Mathew & Beyonce Knowles
"During Happier Times"
Not only is Mathew Knowles having an illegitimate baby outside of his marriage and the fiasco that ensued distracting enough for him from focusing on managing her career, I believe that since the court will order him to pay child support which is a percentage of his earnings that is derived mostly from Beyonce and the now defunct Destiny’s Child’s earnings, Beyonce has every right to nip that equation in the bud by terminating the professional relationship with her father at least on paper, so that she isn’t working hard and breaking a sweat only to have Ms. Wright living large of child support checks without lifting a finger. On second thought, she might be lifting a finger opening her mail box to get the child support check.
How a smart man who came from a professional background and conquered the shady music industry fell into this very obvious trap of getting someone pregnant is beyond me. Terminating her professional relationship with her dad may also be Beyonce’s way of showing allegiance to her mother, Ms. Tina Knowles, who must have definitely been hurt and embarrassed by the situation. The poor woman even filed for divorce, but didn't go through with it. It’s really a messy mess considering that Solange’s son Daniel Julez Smith, Jr who was born in 2004 is older than Mathew’s new love child.
As serious as Mathew is, comes across as being and must be to have made Destiny’s Child and Beyonce superstars, this is surprising, but men will definitely be men. So, I’m not surprised by his actions. Heck, my dad did the same thing, so this isn’t a situation I am not familiar with.
My advice to Beyonce is this, I’m sure you are upset with your dad for getting someone pregnant. He more than anybody should know that he is a target for a court ordered 18 year child support payment that would be based on your hard work if he knocks anybody up.
He really should have known better and having met your sweet and kind mother, I can guess how your dad is because opposite attract. So, I know he’s no angel. However, he is your one and only father and he wasn’t thinking when he did what he did, that’s why this situation occurred. If he had been thinking, you and your family would not be in this situation. If most men thought with the head on their necks before acting, this world would be a much better place.
However, like you sang in the song, Daddy, "There is no one else like my daddy. No one else replace my daddy..." So, please find it in your heart to forgive him, repair the relationship and move on. You’ve already done the right thing by ending your professional relationship with him, so you’re not working for Ms. Wright to enjoy her life...
Below are the lyrics to the song, Daddy that was performed by Beyonce during happier times.
Daddy
I remember when you use to take me on a
Bike ride everyday on the bayou (You remember that? We were inseparable)
And I remember when you could do no wrong
You'd come home from work and I jumped in your arms when I saw you
I was so happy to see you (I was so excited, so happy to see you)
Because you loved me I overcome
And I'm so proud of what you've become
You've given me such security
No matter what mistakes I know you're there for me
You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understood my fears and you protected me
Treasure every irreplaceable memory and that's why…
I want my unborn son to be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy
And I thank you for loving me
I still remember the expression on your face
When you found out I'd been on a date and had a boyfriend
(My first boyfriend, you should have seen your face)
I still remember I caught you crying cause of my tattoo
Could have said Beyonce I told you so
Instead you said you'd get one too (Even my mama said y'all get one just like mine)
Words can't express my boundless gratitude for you
I appreciate what you do
You've given me such security
No matter what mistakes I know you're there for me
You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understand my fears and you protected me
Treasure every extraordinary memory and that's why…
I want my unborn son to be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy
And I thank you for loving me
Even if my man broke my heart today
No matter how much pain I'm in I will be okay
Cause I got a man in my life that can't be replaced
For this love is unconditional it won't go away
I know I'm lucky
Know it ain't easy
For men who take care of their responsibilities
Love is overwhelming
Lord why did you pick me
Can't stop my tears from falling
I love you so much daddy
(Thank you, you've done so much for me. I love you daddy.)
I get so emotional daddy, every time I think of you
I get so emotional daddy, every time I think of you
There is no one else like my daddy
No one else replace my daddy...
