Beyoncé’s dad, Mathew Knowles has addressed reports that Beyoncé and Jay Z are on the verge of divorce. Knowles who hasn’t had a pretty good relationship with Bey since she fired him as her manager in 2011, during a chat with 104.1 KRBE’s Roula & Ryan, said he still speaks with his daughter, and that things are fine between them.
“We still talk every Sunday. She’s still the humble, generous person that she’s always been.” He added that the infamous elevator fight between Solange and Jay, and the divorce rumors were used to promote their On The Run tour.
“I know, because we’ve done this. From experience, there’s a tour going on. So you sometimes have to ignite that tour. It’s called a Jedi mind trick. The Jedi mind trick fools you a lot.”
And when he was asked if they staged and leaked the video of the elevator fight, he said,
“All I know is the Jedi mind trick. Everyone’s talking about it. Ticket sales went up. Solange’s album sales went up 200%!”
