Jakoya and Alexandra Wright were pregnant at the same time, which raises questions about whether Matthew Knowles was already divorced from Tina or still in the process. If embarrassment and humiliation were a person, it would probably be Matthew Knowles. This might be why Beyoncé wants nothing to do with her half-siblings. But could it be time for Beyoncé to acknowledge their existence and the fact that they are suffering without her, despite not being at fault for their father’s actions? Allegedly, Beyoncé’s half-brother Nixon has been asking why she doesn’t love him. Or is this just the mother trying to gain attention?
Let’s delve into the story. In 2007, Matthew Knowles and Alexandra Wright first met in Seattle, Washington, while Matthew was managing a business for Beyoncé. Shortly thereafter, they began an affair, despite Matthew still being married to Tina. Alexandra has mentioned that she didn’t feel guilty about the affair because she believed Matthew’s marriage was already troubled.
When Alexandra became pregnant, things took a turn for the worse. As word of the child spread, Alexandra shared that Matthew was refusing to pay child support. This led to a desperate situation where Alexandra and her son, Nixon, were forced to live in a homeless shelter due to a lack of funds.
During this period, Alexandra also faced a lot of criticism, with some accusing her of blaming Beyoncé for her unfortunate circumstances. However, she has consistently maintained that she has never held Beyoncé responsible.
Last week was incredibly tough. I found myself dealing with over a thousand death threats, all because of a misleading article that wrongly attributed blame to Beyoncé. Let me set the record straight: Beyoncé is not at fault, and I’ve never held her responsible. I genuinely want the best for her, and it pains me to see how this situation has spiraled.
On another front, I penned an open letter shedding light on Matthew’s refusal to own up to his responsibilities. It’s with a heavy heart that we’re forced to return to Superior Court to fight for my son Nixon Knowles’ rights, a battle that shouldn’t have been necessary. Despite exhausting every alternative, Matthew continues to shirk his duties as a father, ignoring the judgment we painstakingly reached together and which was ratified by California’s Superior Court.
In the letter, I also confronted my own actions, acknowledging the harm caused to the Knowles family and beyond. My relationship with Matthew began professionally, with mutual respect and admiration. He served as a mentor and trusted advisor, especially as I navigated my successful career. However, as time passed, our connection deepened, blurring lines and leading to unintended consequences. I never set out to hurt anyone, and I deeply regret the pain inflicted on both families.
Directly addressing Beyoncé’s family, I expressed profound remorse for my role in their suffering. Beyoncé and Solange are remarkable women whom I hold in high regard. I also extended my apologies to Tina, Matthew’s ex-wife, hoping for the chance to make amends in person someday.
Despite the public letter, Beyoncé made it clear she wanted nothing to do with Nixon. Rumor has it, she’s wary because of Matthew’s reputation as a serial cheater, possibly fathering kids left and right due to his infidelity. There’s already a laundry list of people he’s been involved with, even some close to Beyoncé’s circle, like Farrah Franklin.
“I lucked out with my manager being Beyoncé’s dad, Matthew Knowles. He’d often call me over to the hotel for meetings,” shared the source.
“Did Matthew ever make a move on you, Farrah?”
“I’ve yet to meet someone who didn’t like me. Let’s just leave it at that,” Franklin responded.
Apart from Nixon, there’s also Koi, Matthew’s child with TaQoya Branscomb. TaQoya, a former dancer, recalled feeling like Matthew’s world during their affair. But when she got pregnant with Koi, everything changed. Matthew bolted, denying he was the father, just like he did with Alexandra.
“He insisted that the child wasn’t his, just like in that famous song, ‘The kid is not my son.’ Catchy, right?”
“When you told Matthew Knowles about your pregnancy, how did he react?”
“He basically said, ‘That’s impossible. There’s no way this child is mine.'”
Similar to Alexandra, TaQoya acknowledged the pain she caused Beyoncé and her family and expressed regret over the affair, admitting to Inside Edition, “Yes, I made a mistake by getting involved with a married man. But I have a wonderful daughter from that situation.” Despite the legal battles with Matthew, TaQoya remained hopeful about her daughter’s potential meeting with Beyoncé, saying, “After all, they’re half-sisters, so maybe someday that could happen.” But let’s be realistic, it’s a long shot. Rumors also circulated about Matthew possibly having another son, which might explain Beyoncé’s reluctance to explore this further. Who knows? There could be more half-siblings out there just waiting for acknowledgment. And once she acknowledges one, it could open the floodgates.
Despite Beyoncé’s apparent lack of acknowledgment, her half-brother Nixon still wonders why she doesn’t show him love. Their mother recently opened up about this in an interview with The Sun. She shared how she’s been moved to tears by one of Beyoncé’s songs, particularly because she believes it reflects the pain caused by Matthew’s departure from Beyoncé’s mom, Tina, and his involvement with her. She mentioned how Beyoncé even bought a house just 10 miles away from their trailer. But what weighs heavily on her mind is Nixon’s persistent question: “Why doesn’t that person love me?” She confessed her struggles in helping Nixon find his own identity, but she remains optimistic that their future generations will handle these emotions better and engage in these important conversations.
Alexandra is troubled by how classmates at Nixon’s school often mistake him for Beyoncé’s brother, and she’s annoyed by the constant attention from adults snapping photos of him. She feels Nixon has been denied a normal childhood, especially since Beyoncé wants nothing to do with him. When Alexandra shared Nixon’s question about Beyoncé’s love, it ignited a storm of reactions online. Some criticized her for exposing her son to public scrutiny, arguing that fame erases one’s individuality. They questioned why Beyoncé was being dragged into the conversation when it was her father’s actions that led to Nixon’s birth. One commenter rightly pointed out, “While Nixon had no choice in how he came into the world, it’s odd to focus on Beyoncé. Does he have a relationship with Matthew? He’s his parent. While we expect siblings to love each other unconditionally, Beyoncé isn’t obligated to feel a certain way.” Others noted the absence of mention about Beyoncé’s sister, Solange, suggesting that Alexandra might be seeking attention rather than addressing Nixon’s family ties sincerely. They argued that if the goal was for Nixon to connect with his siblings, the discussion should include all of them, not just the famous one.
Some folks pointed out that Beyoncé could splurge on an $80,000 doll for her daughter but didn’t seem to step in to help her half-brother when he was homeless, even though she knows about him. They wondered why she’s quick to donate to strangers but seemingly hesitant to support her own family. On the other hand, some fans understand where Beyoncé might be coming from. They figure it could be tough for her to navigate the situation, especially given the complicated family dynamics. They believe that despite how he came into the world, her half-brother is innocent and deserving of her care and consideration.
It seems like Beyoncé won’t be reaching out to her half-siblings anytime soon. We rarely see her with her full sister, Solange, so expecting her to make time for a half-brother seems a bit far-fetched. But that’s just one point of view. What do you think about Beyoncé seemingly avoiding any connection with her half-siblings? Should she finally acknowledge them, considering her wealth? Or is it acceptable for her to keep them at arm’s length publicly? Share your thoughts in the comments below
