A couple of days ago I received an e-mail from somebody claiming to be close to the Knowles camp, telling me that Matthew has been making threats to BET, saying that if
Letoya performs at the BET awards then
Beyonce won't. I thought about posting it but because I didn't have any proof I decided not to, and instead I sent it over to the Destiny's Child Rumours blog who post a lot more rumour posts than I do. Well since I did that not one but TWO sources (one that works at BET) have confirmed to me that this is true, and now other websites have started running the story so I thought I'd publish the original e-mail for you all to see. I promised the person I wouldn't reveal certain things so forgive the censoring of the e-mail.
"I work for
XXXXXXXX. I just want to share something with you because maybe you can help by spreading the word. So even though XXXX XXXX XXXXXX... I love LeToya Luckett. Now Matthew made XXXXX threaten BET to remove Beyonce from the BET Awards line-up if LeToya were to perform on that same stage that same night. It is sad to say but I think XXXXX will win over LeToya's management because Beyonce is a guarantee to bring the ratings up for the show. In business we have to deal with shady politics but this is going too far. All I want is both girls to perform. Between me and you the thing is that I'm sure of is that even if BET wouldn't bend over (which I doubt) he would get Beyonce out there at the last minute. He's just trying to intimidate BET. Anyway now you know, deal with this info the best way you can."
SMH. This doesn't surprise me one bit and I'm almost wishing I had run this as soon as I got it, but I only told a few people because I was waiting to get some more reliable sources to confirm it. Obviously we still don't know if this is 100% true, but I think it's for real. Matthew really is the sneakiest snake in the business and I'm so glad that Kelly finally woke up to herself and escaped his clutches. Matthew exploited his own daughter Beyonce at the expense of the other DC girls, and in my opinion he turned Bey into a soulless work-a-holic. This is really bad for Letoya and I hope now that this news is out that BET don't give in to his demands because Letoya is an amazing talent who deserves a chance to shine.
UPDATEThis rumour is 100% true. I just had direct contact with a 100% airtight source that confirmed it and much more. The stans will say I'm making this up but I'm putting my stamp on this, it's completely accurate.
