Beyoncé’s dad opens up about theft allegations

Beyoncé’s dad, Matthew Knowles, filed papers this week alleging that members of his daughter's group, Columbia Records, Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, and Live Nation made “negative comments about me.”

"We absolutely have not taken any money from Beyoncé, and all dollars will be accounted for," he told The Associated Press in an interview Thursday afternoon. "In no way have we stole money. Again, this is about the people who have made these claims — they have to come into the light."

When Beyoncé fired her father in May, she created a brand new team to help her steer her career. The team included executives from Roc Nation and Live Nation.

“She changed almost every aspect of her business,” he said. “The team ironically appeared to be a cross-pollination of Beyoncé’s team, Roc Nation’s team, and Live Nation’s team, who ironically have the most to gain.”

On Thursday, Matthew said that he and Beyoncé have no problem with each other.

"The relationship with Beyoncé is extremely amicable. I want to make that clear. Where there's concern is the people that she's doing business with," he said. "I'm challenging all of these folks on integrity, professional integrity."
