Mathew Knowles is making some pretty shocking accusations against his daughter Beyonce and her husband Jay Z. The couple has been the subject of endless divorce rumors for months with one report claiming the pair will officially end their four year marriage once their joint tour wraps in September.
Beyonce and Jay Z have not addressed the rumors, but Matthew Knowles did and claims it was all staged by the couple. The 63-year-old did a radio interview with Roula and Ryan on 104.1 in Houston and said it was a gimmick to drive up ticket sales for their On The Run tour.
"I know, because we've done this. From experience, there's a tour going on," he said, according to Radar Online. "So you sometimes have to ignite that tour."
"All I know is the Jedi mind trick. Everyone's talking about it. Ticket sales went up. Solange's album sales went up 200 percent," Knowles added. "The Jedi mind trick fools you a lot of times, so things you see sometimes are [makes noise that sounds like 'poof']."
And you remember that elevator fight between Jay Z and Solange Knowles? Also fake, at least according to Beyonce's dad. Knowles also talked about Destiny's Child and hinted that fans could see a possible reunion tour.
"I still am the manager of Destiny's Child," he said. "And when you see Destiny's Child on TV and see them doing songs together, slowly - now they've done two, they were recently on TV - I don't know, [there] might be another Destiny's Child album coming. There might be this tour that makes history, that's Destiny's Child featuring Beyonce, Kelly and Michelle. Can you imagine what that would be like?"
Do you buy Matthew Knowles' claims or is it his own "Jedi mind trick"?
