It seems every few months, Beyonce is accused of lying about the details of her personal life.
Maybe we just have a hard time believing anyone could be as flawless as Queen Bey, or maybe there really is something to the widespread suspicion that she’s misleading her fans.
You probably remember the allegations that Beyonce faked her pregnancy, but you may not have known about the persistent theory that she’s actually several years older than she claimed.
Bey’s dad and former manager Matthew Knowles may have accidentally snitched on his daughter during a recent interview on The Breakfast Club. Check out his comments at the 4:14 mark:
Yes, Papa Knowles claims that Bey is “the exact same age” as Usher (37) and Pink (36). Officially, Bey just turned 34 last month.
So, did Matthew have his facts confused or did he just blow up his famous daughter’s spot in a major way?
It’s not uncommon for celebrities to play fast and loose with their birthdates. Jessica Chastain was caught lying about her age, in 2012 and she eventually came clean with no consequences for her career.
But pretty much every aspect of Beyonce’s life is tabloid fodder (We’re due for another round of headlines about her impending divorce from Jay Z any day now.), so don’t be surprised if this age thing turns into yet another iteration of Beygate.
