When Beyonce Knowles caused an online sensation with her pregnancy news, her father, Mathew Knowles, learned about her pregnancy along with the rest of the world.
Mathew, who is Beyonce’s former manager, said he had no idea his own daughter was pregnant until he started receiving congratulatory text messages.
“I was shocked,” he told The Insider. “Let me tell you what happened. I got a first text, and I was like, ‘Why is this person saying congratulations?’ Then I get a second text from one of my students at Texas Southern, and I was like, ‘What are you talking about?’ He was like, ‘Go to the web.’ I didn’t know myself.”
He said he called Beyonce, who sounded tired after rehearsing for the upcoming Grammy Awards, set for Feb. 12.
“I was like ‘B,’ (and) she said, ‘Hi, Dad.’ I was like, ‘You’re OK?’ Because she sounded a little tired because she’s working on the GRAMMY performance,” he revealed. “We just had a wonderful daughter-dad conversation… I’m looking forward to seeing her soon and I told her, ‘Look, slow down a little bit. You need to slow down a little bit.'”
He praised his daughter’s way of breaking the news, calling it a “smart move” and added her daughter Blue Ivy, five, was feeling excited about being a big sister.
I was looking at the video of Ivanka’s daughter singing in Chinese. #boring. I wanna see blue sing in chinese??????
She’s clearly closer to her mom.
I have a hard time believing this story
Oh great! Here we go again…. Next post please…
Not hard to believe…I talk to my biological on holidays only….but.my step dad almost everyday?
um, their estranged … lol
I mean, did she or Tina know he had TWO chicks pregnit?
Matty Knowles is the originator of keeping it private. I don’t believe for ONE second he didn’t know this. And he also knew what he was doing by telling about them Grammys
I think she can relate with the cheating and all.
Its no secret they are not close anymore
*files this in thee Does It Really Even Matter file*
If this is true then why is it a surprise?
Most children have nothing to do with the messy parent.
Beyonce dad did Tina wrong but I think he always loved his girls. It’s no need to be that way to him. Maybe she thought he would tell.
BLOOP
How soon did he talk about the last 2 children he fathered?
It matters to somepony who said the no cares.
Hi…u gonna post yo bump pics in yo drawlz soon?
Do he even got her phone number? Was it the assistant.
I don’t think she broke her neck to tell him, considering their past issues! He don’t seem like he’s the active grand daddy anyway!
yesss with the shade!
He is such a pig.
I think she took the issues between her parents very, very personal.. when ur dad is ur role model of a perfect man, but then he shows that he’s just as bad as any other man, it could definitely put a strain on what WAS a healthy relationship..
Oh okay. ?
I get that he did her mom wrong and hurt the family and all of that…..just amazing how it was fine and well when he spun lies to help her career, but now it is “The horror” when they find out he is a better liar than they thought.
All the dirt he “allegedly” did to former group members, people they worked with, folks who wrote songs, etc…………THIS was who HE WAS!!
And if she can forgive Jay for “allegedly” cheating……….time to move on!!
But…..#EH
I don’t think he was perfect at all…..I think he got sloppy and showed the world that they weren’t as perfect as they seemed to be and that was the real issue.
Yeah I agree! I can see where you going. My dad always cheated on my mom. I was so happy when she finally left. I love my stepdad because he is excellent to her. She told us to forgive our biological dad and we did. I think it’s harder for Bey because Mathew was so perfect and then finally messed up his marriage. He is stupid and it was in the public eye.

This has FB lit right now … lol.

Hilarious ???
I am having a “Call a Spade a Spade” day today. So far 2 people here at work have been called out on bs. Probably should stay at my desk for the rest of the day.
This is crazy, I’ve called Library, pharmacy and grocery store and they are FRESH outta who gives a damn. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1cdbc57431c1702533ce9eed0d5873adff8525a0049ccf52e8de320af422cbe4.gif
I am getting a new car battery installed this weekend….but still want my gift on the 14th! CTHU
Lmfaoo
Then I get a second text from one of my students at Texas Southern
———————————————-
Shout out to my alumni!!!
It’s crazy how Beyoncé is pregnant—and suddenly the world ends
I have those days often. You about to have the comments on fire. ???
Mine just asked me and I said take my car to get the interior cleaned. Your child is disrespectful to that back seat … lol
Some men make better fathers than they do husbands…
Mine too!!!!
How do you watch a movie on your phone (at work) and the damn subtitles are from a different movie? Thankfully it is in English, but the words are distracting.
Anyhoo, what did you all eat or gonna eat for lunch?
2?? Wow
Matthew been cheating on Tina their whole relationship. Its when he started having side babies that she had to leave. She had to draw the line somewhere.
CTHU…..thank you for the reminder……list car detailed on list of things I need done.
What year did you graduate?
That bih named Karma huh??

03. U?
True, so get the fukk over it and move on. How long you gonna stay mad when ya momma knew before you were born that your daddy wasn’t shyt and rumor has it….Ya hubby ain’t either!!
But I digress
Lmbao
She is vicious!! And folks hate when she visit!!
So it begins…
OT: So the Brittney Jones chick has been trying to be a porn star for some time.
Right..Everybody on facebook just throwing out goals and what not! Got these gals round here trying to surfboard for twinz. I donth think Bey dont understand the POWER she seem to hold
????
But he was probably the first to know about the children he denied!!!
CTHU….but CicI ain’t sad…….apparently she has the BETTER hubby and she and her daddy are close.
to HER he may was perfect, as a child she probably wasn’t aware of infidelity ..as a adult, to peep that behavior from ur dad, probably really just dismantled their relationship
I sear for the life of me I don’t understand how that is anyone’s aspiration.
No offense why are you bringing up irrelevant stuff.
dido lmao!
2004
We might know each other….Did you ever live in the Courtyards?
They shunned him after he got caught cheating on their mother and produced another baby….I wonder which straw broke the camels back, the cheating ore the baby part
Looks like the Knowles are way off their PR game. Sprites are angry because this pregnancy is making major headlines. What Matty did was just remind the public that his daughter/former meal ticket are no longer close.
The baby of course
the baby, DEFINITELY! lol
If it wasn’t for Papa Matt Beyonce wouldn’t even be talked about now. She would be irrelevant. Because NOONE would know who she was..
TBH, that’s just the way the record business works…You gotta play dirty to win.
No. I lived at home. I’m from Houston. Finance. Business school.
That girl KNEW her daddy wasn’t shyt…..her damn outside sister was her group mate and best friend!! FOH!! She (and her Momma) just got upset that their perfect family’s true colors were shown in full force and this time ole Matt couldn’t pay the folks enough to STFU!! Ain’t no price on a woman scorned and Matt found out quick!
Gotcha. I majored in Journalism-PR major.
Cause I feel like it. No other reason than that!!
#NEXT — no shade though
He can’t hold water.
So what is the new name of Black History Month?
That man don’t know the difference between nationality, religion and ethnicity? Mr Time said, so I can’t celebrate, since I’m an American of West Indian decent
True, but when someone is REALLY, REALLY, MATTHEW KNOWLES level good at it…….I side eye them in real life.
We knew this anyways though. They still love their dads though. Solange even put him on her album and I LOVE Daddy Lessons. Its one of my favorite songs off Lemonade.
Her pregnancy made Headlines on our lil bitty local news stations… The un-colored folk was sooooo mad…giggles! They were like its real things going on in the World
It has already begun and I got time until about 4:30EST then my weekend starts.
LMBO
Oh I see. I rode by there yesterday. I was at a tech high school close to UH for a volunteer assignment. I almost cried. I was like dang, look at all of the changes. I haven’t been over there in a long time. I went to frenchys. Lol
LMFAOOOO…..Bey said, “Hi Dad.”… but I bet it sounded like…”Niggah WTF you want?”
LMAO what kinda bootleg website did you find the movie on…and what are you watching?
Dont start… The nerve!!! He seeks attention more than my 5 year old. He only wanted a reaction behind it.. I SAY PLEASE DONT GIVE HIM A REACTION. maybe he will move to the left to the left
But Kelly was okay, huhn?!
It was the BM coming out publicly about it that broke that camel’s back.
Question. Arm 16 is going to be a broadcast journalist. Whats your opinion on her double majoring in Journalism or do you think Mass Communications will suffice?
So they didn’t know about his baby either
Im sure she didnt even say “hi Dad” just answered yeah I am, let me call you back
Called Popcorn Time and the kids put me onto it. The movie is The Crooked Man…which is lame so far. It is one called the The Autopsy of Jane Doe that was pretty good though.
I’ve met him before at a Music World party. He was flirting with my friends mom, HEAVY in front of everyone. Beyonce came for like 15 minutes and left. You could tell she knew her daddy was up to no good.
I will never forget Rev Run, Jesse Jackson, George Clinton and Kid Capri was there. It was when Houston had the Super Bowl in 04.
New post- It might get ugly in that post.
What makes her husband better?
It just blows my mind though. Like the name is good. No one is complaining and it encompasses everyone.
I’m waiting on the Bowling Green Massacre post though .. lol
No it’s not!! Tee Hee!! Promise!
LMAOOO…Like, Dad I gotta go fix me some ice water, I’ll call you next week.
Nah…Make that Father’s Day. kay bye
Mass Communications is so broad. I would stick to majoring in Journalism and focus in on broadcasting. I took a few broadcasting courses. Its not as easy as it looks. You have to be able to speak very well. You also have to have that “look”
Good luck to her.
I said apparently….have we heard any cheating, doing people dirty in deals stories about Russ? I haven’t…..so APPARENTLY he is better.
The Autopsy of Jane Doe was pretty good…I saw that one
YESSSSSS. They have a freaking train now. WTF? The last time I was in Houston was Nov 2015. So many changes.
And you know I had to have my Frnechy’s. We went to Dago’s too. I got my nose pierced. Like I was in college all over again.
Kelly was definitely ok, had it not been, tina would’ve shunned her and she would’ve NEVER been apart of the group, seeing as to how they’re treating him and the new kids..i always wondered Y it was ok tho when it came to Kelly.. fast forward, I think the fact that he was too damn old to still be doing that shit was what broke the back lol enough was enough with the embarrassment. .
Soooo…lil mo got fired from dc radio?
I don’t either but that is clearly what she wants to be. She wants to make sex tapes and host parties. I’m pretty sure she’s a prostitute too…according to the comments on her FB page.
Looked in the mirror and decided that had nothing else to lose and nothing better to offer than the world seeing their azzes!! It is sad…..plus Kim K. (and a few others) got folks thinking they can really make a come up. Gonna be right on those free porn sites right along with the other folks…might luck up and get their movie on Brazzers (They charge for membership) CTHU
CHIIIIIIILE!!! LMAO!!!!!! That was a GOOD ONE!!!
she didn’t tell you because here you are talking to insider about her business. you don’t know how to sthu, sir!
girl….I hear you sucking teeth after saying “so” lmfao
Him being too old…could also be a reason….but it was the mommas not being like Kelly momma and running their mouths. Didn’t think Bey would cut the purse strings aka they cash!
kellyanne Conway out here telling the alternative facts they wanna hear. that’s not news lol
Them Paper People get mad over you getting a bigger splinter than them…..even if your splinter hurts more. “Why she experiencing more pain than me?”
At some point you have to move on. They shouldn’t exclude him so much anymore. Of all these people complaining about not having fathers in their lives, or not even knowing WHO their fathers are, they should be more appreciative. Her mother has moved on so all should be well.
Right. I saw those tracks by UH and I asked my sister did they put the metro train over there. She was like girrrrlll yes!!! Lol. I was like damn I haven’t been on this side in a long as time and I live here and from here. Wow. Dagos still around. Omg
I can see that.
Same thing I said…..shyt they got past Kelly!! CTHU
and aint hesitate either.. lol!
Jay told her NOT to tell you, Matt.
THE END–going to new post, Pretty Girl Blue up there!!
She has retarded people fingers especially where the ball joints are
stop it, her mom knew–she said she was tired of keeping the secret….
I don’t feel sorry for him. He has a big *ss mouth. Memba when he was talking about her on the radio?
Like he REALLY has a number that will go directly to her…
Like she’ll really pick up the phone, especially if she’s tired.
LOL…ok Matty..you just had to grab some of this publicity huh?
Hmm? Maybe. Haven’t given it much thought before now?
Now you messing with retarded people (disabled or mentally ill)… This is NOT an alternative fact

Some can’t hold stuff and she wanted to do it her way.
The public doesn’t know what goes on behind closed doors. One daughter may have different feelings and that’s their business. Yes, we all know what went down but the fact that Tina was on social media immediately and this guy’s saying he was in the dark isn’t a good look.
And this is why he didn’t get a phone call to begin with, nothing is private. Did he get paid for his little interview?
He should be embarrassed that his daughter told the rest of the world before telling her own dad. Clearly she doesn’t feel that close to him any more.
Personally if It was me I’d be embarrassed. I wouldn’t be telling the media about it. He could have just kept that to himself.
He know she can’t have kids that why he wasn’t informed he was trying to get beyonce and Jay-Z to raise his son he had outside his marriage years ago
Ya’ll crazy. lol
I don’t completely get her issues with him. There has to be more to this family beef than the out-of-wedlock baby. I mean, I wouldn’t be happy if my dad cheated on my mom and had children, but I also wouldn’t get mixed up in my parents’ issues. I know this from experience. I love both of my parents no matter what. I hate their relationship didn’t work, but that was THEIR relationship. As the child, how do you turn on a parent unless it’s some REAL ish going down?
He talk to much that’s why she didn’t tell him…
Maybe she’s mad at him because she feels like he hurt her mom pretty bad. Seeing the pain of one parent sometimes causes a person to get mad at the other parent.
You mean babies. I agree with you. Children should not pick sides. But I think if they are adults when divorce happens they tend to do so.
Exactly. Eveyrone does not need to know this. #talktoomuch
Exactly
I really don’t hope he think that it was a mistake that Beyonce, Solange and Ms. Tina just forgot to tell him but he would be delusional. They didn’t tell him for a reason b/c if your daughter has put you in the category with everyone else it means you are dead to her Mr. Knowles.
Exactly!
For the people who tried to curse menout when I said she is the Queen of the Clapback, even her daddy knows she made a “smart move” like Jay said back then in a song “She loves to work more than she loves me” (maybe not litterally .. What was the song again?)
Again congrats Bey. I haven’t heard the Lemonade full album but I can guess she will sing that song where she forgave him). No dancing, just pure ballad.
He did give her real age in a interview…. Welp
There is no beef. He has the baby daddy issues so he can’t be too much in her business anymore. People forget he has another child about same age as Blu Ivy
People that have real relationships with people, don’t have to explain to the public their conversation. It’s like he’s telling people for proof. If she gave a damn about you, you wouldn’t have found out with the “rest of us.” And personally, I could’ve gone without knowing at all.
Wait–she’s not 35?lol
She about 4 months preggers so obviously u didn’t know making it even more apparent that u guys don’t talk. Save that extra talk for something else mr knowles
And you don’t just wake up one day or year for that matter and all is forgiven.
LOL I had a feeling she didn’t pick up either, my thoughts were he has the burner phone number!
What’d he say?
It’s time for you to log off and go home LOLOL
They do seem like the black version of the “American Dream” a sweet young loving couple with no controversy.
They don’t have a normal relationship its personal and business. She had a song dedicated to her father about how she wanted her future husband to be just like him. But at the same time she seen her mother crying almost every day for a very long time over what her dad was doing. Even screwing one of their back up dancers. Come on now. Nobody can replace mom. And after the whole world knows how bad you embarrassed her .mother do you think the relationship stayed the same? She said after she fired her father, they thought they could repair their relationship but it never recovered.
Clearly there is no relationship there. I bet her mama knew.
It’s a shame that their relationship has become estranged. Mathew did all the dirty work to get Beyoncé to the top and Beyoncé and Ms. Tina didn’t mind at the time.
There were rumors that Tina and Mathew relationship was already on the outs but they stayed together to help propel Destiny Child. In addition, I think Mathew had those outside kids after he and Tina was divorced/separated.
There are two mistresses that had babies by Matthew. One was Solange’s friend. His actions really hurt Beyonce’s mother bad, so yes I understand why her relationship with him is now strained.
Why wouldn’t she tell him – sad.
The shade b real
She knows Matthew know the truth she can’t have any kids
I really don’t like how she treats her father. Yes, he was a dirty dog to her mother but that’s their relationship and Miss Tina knows she accepted his behavior long ago. Bottom line…Beyoncé would not be what she is if it wasn’t her father. She would have been an Ashanti at best. She will never be happy until she forgives her father. He should never ever struggle for money. If she is indeed faking yet another pregnancy which I suspect she is…maybe the reason why she can’t get knocked is linked to the way she treats her father. Honor they mother and father.
I don’t forget. She cut HIM off, not the other way around. Who her father sleeps with shouldn’t really be that much of her business. She don’t have to like it, but…that’s her dad.
I mean, i sorta get that, but I don’t. You get one Mama and one Daddy (if you lucky you might get a cool step), but generally, we get one…her dad went to the WALL for her career. Yeah, he did her Mama wrong, but children should not come between their parents’ marriage. Let the parents work it out. He wasn’t cheating on HER! You ain’t never too grown to stay in your place when it comes to your parents.
Did he tell her when he had his other kids. Or did she find out the way the rest of did?
You really do have an unhealthy obsession with all things Beyoncé. Seek help.
THAT belly is beyond 4 months honey.
Folks always speaking on situations they have the least bit of information on..
The mom was cool.with with it so i think. She should let them be
U are on point
U are on point
Helloooooo!
Tina is married and Beyonce grown with her own piece of shit husband that she needs to focus on. Matthew didn’t cheat on her and her mom and dad have both moved on. Worry about your Camel and act like a daughter.
Exactly!
Was just making a point, don’t really care the months, sorry not sorry
Go ahead. I wanna see.
Matthew 23:9 Call no man upon the earth your father:For one is your father,which is in heaven.
It befuddles me why he so freely talks with the media pretaining to beyonce when he knows thats not how she rolls.Does he think this helps?!His response here speaks volumes of their current relationship whether he realizes it or not.
This is why he wasn’t told. He would’ve leaked it for cash.
Am I the only one who think Beyonce doesn’t look like Matthew? Solange looks more like Matthew than Beyonce. Mama Tina, do you got something you wanna tell us? Mama’s baby, daddy’s maybe perhaps?
How do we know that is really her father? Beyonce looks nothing like Matthew.
I am curious, how do you know she treat her dad bad. I never heard her bad mouth him or treat him funny?
Knowing Beyonce she didn’t tell anyone and saved all the pictures until the days after she already had her babies. She’ll never let you see her vulnerable and she didn’t want anyone to spill the beans.
The only issues I have with all this is:
1. Beyonce’s lips are so full.
2. When she visited MC they weren’t this full.
3. Was she pregnant when she visited MC?
Um, he stole money from her. Their issues are way deeper than how he treated her mother. It’s personal.
He is slimy. He is shrewd enough to know what this implies or reveals. He also spilled Grammy tea. Everyone else were still playing the is she/isn’t she performing at the Grammy’s. Sir, you stole money and created not one, but two outside kids. One of them, allegedly, with a “friend” of Solange’s. You’re still talking?
LMAO!
It was all of it. The coke, booze, wh0res, 0rgies and more. He lived the rock star lifestyle and socialized with rappers and celebrities. MK became the very thing he always cautioned about. I think she keeps him at bay because he knows too much.
I thought that I was the only one that felt this way. I don’t “f” with Bey…or people like her. Her father is who made her the star that she is today. She turned her back on her dad…smh. Nevertheless, any women who will tell a lie about something simple as giving birth can’t be believed or trusted in ANY type of fashion.
Stole her money? What sources are you reading? She got mad because he fathered another child that wasnt with her mother. Beyonce is ALL about the PERFECT image. The end
I agree.
Beyonce grew up to really dislike her father even in this picture you can see the hatred. All those songs was about him cheating on her mother. She has no respect for him. The entire lemonade album was about him she’s heavily scarred from her dads antics. Thats why B is in this dark place all this “new orleans” inspired crap when she was born in houston. .. Thats what she should be repping houston not new Orleans smh!
Solange and kelly looks like Matthew. Beyonce looks like her mom
B and solange look just alike. Let b take off the make up and blonde hair weave TWINS
Amen…i said the same thing. B is in a very dark place and she seems miserable and satanic. These pictures of late are very demonic
She can fool her stepfather and stepsister but matthew knows the truth
Exactly. One minute B wants to be private the next shes rubbing her belly at an awards ceremony to tell the world she is preggers. Now all this over saturation of belly pictures in her second trimester is only to prove a point but the only point shes proving is that she DOES read the blogs and other peoples opinions about her DOES affect her…smdh
LMAO LOL LOL LOL without in vitro she wouldn’t be having twins LOL LOL remember she miscarried before little blu
Exactly. B was brutal like her father when the original members werw kicked out for wanting new management but fast forward after she got her first album she kicked her dad to the curb…so that shows you Latavia & Latoya was right. But since it was family B rode with family instead of her group members and that wasnt right at all. They badically kicked them out the group for having a voice
Oh yea thats her bestie
Clearly, you just became a Bey fan yesterday lol She LOVED Mathew, even dedicated a song to him in her first solo album. She might not be too tight with him now but she definitely grew up adoring her father and having his support. Mathew’s infidelity and outside babies happened when Bey was in her LATE 20’s. Beyonce is too old to be carrying this kind of hurt and hate towards her father. I can see if they divorced when she was 10 or something lol. Adult children need to learn not to take on their mothers’ anger over bad husbands. Mathew was a great dad but terrible husband.
I don’t understand her hurt either lol Particularly since a lot of the infidelity occurred when Bey was in her late 20’s. Like damn. He was a great dad but bad husband. That mess with her mom shouldn’t have affected her this badly. Beyonce is too old to be carrying this kind of hurt and hate towards her father especially since everything happened well into her adulthood. I can see if they divorced when she was 10 or something lol.
I don’t understand because all of this happened when Bey was good and grown. She act like she grew up in a broken home or something lol
Adult kids need not act like they grew up in broken homes when their parents’ marriage ends well into their adulthood lol
Right. I am still waiting to see the “NATURAL” pregnancy line that develops when a woman is REALLY pregnant. I have yet to see it. So why didn’t she take pictures like this with the first child? She wasn’t pregnant.
Sandra you know that lady and her dad cant stand each other … ?
Who are you to say how an adult should be feeling, in regards to thier parents bad behavior? Hurt and truma doesn’t have an age limit.. poeple can carry hurt and anger for a lifetime. Not that it is healthy but its possible.
I know she loves her father but he’s trash rumor is he stole from her now he’s trying to sell any and everything he can with her image on it from awards to childhood videos to make a buck because he has 2 younger children he doesn’t acknowledge because their names aren’t Beyoncé or Solange.
And who are you to tell me that I am wrong? People need to learn to cope better. Therapy helps.
wait…. my family is creole, from nola and houston… what does that have to do with it? it is her heritage… do your research.
kelly is not his kid…..
she is 35. she did go to school in houston. we all know she is 35.
I think he”s looking for attention…Hes not loyal…SMH!!!
They look alike because of their mother
