In a recent radio interview, Beyonce's dad and ex-manager Mathew
Knowles claims the popular elevator brawl between his daughter,
Solange Knowles, and his son-in-law, Jay Z, was staged.
Knowles told The Roula and Ryan Show on 104.1 KRBE in Houston that the
brawl was a "Jedi mind trick" to boost ticket sales for Beyonce's
tour.
"I know, because we've done this. From experience, there's a tour
going on. So you sometimes have to ignite that tour," he said. "It's
called a Jedi mind trick. The Jedi mind trick fools you a lot."
Knowles added: "All I know is the Jedi mind trick. Everyone's talking
about it. Ticket sales went up. Solange's album sales went up 200%!"
We believe you. It's all part of "show business".
