Following a dramatic fall from grace, Mathew Knowles has largely shunned the spotlight.
Indeed, the once formidable manager of Destiny’s Child and Beyonce had largely retired from the public eye after severing ties with his superstar offspring in 2011; the same period in which wife Tina Knowles filed for divorce and details of his extra-marital affairs (which produced two children) became mass media fodder. His Music World empire also closed up shop.
Now, the Knowles patriarch is attempting to rise like a phoenix by way of a new bootcamp which he’s christened ‘The Entertainment Industry: How Do I Get In?’
To plug the class (tickets for which are $1500 each), Mathew sat down for an interview on ‘The Breakfast Club.’
Naturally, hosts DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne did not hold back. As such, discussed were his current relationship with Destiny’s Child, the group’s long-awaited reunion, Beyonce, and a whole lot more.
Tea cups and popcorn at the ready? Mathew’s must-see interview after the jump…

I was hoping for a Destinys Child reunion. But then I see how hard he grinding for money and I’m like no just no. He doing anything for money! Its so sad seriously. He must be behind on child support by year’s. Smh poor guy.
BISH…. I SCREAMED when I saw that he showed up to the Breakfast Club.
Let me sit somewhere real nice and get my life!!!!
meh, the interview was boring af.
he dodged all the juicy questions.
He said Pink is exactly the Same age as Beyonce. Pink was born in 1979. Oh my.
Don’t read to much into it. My mother forgets me and my siblings ages at times to LOL!
That wasn’t no mistake…. he said P!nk, Usher and Beyonce were all the same age. It’s well known that artist lie about there age in the music Bizniz. Look how Nicki got exposed.
Well everyone knows that its no secret. But explain why before he said she was EXACTLY the same age as pink. He quoted “Beyonce was around 11 or 12 when she was on Star Search” She was on Star Search in 1993. Beyonce was born 1981. Showing the timeline to be exact with what he said. She would have been 11 or 12 in 1993 depending in what month they were in the show.
Mmmm but the way he said it tho. I wouldn’t put emphasis on it either. Seems like he was speaking in range wise afterwards.
I think he was speaking range wise, because he did say she was 11 or 12 on star search which was in ’93 she was born in ’91, I used to always think Usher & bet was the same age but they’re actually not
I meant 81 lol
No no. He said exactly and we’ve all heard the rumors about her age.
I mean 2 years isn’t much of a difference but it’s been proven several time that she was born in 81 & maybe he thinks pink is 34
He also said Beyoncé was 11 or 12 on star search she was on there in 1993 she was born in 81 so that would make her 11 or 12 depending on the month
There was not enough tea here! I neede Kelly questions! Wassup with Letoya and Latavia im so disappointed in Breafast Club with this they usually pull the nastiness out of people. Ugh I needed more!
Lol! Charlemagne tried it to pull Matthews h.o.e. card but Matthew ain’t no h.o.e. I see. I like charlemagne some times but I’m glad he met the one. Other than that, I don’t think there was no tea here lol. It seems like Matthew had them all low key shook. So they did hold back. O well, still a good interview tho.
I’m not here for this empty pot, where da Tea at?
This man is clearly lookin for a come up for money! I really hope if DC gets back together they keep Mathew out of it! This man really gets under my skin. At the end of the day they didnt answer any questions we all already didnt know!
I hope the same. But they can’t keep him out no matter what. He created the group and has partial ownership. As long as they use the name Destinys Child he will always get a cut of the profit.
They do not have to use the groups name they can go by DC3 or their own names.
Charlemagne thought he could handle the man responsible for Captain Petty hahahha he got shut down again and again
Destiny’s Child could definitely pull a Danity Kane and go by DC3. It doesn’t matter if they had the same name as before anyway because people remember them and they are still relevant.
To use a different name they would have to come up with another record deal and thy won’t find a good one because I’m sure they are gonna trap the girls into doing like 5 albums. And going independent is nice but when your already used to big deals
DC5 not 3
#DC5orNothing
yawn, this interview is boring. matthew trying to shade charlamagne is funny, but other than that there’s no tea at all.
Boring. If he’s not talking about robbing his artists, cheating with strippers, having 10 kids with other woman, his label being banned from radio etc. then I don’t care….
His label was banned from radio??
I hope he can teach plenty of families how to get over in music industry. Ashanti mother was pretty good in managing her that’s how she got so far. Rihanna, nobody like her but she got pretty big by herself in which I give her credit.
Rihanna had Jay-z u dumb f**k.
You know I usually don’t respond to ignorant people but you can’t help it. See, you talk like you know me; but you don’t know that it is obvious that she HAS to work at a label into marketing her music. Rihanna has been deeply living through trails and tribulations while we watch her growing up in the music industry from her legally birth age. It is steaming through her music in which some people can relate. She didn’t come in to be cool, to fit in, or to get your approval on how down it goes. One thing I want to tell you that, I like Mathew from this day on. No, I love him because he put people like Charmalagne however you spell that incompetence embarrassment like you to shame. Stay simple……bawhahaha
Lmao yup Rihanna is the product of Jay-Z hence thats why she was rocafella now she’s roc nation! Who you think.invested money on her. She don’t write songs nor produce em. Jay signed her and put the money in!
Lmao BISH PLEASE!!!! We are talking about the same person. The Rihanna that got her a** beat and then did an interview about how she wanted to make real music fastforward 5 years and this bish saying ‘I started to feel like the songs weren’t me. I found myself not really wanting to perform my music anymorw. So I want my new album to be real music. I want to be able to sings sngs songs that will live forever and be classic! KIIIIIII!!!!! This bish wouldn’t have that problem if she wrote her own damn songs. Even she herself realizes the hits she made are bubble gum pop songs. She needs to stick to what she knows and keep taking the hits that are made for her.
Matthew can’t teach families anything because he only has one very famous child from his family. Vs Joe Jackson whom had several famous children and that is the Jackson 5 (The Jacksons name change in the mid 70’s) Michael, and Janet basically everything Matthew learned about how to make your child famous he learned from Joe Jackson.
No tea concerning Letoya and Latavia being fired
No tea on the divorce and side children ???
Apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.
Chile watching this interview shows muah that the Knowles family r exactly like each other… The Breakfast Club has muah hyped af wen I saw this was going down, but Matthew didn’t deliver. Beyoncè fans live 2 make her performances seem God like, but Beyoncè never delivers the hype… It’s the same wig whips and multiple prerecorded tracks playing while The Mamas carry the show. Knowles family = a bunch of hype, with no deliverance.
LMFAO!! You tried it honey! But the world disagrees. You got BEYONCE MIXED WITH RIHANNA HAHAHAHA
What i got from this interview is that Mathew SCHOOLED all the naysayers. He is extremely media savvy and he knows how to keep in control of the interview. He shut down all the rumors that surrounded him..well most of them. I low key dont think he is as broke as everyone claims he is..He seems like a smart business man who knows how to play the game to his advantage. I dont think he had to steal Beyonce’s money either. He is too clever of a businessman.
He stay trying to get attention off Beyonce.. He never talks about Solange I mean he acts as if she doesn’t exist
