Kelly Rowland Mad at Mathew Knowles and Beyonce For Lawsuit

Kelly Rowland is furious that she, Beyoncé and Michelle Williams have to head to Chicago on Tuesday for a lawsuit regarding copyright infringement. Flip the top back for more details.

The group will be facing a copyright infringement lawsuit for their song “Cater 2 U.” According to a source, Rowland blames the legal mess on Beyoncé’s father Mathew and his sneaky tactics for lining his daughter’s pockets with cash. Apparently, Mathew has a long history of trying to get songwriters to add Beyoncé’s name to songs she didn’t compose, just so she gets publishing royalties, and now it’s coming back to haunt him.

Kelly who at one point was cordial with Beyonce has since distanced herself from the Knowles family making things very tense. We have a feeling this could get real ugly.

    Hey Kelly birds of a feather flock together, now how are you going to be mad a Beyonce when they have always had way more control over you then you did… I am sure by now you have come to the understanding that you never had any real representation with the Knowles you were more like a prop then a person to them… So again why are you mad I am sure that you have seen far more shady things going on in the background with the Knowles then this… This is why you pick her friends wisely because when they go down you go down…

  • pynk

    Smh. Everyone knows that Bey is Matthew’s “cash cow.” It’s sad when a parent will work their child to the bone to make a buck. Sad.

  • Phuck It

    Well Kelly DON’T act like you weren’t in on it too!

  • Bey-nonsense

    That’s a shame. Bey-nonsense’s antics have to involve other people.

  • Tracey

    Kelly should have known what songs Bey wrote and didnt. So she would have been clued up too.

    Why do people taint their careers like this, such a shame. You wrote a song, you dint write a song, b honest about it and pay up, end of story!

    Soo over their sneaky bidness ways she steals peoples songs before they can put them out (Jasmine Sullivan) and him payn radio stations to not play Letoya’s songs…
    Thats why I just bootleg all of her Cd’s and pay full price for Letoya’s CD which by the way is off the chain!!!

  • Kierah

    Clearly Kelly knows that there is something unkosher about the way Mathew does business.

  • Jamelsgirl

    I bet Michelle don’t talk to them either. Good and Evil don’t work well together

  • tg

    I don’t blame her. The Knowles are money hungry fools. Why should she have to suffer for the things he did for HIS DAUGHTER to prosper? I bet Kelly didn’t benefit from the BS.

  • aleximaq

    This new layout is crazy…

  • Cindy

    I keep telling you all. Beyonce isn’t as talented as she claims to be. She tries so hard to throw herself out there and convince people that she is as good asi MJ and Janet Jackson. NOPE. This girl is constantly stealing ppl’s stuff and copying off multiple artists. She has no style of her owns and she can’t even write songs…have you ever heard her talk? Yeah..okay..my point exactly.

    Beyonce tries to convince people she is the whole package…because she wants to be up there with MJ Janet Jackson, Aretha , Tina Turner, Diana Ross and many more. But you know what? These people were GREAT…and with greatness comes money, fame, grammys, Oscars. They didn’t have to pay their way through in a sneaky way they didn’t have to steal other’s ppl songs and deal with lawsuite after lawsuite because of song infrigments. They wrote their own songs and if they didn’t they told ppl straight up they didn’t write it.

    Beyonce n her dad are always up to something….these two are making sure she becomes a legend….instead of just letting things come to her….she gotta push and shove and take adavantage of ppl and write checks after checks to get what she wants. Those 10 grammys she is nominated for….that only HAPPEN BECAUSE HER DAD IS PART OF THE GRAMMY VOTING BOARD.

    Get what I’m saying?

  • 1606Dom

    Lies….Lies…Lies
    Kelly is not going to court on no damn Tuesday. You should be uplifting her….she has 3 Grammy nominations this year…without a label*cough* EMI or album out

  • Kelly

  • Brittney

    I know exactly what this is about, my mother’s co worker is the one who actually wrote the song cater to u and he is the one doing the suing because they literally stole the song as their own……..such a shame cuz that song was a hit!

    It takes a daddy like Matthew Knowels to get his daughter on top. You have to be ruthless in the music industry to make it, nice guys get ran over and finish last. That’s just the way it is. I don’t agree with how the business is ran, but believe you me in Beyonce’s daddy was not the way he was, there would be no Beyonce on the scene. Beyonce would be Kelly Rowland, get the drift.

  • $$$= GOD IN USA

    KNOWLES FAMILY= SING FOR THE DEVIL

  • http:chokolatemilk.blogspot.com Choco

    I think Beyonce and her father should be concerned about what Kelly has to say and I don’t think Kelly is in a place in her life where she will perjor herself for her father and her half sister….payback is a B_TCH!

  • jessica

  • Jay32

    Matthew Knowles only cares and cared about one person’s career and thats his daughters.People kept saying that beyonce is so much more talented the the other girls,well I bet it does look that way when the manager is the lead singer’s father and he does eveything in his power to make sure his daughter stands out.Beyonce is a very talented singer and dancer but Kelly is also.You can tell he focused more on promoting Beyonce then any of his other artist,thats why they all left him.I like Beyonce but she comes off extra phony to me

  • Unimaginative_Trolls_get_your_own_screen_name

    How many people do YOU KNOW who are DELIGHTED to be the defendants in ANY kind of legal action?

  • http://bossip MoniSings

    If they have been unjustifiably taking money from people who have put their blood, sweat and tears into composing the music, then I hope it does go down. I can’t stand shadyness! Beyonce needs to wrangle away from her father quick, fast and in a hurry. But she’s just as much to blame if she knowingly allowed her name to be added to something and took credit for what didn’t belong to her. The old “that’s the way it’s always been done” argument doesn’t sit well with me. Right is right and wrong is wrong.

  • ThinkAboutIt

    Matthew Knowles only cares about one career I agree, but its not his daughters but rather his own. He’s always been out for his self… that’s been clear. And if anyone knows anything about song writing and the evolution of a song, it is rarely a one man show. With that being said Bey may have contributed, she could have very well wrote it herself, and then got in the studio and a team member changed it all around, it all depends, the Ms. Knowles is an easy target, who’d rather settle then spend time fighting over it in court…so why not go after her.

    By the looks of half of these comments, common sense just ain’t common any more! …smh

  • Caramel Goddess

    LOL @ Beyonce’s lazy eye.

    Ugh, Beyonce. I mean they’ll be paying in hell one day. All that money! Burning like the fat cows they is.

  • rere

    I dont no why everybody is feeling sorry for Kelly she knew what was going on she lived in that house all her life so if she tell all she be putting herself out there as well. She knew that Beyonce was not writting all those songs she wasn’t crying when she was cashing those big checks. All the negative comments from people, are so sick if you guys had children with talent like they had you guys would be doing the same thing Kelly is a great singer as well as Michelle they both have new mangers move on it seems like her new mangers cant produce any hits for her either,this is not the first group to be sued over copyrighting someone elses songs. Grow up Kelly poor baby for 15yrs she made millions from the group do something with it.
