TMZ.com has obtained a photo of a newborn which they allege to be Beyonce’s half-brother, Nixon. I’m sure TMZ paid a grip for that photo, but that’s besides the point. The point is that Matthew Knowles denies paternity of the child — and he has yet to take a paternity test.

According to TMZ, Alexsandra Wright, a former employee of Knowles’ sued him for child support back in October before the child was even born! Talk about putting the cart before the horse.

She then gave birth to Nixon on February 4. Wright claims she carried on an 18-month affair with Knowles.

That may be true, but until there is a paternity test, why should we believe the child is Matthew’s? If Alexsandra had an illicit affair with a married man, it would seem she has no morals, no character or self respect. A woman like that will sleep with anyone.

On the other hand, why hasn’t Matthew taken a paternity test yet to prove his innocence?

“We are not aware of the birth of a child. These rumors are untrue,” he said in a statement to TMZ.
