We all know Mathew Knowles is sneaky, but now a source tells Bossip that Mathew is even dirtier than we thought when it comes to making sure Beyonce stays on top of the charts.
A source in the Knowles camp tells us that Mathew truly despises Letoya Luckett and has been using payola to pay off DJ’s at radio stations not to play Letoya’s music. Letoya’s new single “Regret” doesn’t get any bigger than it already is. Our source says that Mathew thinks Letoya’s success will overshadow Beyonce’s if Letoya’s music gets as much airplay exposure as Beyonce’s.
We also learned that Beyonce is aware of what’s going on but won’t say anything to stop her dad. Apparently, she trusts Matthew and what he’s doing. Bossip researched and found out that Letoya’s single is in the top 5 spot on Urban radio charts, showing that the song has the potential to be played at the top urban radio stations in heavy rotation, yet it’s not.
Hmmm… we wonder why. We hear that Matthew is covering up the payola expense to pay off radio stations by saying the money is being used to go and review Beyonce’s tour shows at various venues. We hear he hasn’t had trouble with east coast stations because of their affiliations with Jay-Z, but the west coast stations haven’t been as easy.
As if this wasn’t enough, our source tells us this is only the tip of the iceberg and Matthew has more up his sleeves. [Source]
Now I can believe this story, I mean everytime Letoya comes out, Beyonce comes out of nowhere and takes over. Letoya has a great album yet it gets minor play on radio stations and it lacked in album sales. Why can't they just let this girl get her shine on? I don't believe that the Knowles are just doing this to Letoya but other artists as well. What do you think? Also pics from Letoya's video "Regret" ft. Ludacris below!
