The Club Owner Was Scamming

Mathew Knowles released a statement about Beyonce canceling on that NY club date saying, "The cancellation of the launch party for Beyonce’s “I AM…” tour, first scheduled for this Saturday at M2, was a result of a breach of contract by the promoter. Beyonce never had a contract with the club itself and no one in her camp dealt directly with the venue. The superstar was never scheduled to perform but was to serve as a co-host and introduce singer/songwriter Solange’s performance. Patrons were falsely promised a performance by Beyonce."

Well, Club Owner Dude, who had absolutley been advertising a Beyonce show at his club, is going around saying the real problem is Promoter Guy didn't cough up the $200,000 on time so Matt stopped answering their emails, even after Club Owner Dude offered to put up the 200 Gs himself because he'd already invested money and put his club's rep on the line by promoting the event.

Yeah well, E Online got a copy of the agreement and it says expressly says that "the artist" would not give a performance of any kind. Click here and read it for yourself. It's item 1. under the terms of the agreement. So Promoter Guy and Club Owner Dude WERE falsely advertising a Beyonce concert.

Usher

If You Have $200,000

you can hire Beyonce to perform at your venue, but she might not show up. That's the deal with M2 club in NY so they're threatening to sue her ass. M2 contracted Beyonce to perform at their club tommrow night to kick off her North American tour, but Sasha cancelled on them at the last minute saying she didn't have time for a show, but that she would come hang out for an hour instead. M2 was not having it. They say they've already sold tables for thousands of dollars, plus kicked out over 100 grand to rent soundboards, wind machines and lighting and stuff. The club is claiming a “loss of reputation” in addition to the cash spent. The owner was all like, “We had an overwhelming response from our clubgoers, who were lining up to buy tickets and tables. This will come as a great disappointment to all of them. If Beyonce cancels and doesn’t give us a new date, this hurts our credibility in nightlife.”

More of Kelis' Business

Yeah so, more of Kelis' financials have been made public from her petition for divorce from Nas and now we know the reason why she needs $80,000 a month from her estranged husband. It's because she only made $21,616.00 a month between November of '08 and April '09 and hasn't toured in over a year, which is how she earns her income. That's nothing compared to what she spends. Kelis says she needs the cash because spends more than $15,000 a month on entertainment, gifts and travel alone, plus $14,861.00 a month on mortgage, and she needs a nanny and money to store stem cells from the baby's umbilical cord to treat any unforeseen illnesses. Add to that, insurance, utility bills, landscaping, dry cleaning and all that other regular stuff and before you know it, you've spent 80 Gs. So the question is, should Kelis' lifestyle have to change because she no longer wants to be married to the person who afforded her that quality of life?
