Beyoncé’s father Mathew Knowles seems to be running into a lot of legal suits since the superstar cut professional ties with him in 2011.
Last month, he was forced to deny allegations after reports surfaced that he owed $24,000 in child support to the mother of his three-year-old son Nixon, who he reportedly has never met.
Now, a new claim alleges that he owes an accounting firm, who he hired to manage his finances, over 64K in back payments.
According to court documents secured by TMZ, The credit bureau is suing Knowles for $64,587.14.
Hopefully his earnings from Destiny's Child can help him with these debts.
Are you familiar with the legal troubles of Mathew Knowles, father of music superstar Beyonce? Well, it seems like he’s facing another lawsuit from an unsatisfied customer.
This time, the allegations include broken promises and financial harm. According to reports, a woman named TaQoya Branscomb is suing Knowles for breach of contract after investing in his company Music World Entertainment.
Branscomb claims that she was promised a return on her investment within five years but has yet to receive any payouts. She also alleges that Knowles used her investment for personal expenses instead of business purposes.
With this latest lawsuit adding to his troubled legal history, it raises questions about the ethics and practices within Knowles’ entertainment empire.
Allegations of Broken Promises and Financial Harm
If you thought Mathew Knowles’ legal troubles were over, think again – another unsatisfied customer is suing him for broken promises and financial harm.
According to court documents, Samantha Selolwane claims that she invested $50,000 in Music World Entertainment after being promised a return on her investment and a role in the company’s operations. However, she alleges that she never received any returns and was not given the promised role.
Selolwane also claims that Knowles made false representations about the company’s finances to induce her to invest. She says he told her that Music World Entertainment had signed several lucrative deals with major companies such as Coca-Cola and Walmart when in fact those deals did not exist. Furthermore, Selolwane alleges that Knowles used some of her investment funds for personal expenses instead of investing them in the company.
This is not the first time Mathew Knowles has faced allegations of financial impropriety. In 2016, he settled a lawsuit with former Destiny’s Child member Farrah Franklin who claimed she was owed money for her work with the group.
It remains to be seen how this latest lawsuit will play out in court.
Mathew Knowles’ Troubled Legal History
Mathew Knowles has a troubled legal history with multiple cases filed against him.
In 2013, he was sued by former Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland for breach of contract and fraudulent accounting practices. Rowland claimed that Knowles had mishandled her earnings and failed to pay her what she was owed. The case was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.
Knowles has also faced legal trouble in his personal life. He was accused of fathering a child outside of his marriage in 2009 and subsequently divorced his wife, Tina Knowles. In 2014, he was hit with another paternity suit from a woman claiming he fathered her child while still married to Tina. DNA testing confirmed the child was his and he was ordered to pay child support.
With this track record, it’s not surprising that another unsatisfied customer is suing Mathew Knowles over allegations of broken promises and financial harm. It remains to be seen how this latest case will play out, but it’s clear that Knowles’ legal troubles are far from over.
Conclusion
So, it seems that Mathew Knowles is once again in hot water with an unsatisfied customer. The latest lawsuit filed against him alleges broken promises and financial harm, adding to a long list of legal troubles for Beyonce’s father.
Despite his successes as a music executive and manager, Knowles’ reputation has taken a hit due to these ongoing legal issues.
It remains to be seen how this latest lawsuit will play out, but one thing’s clear: Knowles needs to start delivering on his promises if he wants to avoid further legal trouble.
