While promoting his new book, ‘Destiny’s Child: The Untold Story,’ their former manager Mathew Knowles told a story to our friends at VLADTV that started a firestorm.
As we reported here, the music mogul dished on the early days of the best-selling girl group by also discussing some of their early hardships. One such “bump in the road” was an incident where, according to Knowles, a teenage Kelly Rowland reported members of R&B group Jagged Edge were harassing her and Beyoncé. And, while Mathew never specifically stated the harassment was of a sexual nature (even though it was strongly implied), J.E.’s alleged misconduct led him to permanently dissolve his business relationship with them at the time.
Just moments after the explosive accusation hit the net Tuesday (December 10), the #Beyhive – Bey’s beloved fan group – sprung to action and began swarming the ‘Let’s Get Married’ maestros’ respective social media handles with bee emojis and insults. The response led some of the members to clap back.
See what we mean inside:
After hours of insults like the one’s seen below pelted their way…
…group member Brian Casey hit back with:

The BeeHIV+e are a bunch of pathetic loose power bottoms in the ballroom scene. We continue to pay them dust.
you sound like a bitter ass queen that got rejected by many a House for your basicness… dont come for ballroom bich. stay in ya lane and keep it aimed that the wreckless hive.
Fvck the ballroom queens. Y’all amount to nothing but stunt queens who windmill because you didn’t win a plastic trophy. Pull up.
@King Khia
Go da fvck awf! Lls
I agree that 98% of the hive are toxic AF among other choice adjectives. Don’t completely agree with your reference to the ballroom scene. But you got spunk. Thanks for the morning chuckle.
Mathew still sour at Jagged edge because they stood up to him when he tried to kick Letoyas momma off the bus in the middle of no where.
When and why did he try to kick her mom off the bus?
Fo watch their unsung on TV1 they went into details..Latavia even cosigned
Matthew wasn’t into having another parent around – especially not Miss Pam who is an accountant and could have caught him stealing money from the group early on. Everytime there was a contract for the girls to sign the Knowles would threaten to kick LeToya out to keep her family from actually supervising it and having a say.
Glad someone else remembers! Matthew tryna rewrite the facts but we remember
We’ll never forget!
LeToya was like tone deaf, Beyoncé says. She wasn’t even originally a singershe was a rapper, Kelly adds. Beyoncé agrees, then continues: LaTavia was originally brought in the group as a dancer. She was my best friend, and I wanted her to be in the group.
It was like being in a bad marriage when you have kids and you act like you’re happy, says Beyoncé. And act they did. But once the cameras stopped rolling it was a different story. Beyoncé and Kelly believe LaTavia and LeToya changed when boys got in their heads (the boys being twins Brandon and Brian Casey from the group Jagged Edge). They lost focus, Beyoncé says. They didn’t want to do interviews, rehearse, or take voice lessons. Anybody that met us could see that me and Kelly were one group and they were another. It was obvious. LeToya denies her ex-boyfriend Brian and his brother had anything to do with the demise of that incarnation of the group. Nevertheless, the rift grew into a Grand Canyon-sized divide when Mathew Knowles had LeToya’s mother, Pamela Luckett, ejected from the tour bus one evening in Baton Rouge. Knowles claims Luckett was not covered by the insurance company to ride in the vehicle, and that the girls didn’t want her there. Outraged that someone would have the gall to kick someone’s mama off the bus,Brian says he and the guys of Jagged Edge, who were on tour with the girls at the time, left the bus in protest. We were just so disgusted, Brian says. Not for one minute did those girls [Beyoncé and Kelly] put themselves in LeToya’s shoes.
In a letter dated January 17, 2000, Beyoncé wrote, I have shared some of the best moments in my life with the two of you by my side. I have also shared some of the worst. She then went on to list several transgressions perpetrated against her by LeToya and LaTavia.I never complained when you didn’t sing one note on numerous songs on the album. I’ve never complained that when I was working my b*** off in the studio, as I did on the last album, that the two of you were both either sleeping or on your phones approximately 80 percent of the time. I never complained when the two of you were lipsinging [sic] to my vocals on some of the videos and onstage. In fact, I only helped make our contributions appear to be equal to the public. By the end of her letter Beyoncé was clearly heated: Approximately every three weeks (or less) there is drama caused by one or both of you! It has been this way for at least the past two years and I don’t deserve this!
Tina Knowles backs her daughter’s claims. From the time LeToya got in the group there was always drama, always jealousy, always madness, she says. People don’t know all the crap that we’ve been through with LeToya and LaTavia. By the time the management thing came, Beyoncé and Kelly had been so miserable it was the last insult they could take. Tina adds, You give people an inch and they take a mile, and that’s basically what happened. Beyoncé and Kelly kissed their butts all the time, spoke to them first, and then went into the studio and did all the work.
@Truth – Yup! She was standing up for her daughter. She wanted to be there to protect her because there was NO ADULT THERE. Matthew didn’t like her around. He wanted to get rid of her like he did the woman who STARTED DESTINY’S CHILD (who later died due to illness.)
@Paulo – Yes that is true too and this was written about in the book that some white guy wrote about the group.
when farrah joined, she said that she was forced to dye her hair red to look like latavia’s replacement and one of the former members said they were forced to tan so that bey was the lightest. i guess farrah said that as well. wow. ten years later.
Just spray the B*****+e with PREP medication. That’s how you repel them.
ok yall need to realize that Whoever in the Beyhive decided to go out and buy Bey’s daddy’s book (in his attempts to continue earning money off of Destiny’s Child’s kidnapped name); aint really support Bey. ya’ll foolish af. she wouldn’t want yall to buy that. sit da f** down clowns and hand in your bey stan mnembership cards cuz yall done
Jagged edge’s members have always looked like actual rats to me…
Matthew true colors are starting to show. I used to shame bey for not supporting her father and now I see why. This man is really erratic
Beehive is the stupidest thing ever. Beyonce doesnt need THIS kind of publicity. She can manage her ish herself. A bunch of rabid obsessed lost ass folks with nothing to do but harass busy people with more important things to worry about. They dont even realize that they’re ruining her legacy with empty BS threats. Like omg, this is going to make the news and it’s going attention yet again away from Beyonces music, her Adidas line and put it on old ass drama drummed up by an old money hungry adultering fool. Who is also her father. You cant make this stuff up.
Matthew is turning sour really bad beyonce and Solange need to see their dad. I’m sure beyonce did not want him to report this. However, he said it’s in his book that was a scene in his life but come on Matthew them woman are grown and married cut it out.
OMG, he’s f’ing lying. I’m so sick of these mf-ing people. They’re sick!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was once a fan Of Jagged Edge’s music not them personally. La Tavia and La Toya was dating the twins back then. For some reason they were not attracted to Beyonce stuck up ways. I don’t know what Kelly has to do with this; somehow it disturbed Beyonce’s ego. They (Jagged Edge) suggested that they leave that group upon the girls out-pours and concerns with their thoughts they gave to them while dating. This narcissist demonic egotistical demon Mathew is mixing lies with the truth. Narcissist as of today can only implode themselves eventually. People who are not aware of this are going to eventually get tired of their intelligence being insulted for a damn profit. Whew! the devil is a liar… Go Away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matthew is such a creep
Jagged Edge has a video titled gots to be which features all 4 original members playing their GF. Mathew didn’t seem to have a problem with then Adults casting supposed minors as love interest… Bey and them was either 16 or 17 in that video.
Also this drama is EXTREMELY old, anyway here’s the video they did with supposed minors
https://youtu.be/x__KXCwD8LY
Dumbass foolish kids. Real Hive knows better than to trust Matthew.
I’m very confused. If this is true, WHY would Mathew Knowles put the girls in Jagged Edge’s “Gotta Be” video?!?!?!?
