Tina Knowles’ brother Larry Beyince gave a candid interview with Celebuzz that about his niece Beyoncé that is sure to ruffle her feathers. He talks quite openly about her courtship and marriage to Jay-Z as well as the working relationship with her father Mathew Knowles.
“He was after her and she wasn’t. She told me she wasn’t too particularly fond of him,” Beyince told the celebrity and entertainment news site about her early days of dating Jay-Z. “I would see him with her and pictures of them, I heard rumors they were together and she told me ‘no.’ You know how women get that look like ‘eww.’ I guess she wasn’t attracted to him. He’s okay with me. I was surprised she married him. I think she got tired of being alone. When you have as much money as she does she has to be careful about people wanting her for her money. And apparently he had as much as she had.”
“I wasn’t surprised she fired him [as her manager]. I’m glad, actually,” Beyince told Celebuzz about Mathew Knowles. “I know he was getting 20 percent of whatever she made, and from what I know he wasn’t doing much for her. All I knew is that he wanted her to be famous and rich so he could be rich. She didn’t want to be famous. She just wanted to be a normal child. She used to get angry at [her father] a lot for taking away her childhood. That affected her. I would prefer she was just my little niece, but she’s a lot better off than most women.”
