(New York Daily News) – Mathew Knowles is claiming Beyoncé and Jay Z’s divorce rumors are all a bid at getting more bills, bills, bills.
The superstar singer’s dad and former manager opened up about his daughter and son-in-law’s supposed marital woes on the “Roula and Ryan” Houston radio show on 104.1 KRBE earlier this week.
“It’s called a Jedi mind trick,” he said. “The Jedi mind trick fools you a lot of times.”
The 63-year-old mastermind behind successful girl group Destiny’s Child, for which Beyoncé was lead singer, hinted that controversies like the couple’s rumors of divorce help “to ignite that tour.”
