A rep for R&B superstar Beyonce Knowles has slammed reports that her client was banished from Egyptian pyramids.
Rumors began swirling earlier this week of the alleged booting after archaeologist Zahi Hawass stated in an interview that he banished Beyonce from the historical site because of her rude behavior.
“She said she would come at 3pm but she came late. I said 'You have to say I'm sorry I'm late'. But she didn't open her mouth,” Hawass, Egypt's former head of antiquities and gatekeeper of the Pyramids, insist on why he is upset with the music star in an interview.
Hawass also continued to ramble on before concluding, “I am not giving you the privilege of having you on my tour. I said Beyonce was stupid and I left.”
Contrary to Hawass’ statement, a rep for Beyonce said the incident was false.
“This never happened. The last time she was in Egypt was on tour in 2009. Nothing like this happened. Lies and more lies," the representative tells E! News.
Hawass seems to be looking for some attention here!
