Beyonce has caused quite a stir with some of the cryptic lyrics on her new album Lemonade. And
her father and former manager Mathew Knowles has now been forced to
deny fan speculation that he hit her as a child after rumours went into
overdrive thanks to her new track Daddy Lessons.
The song begins with Beyonce reading a few lines from poet Warsan Shire, saying, 'Did he convince you that he was God?
'Are you a slave to the back of his hand? Am I talking about your husband or your father?'
Matthew
- who helped his daughter rise to fame in Destiny's Child and acted as
her manager until 2011 - shut down the allegations once and for all
during an appearance on Sirius XM show, Make It Plain.
The
64-year-old said: 'I can say I have never in my life hit my daughter.
So she has never been a slave to the back of my hand because I didn't
believe in that.'
The
music manager refused to discuss the other hotly-debated lyric on the
album, which suggests that Jay Z had cheated on the singer with 'Becky
with the good hair'.
Mathew said: 'There's no way we can get into the mind of Beyonce. Only Beyonce can answer specifically who she was talking to.
'I would rather not get into speculation. My answer is I don't know.'
