager of record.

But, as the Post reports, “Beyoncé was horrified to find out her dad cheated on her mom [Tina]. 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.”


Columbia execs are very concerned that their fractured relationship will cause long-term or irreparable damage to Beyonce’s career. –terry shropshire
