Referring to your grandson as "that lil nikka" is wild tho, lol. Have a bit more class, man. He already has a successful career and comes from a very rich family, he ain't gonna starve.
Older black folks use that word as a pejorative so when they use it they are letting you know that they are are wits end with you

One of the first projects under the agreement, The Mathew Knowles Story, will tell the story of how Knowles guided Destiny's Child to success, while also giving a behind-the-scenes look at the solo careers of his daughters Beyoncé and Solange, as well as Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland :mjlol:

1. Why is Jay mentioned. He’s talking about Solanges kid. And if he’s a traditional Christian that he likes to act like, except when he’s fukking other women, then her kid should carry the name of his father. Industry connections are still industry connections, it’s not like people just say “wow Knowles, so you must be solanges kid”, they already know when he enters the room. Just like everyone in Hollywood knows that Nicolas Cage is a Coppola and he got started by having those contacts.


2. He has a b*stard son too, take care of him and let him spread your legacy.

Matthew probably never respected the father. And as far as general public recognition, using the Knowles last name would definitely help. Beyonce goes by Knowles-Carter.

Probably not. Solange seems like a pure headache, got married to dude when she was 17 :snoop:

But perhaps he’s like many of the rich kids tryna act like he isn’t related to them, like he’s doing it himself. When this isn’t the case. But still didn’t wanna be “ah that’s beyonces nephew” “the Beyoncé nephew model”. Specially adding it just for that fact.

As for Matthew not getting the recognition, I guess it’s cause

1. he’s not all in the videos like say Dame, until recently and that’s not in a good way. And that’s 15 years after working with Beyonce.

2. Manager is a behind the scenes job unless you work hard to promote yourself. Like Tina promotes herself and she was not even a manager, so she’s a celebrity.


Like who is Madonna’s manager? Bruce Springsteen? Metallica? Of course they are probably known in the industry, but not like the average person knows them.


Also i guess that it’s also a lot of recency bias. As of today Beyonce has managed herself longer than he managed her. So people unfairly tend to focus on recent shyt. Specially when you like mentioned didn’t promote yourself and be all in the videos

Well, let’s keep it a buck only in a matriarchal society would this even be a conversation. People act like the dad doesn’t even exist

Name me ONE mega successful man who isn’t.

Exactly. Narcissist behavior is a damn prerequisite.

You can see who the low achievers are because if you are brilliant, winning and staying ahead of the pack as a result then you owe it to yourself to take your victory laps.

No one said to act like someone like Dame who is successful by associate but Matthew literally built his daughter into what she is

Nicolas Cage works directly in the field Coppola was known in. House of Dereon jeans is not opening the door for Julez Smith.
