Beyonce's father and former manager Mathew Knowles has spoken out to claim that the well publicised fight between her husband Jay Z and sister Solange was a staged stunt to boost ticket sales.
The incident, which took place at the Met Gala Ball earlier this year, came to light after celebrity website TMZ posted CCTV footage from the lift online. The pair later reconciled and issued a public statement to say that it was behind them and they were 'moving on as a family'. Beyonce even mentioned the fight in her remix of 'Flawless' featuring Nicki Minaj.
Now, Queen Bey's father and former manager Matter has appeared on The Roula & Ryan Show on Houston radio station 104.1 KRBE and described the fight as a "Jedi mind trick" - designed to boost ticket sales to Jay Z and Beyonce's joint On The Run tour.
"I know, because we've done this. From experience, there's a tour going on," he said. "So you sometimes have to ignite that tour. It's called a Jedi mind trick. The Jedi mind trick fools you a lot." He added: "Everyone's talking about it. Ticket sales went up. Solange's album sales went up 200 per cent!"
