Beyonce’s father, Matthew Knowles, heard Lemonade just like the rest of us. Matthew is referenced on Lemonade a few times, so what was his reaction?
“Well, at first, I was, the first ten minutes, I was a little…confused. I didn’t know quite where she was coming from. Was she talking literally or was she leaving it up to the viewer to use their own interpretation of what she was saying? And then it hit me that she had cleverly made this body of work to make one think and make one think a lot.”
Matthew also addressed the relationship that he has with Beyonce, which has been reported as rocky.
“I think if one would look at the HBO special then you’d see what everybody else saw. They saw me talking to Beyoncé when she was a young child and challenging her, even then, to understand where she was coming from and critical thinking, but you also seen me diving on the bed and playing with Blue Ivy so that kinda answers your question right there. I choose to let the press say whatever they want and let people say whatever they want. It’s nobody’s business how much I see my daughter or my grandkids, that’s something personal that I care not to share.”
this is silly ... his and Tina's personal drama and turmoil should not interfere with Beyonce and Solange's love the man gave to them throughout his life.
