Beyonce and Matthew Knowles
Beyonce and Matthew Knowles are obviously not a couple but the break-up of their long-term manager to artist relationship was a shock. Matthew Knowles served as Beyonce’s manager since the early 1990’s until March 28th, 2011 when Beyonce announced the break-up. Matthew’s reputation preceded him as a manager who bent more than a few corners to make sure Beyonce landed on top. Mission accomplished: By the end of 2010 Beyonce was listed as the most successful female artist by Billboard. Forward to 2011, Beyonce released her lowest selling album “4” under new management and Matthew Knowles has filed paperwork with the courts to declare his innocence of theft charges brought on by Live Nation and Beyonce. If the relationship wasn’t strained enough Beyonce’s pregnancy is now overshadowed by a rumor that Matthew asked his mistress to give up their child to Beyonce and Jay-Z to raise as their own!!
