Three years before she booted Mathew Knowles from her management camp, ‘Speechless’ singer Beyonce faced claims she had agreed to “whiten” her skin as part of a lucrative deal with the French cosmetics company ‘L’Oreal.’
This year, as he prepares to release take her story to the big screen, Knowles has finally spoken out about the drama she faced when the rumour hit the net.
Telling all in a recent interview with the ‘Wall Street Journal’, Knowles also revealed how a deal he signed in 2003 saw he and Beyonce tied to business moves made by her competitor Mary J. Blige.
Hit the 12 minute mark below…
Wait. So Mathew used to manage one of Bey’s rival. Unethical or nah?
All the tea is coming out today!!! I wonder how many contacts and ideas he stole from Mary to give to his daughter.
Wonder why Tamar’s singles started flopping after Vince got investigated by the IRS.
LOL, U’RE SO RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!! MRS. VINCE HERBERT WAS IN FACT CHECKED BY THE I.R.S…..LOL
You act like her singles was #1 on billboard hot 100 if he was buying her songs why didn’t they go #1 and lmk Is still in the top 20 on bb rnb with hardly any push so what do u mean and please don’t go all shaniqua on me because tay got the hive scared
Tamar running around calling LMK a buzz track because Vince couldn’t buy her a new #1? Life must be TOUGH!
I KNOW RIGHT!!!!!!! THAT SONG CAME AND WENT FASTER THAN LOVE ON TOP FALLING OFF THE I TUNES-CHART!!!!!!LOL
The nerve of you to come for Beyonce when Tamar is her biggest impersonator! THE F****** NERVE OF YOU! Don’t MAKE me start on that itunes trickery she and her man did with Love and war.
I see nothing wrong with “bleaching” or “skin lighting”… Do what makes YOU happy. If yo ass wanna be white, then s*** go turn white.
I can’t!
And if you don’t know what to say don’t say s***.. !!
He’s still telling this lie that DC is the biggest selling girl group, smh. Spice Girls are the best selling girl group of all time, then DC. and before the TLC stans run in here, DC sold more records WW, making them #2
LIES! DC did not TLC did look it up
TLC is 65 million Worldwide, dc is 60 million. Look it up.
TLC’s US numbers are still larger tho.
Stop the lies. TLC is the second biggest selling girl group WORLDWIDE after The Spice Girls, and The biggest selling girl group in the U.S. That hasn’t changed, so its time you DC fans got over it.
This is gonna be good.

This must have been during Mary’s cocaine years.
She learned how to lie from him, that camp has nointegrity
Don’t think that Rihanna is any more truthful… All famous people are liars. IMO
Not him spilling all the secrets.
Y’all are naive if you don’t know how shady the music industry is, everybody is connected to make the people at the top richer.
Rihanna will never be able to slay Beyonce until she fires RN because Beyonce’s husband OWNS RN.
Instead of the Navi realizing what this means they drag Beyonce and still haven’t realized that everything Rihanna does goes through Beyonce who has been stealing her ideas FOR YEARS.
But she has been ‘slaying’ for years now, and has surpassed Beyonce in single sales. No one is holding anyone back. It’s so sad that y’all can’t stand the fact that two black women are co-existing on such a huge level in music. There is room for many to slay. Beyonce aint on the roc nation board, neither does she manage anything with Rih’s career. Stop being stupid.
Rih has proven her staying power, and bey practically a legend at this point. Let them live, and stop with these idiotic stan wars.
The only being stupid is YOU b****. OPEN YOUR EYES! Jay runs Rihanna’s career and is married to her biggest rival.
LMFAO Y’all take this stan s*** too far, seek help. Rihanna is the best selling artist of the digital era, explain to me how she is being held back? More #1s than anyone this decade, she plays stadiums etc etc. She is as successful as one can be. Yonce slays too.
there. is. room. for. everyone. to. be. great…. jeez get a life.
Jay Brown is Rihanna’s mgr.in roc nation You think he’s going to sabotage Rihanna’s career when the more money rihanna makes the more money he makes.?
Why would Mary agree to this?
No surprises here 2bh. I know how the game works and nothing shocks me anymore. You think it’s a coincidence that Beyonce’s biggest fan site (TGJ) has got this interesting habit of promoting singers signed to her man’s label.
Beyonce took ALL the right genes from her mother & father. Its like she grabbed the absolute BEST parts about their looks.
Right! And theres so many jealous dummies who can’t admit that and can’t tell a spotlight from bronzer smh.
Just look at this footage age 12 and tell me she lightens her skin again. Some dummies in the world!

You must be sad individual with no self-respect Stephy. Take your stupid ass back to Twitter. Stay there and continue holding your meetings with the rest of the no-life-having hoës who come here every once in a while. God this chick is stupid.
So u’re calling him stupid, because he is not dissing/bashing BEYONCE?????????????? #NAVYLOGIC
That thing is not a member of the navy. It’s an undercover bey stan! It dedicates more of its time on this site to Beyoncé & the hive than it does rihanna & the navy!!
Did you not see the “bleaching” and/or the “skin lightening” part surprise? You know what, I’m not surprised. You fleas are illiterate highschool dropouts that never reach college and spend most of your time on twitter and blogs praising a HUMAN BEING. #FleaLogic
Matthew is grimmy. Just grimmy ewww. This is not just one of your clients. It’s your daughter!! Your fricking daughter!! Who tf does and says s*** like this about their own child?? Their own damn seed?? Eww just ewww!!
What did he do??
I’m sorry but I don’t believe anything that comes out of this man’s mouth. Bey and Solange don’t even f*** with him anymore, he didn’t even get invite to her wedding I mean I don’t even think he ever met Blue
@Vision of Mimi Sit your ass down! You gon sit there and act like didn’t use to imitate Beyonce like crazy b**** bye
Sam why didn’t you do a post on Rihanna’s father spilling the tea
Did I make someone mad-T with my lovely presence?!
I agree with Stephy bleaching to me is no different than getting a nose job or dying your hair.
That skin lightening ish is bull. Beyonce has always been light skin. Look at pictures of her as a child. She was always the lightest in DC as well.She actually wanted to appear darker during the Dangerously In Love era, so she used pounds of bronzer. Also, Roc nation has nothing to do with Bey’s careers. There is a reason she gets bigger deals then almost all of their artist including Jay himself.
Thank You Molly

I mean, b****** act like its still 1990. Like, who cares??? If you feel as tho that will make you feel better about yo (dumb) self. Then why not. In THIS new era we live in… Its all about doing YOU! If yo ass wanna be openly gay or turn white or be transgender then DO IT! People need to start excepting people for who THEY are & not what they’re “suppose” to be. BYE
I guess self hatred is the new black. **Shoulder shrugs***. You have the right to your opinion but I respectfully disagree.
I don’t really believe that much from him but whatever. He’s trash.
Isn’t Molly the Notorious Maid and Stephy white and/or light skin? *Facepalm* I can’t with these self-hating and ignorant hoēs. One day they’re go it, the next they’re against it. Y’all make Matthew look like the most stable person. Back to twitter…
At the end of the day, he’s still Beyonce’s father, and without him, there would be no Beyonce. Smart business man.
Plus we don’t know for sure if Bey n Sol don’t F*** with him anymore at all.

I want the biopic to be put out this year!! I want all the tea
Honestly, you can go kill yo-self. And, umm do me a favor & NEVER address me again! Thx’s
Anyway, the video is boring. As usual, TGJ blows everything out of proportion. Bey’s father is trash. Goodluck with the child support Mathew.
What would you expect from people like Stephy who used their twitter handles to come and comment on this site? Do you not get enough love and attention from your loved? And now this bittch wants me die? *SMDH* Get it together sweetheart.
-…loved ones…
-…to die…
You’re annoying. Do us all a favor and STFU.
Here’s your jam:
m.youtube.com/watch?v=k4YRWT_Aldo
Now STFU and start twerking flea bag. 🙂
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k4YRWT_Aldo
Y’all commenters clearly didn’t watch the video! He didn’t say anything negative really, he was somewhat shady but he didn’t say anything out of the way. I wanna know what happened on the tour bus tho!
Exactly!! He spoke nothing but logic truth. Just by watching this video, I know that he’s a smart ass business man and now I see why Beyonce is so coined. She’s also a very smart business woman and is always involved in her work. He taught them a lot.
@metzo, As if your basic ass could process anything you’ve just watched. You must have a headache. Here:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=k4YRWT_Aldo
he’s dissing LeToya and LaTavia… again. Matthew and his camp came up with the theory that the Casey twins talked L&L into being bigger than their boots… when the truth is that he was stealing money from them. Just like he was stealing money from K&M and Bey herself.
@B2B What I really want the T on is why LeToya’s mom was kicked off the tour bus LOOOOOL a mess!
Matthew does everything in strategy, so you have to be really careful what you believe he’s revealing, because he’s most likely just manipulating you. If he’ll manipulate his own family, then why are we any different? Anywho, Beyoncé definitely didn’t bleach her skin. I’m extremely light in the winter, and more along the Aaliyah like color in the summer. It is natural for all people skin color to darken and lighten.
Aaliyah was light until the summertime then she would tan and get darker.
Speaking of Mary J. Blige, why haven’t we seen a post for The London Sessions? It’s her best since The Breakthrough.
NO ITS NOT!
And what are you still doing here? Shouldn’t your racist ass be on Twitter or other blogs. GTFOH bish.
There is alot of things I can say about Beyonce but bleaching isn’t one of them. That’s a stretch. She definitely did get a nose job though..
No she did not. Beyonce uses contouring makeup like majority of stars now.
Good interview I love it
Beyoncé bleach her skin, she just don’t go too far, she doesn’t complete her Mequinol treatment, so her skin remains lighter for a specific time then it goes back to its original skin tone, y’all should learn more about this stuff, it’s not only her, Rihanna is natural tho.
Shut up, what would you know about black skin tone? Have you seen what Beyonce looked like as a child? She is the SAME color. She bronzes her skin and wears stage makeup a lot not the other way.
How tf are you going to tell us what WE need to do?
WE have been black 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, 7/11. Pretty sure we are more well versed about this topic than you are.
She doesn’t bleach.
i see you’re spewing your ignorance again. News flash, people of color tan too. Bey and Rih spend way to much time in the sun to be bleaching. They’re skin would be severely damaged if they did. Like I said it before, the more you talk the more you expose your lack of intellect.
I see this fool still hasn’t killed himself. Dear S******, you unloved piece of white trash, please do us all a favor, “And i’m sure your family feels this way as well”, please go kill yourself. Not a few months from now, nor a few days or hours, RIGHT NOW. THANKS.
Can’t stand Mathew but he didn’t really say anything bad in this. People who believe the skin bleaching rumors are stupid, Beyonces always been light she has not need to bleach lol. But Mathew must be thirsty for something with all these interviews.
Everybody going in on Daddy Knowles but he knows Beyoncé’s secrets better then anyone. I know at this point what does have to lose absolutely nothing. Even though it’s corny of him to be telling secrets now that he is on the outside looking in.
*sips*
Good Businessman. Bad Family Man.
I see Beyonce fans are still fighting even after Matthew explained that Audience = sales.
‘
Sam needs this stan war to continue so he can build his audience and sell more advertising/get more clicks, Matthew just explained this.
‘
It is 2015, both Beyonce and Rihanna can co-exist as they always have, get over the stan war, grow up and let them be. Beyonce’s success won’t stop Rihanna’s success and vice versa, their homosexual fans need to realize that and keep it moving.
Said the main troll on this site… Oh the irony.
The irony, this coming from the number one pressed, hating ass, power bottom f**. B**** stfu.
Arent you TGJ Famous for being a Level Five Beyonce Hater?
Matthew is like that one person everybody at church hates to get the microphone. He just needs to raise manage his own problems because managing artists is no longer his area of expertise. He is still trying to use his daughter to capitalize.
Sigh @suicideblonde.
Are you surprised? if thats the case then you are definatly new here..

There is next to nohing wrong with self improvement to one’s self. But, skin lightening? Come on Bey, with all the riches, still not happy? Where is the REAL Beyonce? You don’t look like Beyonce.
