Beyonce Talks Smack About The Jacksons
Beyonce grew up rich and better than you!
The Single Ladies singer has raised some eyebrows and angered many with a rather, uhm, interesting new interview in the December issue of Elle magazine.
She says:
“I grew up upper-class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar. We’re African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like the Jacksons. But I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.”
Ouch. Burn!
We thought musicians weren't supposed to talk smack about other musicians???? Especially about their parents.
Looks like Beyowulf doesn't only have a big ass, she's got a big head too!!!!
During the interview, even Momma Tina Knowles speaks out about their family. She says that one day dadager Mathew Knowles took Beyonce, her sis Solange, and some friends to the Bottoms, "a rough section of Houston."
Tina reveals, “He had my kids talking to the homeless people there. I told him, ‘Mathew, that could have been dangerous.’ He said, ‘I want them to feel their songs, not just sing them.’ ”
What kind of shit talk is this?????
They must have all been smoking some crazy shit that day!

Re: perezisnotfunny –
Right! In Europe you cannot "identify" the really rich established(!) upper-class by what cars they drive (most of the ones I ve known due to my job drove really SMALL Japanese or German cars so as not to be "targeted" by criminals!) or by what they "buy" and "consume" or what the "size" of their appartments is!
MODESTY doesn t seem to be a characteristic of her….
And as someone already said: Real class upper-class people would NEVER (NEVER!) ever speak or let other people take NOTICE of their belongings, wealth or to what social "class" they belong!
She s ghetto to my European taste…*G*….
When is this, Diana Ross imitating, beef curtain wearing, lace front having, international swagger jacker gonna go away! Someone just needs to pull a Buffy and turn her into dust.
what's wrong with telling it like it is, and since when is being rich & sucessfull a bad thing, so what are u saying ALL black people need to be piss poor or somehow they are "uppity" that is so stupid, so she came from a well off family big f-ing deal!
i know for a fact they didnt grow up in high society!
they grew up in 3rd ward in houston then they moved out.
I have friends that knew her family beause I'm from Houston.
umm…who ever compared them to the jacksons?
ugly, overrated whore.
Re: WHORE1 –
Dude I know! Beyonce is such a stuck lil whore, who the fuck does she think she is? Her dad is the epitome of a stage dad, shes been told her entire life what to do and what to say. Bitch is crazy if she thinks shes better than Janet Jackson. BTW, Ur new album sucks balls, Single Ladies is the WORST SONG I have ever heard in my life. go fuck urself Sasha Farts
Dumb, dumber, DONKEY
OooH cuz she went to the ghetto. what the fuck is wrong with her. How can Jay-z Love her??? He grew up in the projects and went from rags to riches. She just seemed always cocky. I just wanna slap her weave off.
I really cannot stand this bitch! And ya she did grow up like the Jacksons. Both her and Jackson's daddy pushed and pimped their kids to prove that they could have finer things in life for themselves and their kids! I wish she'd go broke but her daddy probably had Jay-Z's ring on her finger before she said 'Yes', so we know that's not gonna happen! She needs to come down to earth a little.
Re: Suzysu – I agree. I remember her telling more places and people other than just Oprah that story. She said her family couldn't afford to buy costumes made so her mom had to make their costumes. And I remember watching her biography where it said they had to strive to make ends meet and at times it was hard-especially when the rest of Destiny's child and the other girls lived with them. What a lying bitch.
Just another Madonna!!
at least she is being honest.
ARE YOU KDDING ME? SHE WENT TO ALIEF HIGH SCHOOL. I LIVE IN HOUSTON. I AM NOT GOING TO SOUND LIKE A HATER AND HER LIFE AND LIES IS HER BUSINESS, BUT I AM NOT GOING TO BE BRAIN WASHED. WHAT A HYPOPCRIT!!
BOTTOMS? WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
Anyone who defines his or her "class" by the make of a car is by definition LOW CLASS.
God Beyonce drives me CRAZY!!!!
FUck this uppity bitch.
HAHAHA WHERE TO BEGIN ON THIS!
OK FIRST OF ALL I AM HOUSTON NATIVE THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "THE BOTTOMS". SURE H-TOWN HAS ITS BAD PARTS OF TOWN LIKE EVERYOTHER CITY BUT IF THEY WENT TO A BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THEIR BLACK DADDY THEN IT'LL BE OK. ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS. AS FOR THE JACKSON COMMENT HAHAHA YEAH THEY'RE NOTHING LIKE THEM BECAUSE THE JACKSONS HAD LIKE 7 TALENTED KIDS AND THE KNOWLES ONLY HAVE ONE BECAUSE SOLANGE SUCKS ASS AND RIDES THE COAT TAILS OF HER SISTER AND TINA MAKES FUGLY CLOTHES. IM SO GLAD BEYONCE FINALLY ADMITTED TO BEING "UPPER CLASS". MAYBE NOW YA'LL WON'T BUY THAT GHETTO ACT SHE TRIES TO PULL OFF. THE ONLY THING GHETTO ABOUT HER IS HER HUSBAND.
Re: bango skanks –
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
what big headed bitch.
beyonce is so overrated and such a bitch. Why is this stuck up bitch still relevant?
she should be euthanized!!!
she smells like geri curl and b.o.
oh yuck…there are millions of African Americans who 'grew up with more' and yet from the look of Dereon's designs…you'd think they won the lottery in like 1997 & ran into a record prodicer the next week…lo rent!!!! Real class does not mention such minor details! WANNABE
I've always thought beyonce was a you know what. she's just another Tyra Banks
That was rude!
Um, wasn't this quote part of a larger piece. I realize this is a gossip site but the whole truth is important. I believe she's saying that comparing the two families is ridiculous. She sounds like she saying, "Please stop trying to put us all in one box", maybe?
Also, this site is getting a little one sided. Just report what the celebs are doing. Leave the analysis for professionals.
Shear stupidity!
Thats why Ciara showed her out on her own song. DIVA!
Showing Bey how to freestlye and sing at same time. Go Ci and Rhi! Knock this tranny off her high horse!
Re: JustSayin –
I'm "JustSayin" your comments are extremely racist. One, her accent isn't "ghetto" it's southern. Two, there are plenty of people from other races (namely white) with "stereotypical ghetto names". Get real. Three, I can agree with the clothing, not a fan, but I wouldn't categorize it as ghetto trash. Some of the worst 80's clothing (and hair, for that matter) were worn by white people, get it right. FOUR, her husband has overcome extreme adversity to make a name for himself. He is a lyrical genius and extremely intelligent person. Furthermore, that "project thug" makes more money than Beyonce, "white" entertainers, doctors, lawyers, politicians, athletes, etc. combined. He has trancended being a rapper and has several lucrative business ventures. Look it up, sweetheart.
I'd also like to add that although I don't agree with her comment (the classification of upper class), I do believe that Perez has taken this out of context. Perhaps the entire interview should be posted before everyone attacks.
Re: WHORE1 –
Yep, her husband is from the projects in the South Bronx. Ha! That is as "bottom" as it gets.
Come on! Beyonce upper class? Girl! Come on! Hahaha weren't you a few years back talkin' about how poor you were and all that stuff? Awwww please! MAKE UP YOUR MIND! Get your story straight! Hahahaha come on! You're really showin' your roots, a selfobsessed bitch, come on!! The Jacksons? I'm not a big fan but they're icons!! They are WHAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WILL NEVER BE! And how dare you to talk about the parents!!!! YOURS USED YOU AND YOUR FUGLY SIS!! You became their ATM awww poor girl!! Get in touch with reality please…you sound stupid!
Re: Pattinson – At least Tyra isn't talkin' shit and isn't caliming she's "upper-class" hahahaha and yes! Beyonce is a WE ALL KNOW WHAT! Haha
Beyonce is a some kind of white trash hahaha
Los Knowles tienen boca de zoologico…dicen puras anmialadas jajajaja
she's really talented BUT that doesnt gives her the right to talk shit bout anybody..thats just sad…
if beyoncee's a shiit talker.. thaan whaat does thaat makee you perezz lol
what a piece of ass!!!! the bitch probably WISHES she was a Jackson!!!!
Re: Nikki_G –
Beyonce never went to high school.
Re: WHORE1 –
Agreed!
•
it's quite typical for shit-stained garbage like beyonce (such a STUPID name)
to feel compelled to mention her "social standing" while attempting
to put down another
•
i'm so glad this ugly brown shit colored whore keeps
putting her smelly ashy foot in her ugly mouth
•
i will be so glad to see the day when we no longer
see her shallow cellulite ridden asshole in the media
•
the sooner she and her shit stained
ilk all cease to exist in the meida
•
the better
•
the Jacksons are insane, everyone knows that, it's not an opinion it's just a fact and Beyonce's family is alot more normal then Michael's… who's isn't ?
Shes Not lying, shes not talking SHIT ABOUT ANYONE SHES JUST SAYING THAT THEIR PARENTS USED THEM…which is TRUE! so stop hating on Beyonce, she's a classy lady, and the jacksons are crazy..they are all fucked up she was actually being nice so just stop it. And, WTF you want your kids to go to a rough section of Houston? No seriously do you? NO so STFU thats just dumb.
I HATE OUR LOVE AND HATE RELATIONSHIP.
This is the one and only time I will defend Bey because it’s apparent that some people lack of reading comprehension skills.
Beyonce was not talking smack about Janet Jackson when she told ELLE magazine:
“I grew up upper class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar. We’re African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like The Jacksons. But I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.”
Clearly she’s talking about Joe Jackson using The Jackson 5 to get out of Gary, Indiana when times were hard and jobs were scarce…..from sandrarose.com
Re: jdiddy0505 – you are dumb
No Beyonce your parent didn't use you
BUT….
Your Dad ran your shit and your life way beyond the normal 18 years taking his cut of the pie I'm sure
~
Your Dad didn't crap on you but he did Fuck over your Girls from DC so shut up!
~
Oh ya your direct TV ad is fucken so budget it's not even funny. All the money you have and your Whore'en for fucken direct tv.
I distinctly remember one of her songs saying, "People thought we'd never make it out the hood." So that was a lie to sell albums?
Re: kennedycampbell220 –
Word
Re: JustSayin – That is SO true. If she were raised upper class in a private school she would NOT have such a ghetto accent. And its not even specifically the accent - she doesn't use proper grammar!! She does not speak proper English!!
And her fashion line is pure tasteless trash!!
Beyonce is only good for dancing and singing a little. I don't think she can act at all and we all know she was jealous, when Jennifer Hudson won that award. I think Beyonce is very stuck on herself and she's phony! How can she talk about the Jackson's when they sold more albums then her. She needs to tell her mom to stop making them ugly dresses for her and worry about her husband cheating with the help!
TOO BAD SHE DIDNT GROW UP WITH THAT WHITE NOSE SHE PAID FOR.
Re: WHORE1 –
You are right. And Barack better not have that tramp perform. Did you hear she said she would perfom if sh ewas needed. Chelsea Handler sia dit best. "Nobody needs you Beyonce. Nobody needs Bootylicious on inauguration day"
Upper class my ass!!
If any of you have read those American Express commercials where celebrities fill out stuff about them, the Beyonce one says that she has been a memeber since like 2 or 3 years ago.
Upper class???? If she were truly upper class she would have been a member since much longer than that.
New rich, that I would believe. Money does not bring class, honey.
Re: yovovi –
WTF?
Is she on crack? Didn't she used to go around saying she was poor? How delusional is she? Her mother and father are obviously using her! If they weren't they'd have real jobs and be independent, but they both "work" for Beyonce! Her sister is a stupid bitch who got knocked up at like 17 and had a rish marriage and then got divorced! Then Beyonce went and married that hideous beast Jay-Z who used to do drugs and shoot people and lord knows what else. And did she even go to school!? She was in Destiny's Child at like 14 when did she have time to go to private school?
THIS BROAD IS STUPID! SHE SWEARS THAT SHE'S SO GREAT…. PLEASE!!! SHE NEEDS 2 GIVE IT UP AND QUICK!!!!
Wow, that bitch has some nerve, and her parents are delusional. Her sister is a nice fuck-up too.
People keep talking about there not being a "bottoms" in Houston. I don't think she knows this herself- I think calling the poorer areas "the bottoms" of their way of saying projects or something, which just goes to show how FAR out of touch with reality this family actually is.
They ARE just like the Jackson's, only without the skills and talent. In fact, I think the Knowels are even more f*cked in the head then the Jackson's ever were/are. EVERY family has it's flaws, the Knowels just attempt to hide their's better by putting themselves up and everyone else down. To even call Beyonce an artist is a jab at true artists who create their own ideas on their own. This fake b*tch is nothing more than a robot. She's got the employees as Britney to put her image together for her, but with no personality to support it. A voice can only take you so far— just look at Christina Aguilera!
AND BTW— I happen to know of 3 girls who are taking their clothes off in strip clubs RIGHT NOW to pay for their kids private schooling. Maybe that's where Mama Knowels got her "fashion sense"??!
perez you are such a hater! anything slightly negative from beyonce you always blow out of proportion.
This woman is making it hard for me. I think she is physically beautiful and a great performer… the best of her generation. However, I DON'T like her material (too ghetto IMO). I've been waiting on the sidelines for her to mature and do something great, but then she goes and makes a statement about my beloved Jacksons.
First of all, the life that she describes is MIDDLE CLASS not UPPER. Secondly, even if she was upper class (which she clearly wasn't), why does she seem to be so focused on financial status? Thirdly, it was so VERY tacky for her to make the comments that she did. Hopefully, she'll still do something great, but at this point I'm not sure that I will care enough to pay attention.
perez and all u fuckin haterz…yall kno she wasnt bein ignorant so jus leave the gurl alone!! yall hate so much its jus unbelievable rite now!!
BEYONCE IS CHANGEING INTO A BITCH WHERES THE NICE SWEET HUMBLE BEYONCE WE LOVE?
Whatever i can relate to what she's saying and Bitches B talk like that cause she can back it up love ya B
She might be being egocentric, but she's not putting down the Jacksons, only Joseph (who, in all honesty, WAS using his sons to get out of a bad situation).
I met Beyonce…shes a bit out there…but she makes my cousin happy so
its all good..
So upper class that she missed school to pursue music which is why her public speaking skills are less than on point. . If I recall her dad quit his job to use her to make more money. Loss the house, Tina and the kids had to move into an apartment as they could not afford a new home. All this while Matthew lived across town with his mistress while Tina worked in the hair salon. And now he is a reportedly a drug addict who possibly buys his drugs from the same people that his son in-law JAY-Z taught how to sell the stuff. After all he is a past drug dealer. Hmmm, all this surely does sound like the upbringing of a “privileged child”. And the Jaguar thing, ah you can get one from Jimmy’s car lot for cheap so that’s really no big deal. Beyonce Beyonce back to earth please your dream is now over… WAKE UP!
Oh and one more thing Beyonce; Growing up “privileged” must have also kept you away from the dentist because word on the street is you have major Halitosis…I’ve not heard that about those poor Jacksons.
all of you people who sit and talk poorly about beyonce are basically two faced and hypocrits. You talk about how bad Beyonce is for talking about someone else and because she feels she was "upper class" this and that yet you are talking about how she's not like you know her. You are pathedic.
Stop hating, bitches!
waah waah quit crying, cunts.
Bey might not be high class, but she is still telling the truth. Joesph used and abused his kids to get where he wanted. Denial must suck, huh?
Who cares…Joe Jackson(along with his offspring) deserve to be talked about! Beyonce did nothing wrong!
IF YOU WERE SO UPPER CLASS YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO TELL THE WORLD YOUR DAD HAD A JAGUAR YOU STUPID GHETTO BITCH!!! I SAW YOU AT WALGREENS THE OTHER NIGHT BUYING GERRI CURL!!!
Fine, she is who she is. The hairdo looks like it landed on her head and she can't get it off!
She sounds like a spoiled brat! Obviously she has never had a hard life…Or had a real reality check. Spoiled ass!
wow everyone on this site has major anger management issues. none of u hav ever met beyonce, you don't know anything about her. and this blog bit is based on an article in a magazine, you don't know the rest of the quote unless you've read the magazine and you weren't there when she was being interviewed. what she said could have been meant completely differently than what you all think it means, or it could mean exactly what you think it means. you don't know. so don't be so quick to judge.
WTF BEYONCE IS NO SHIT TALKER SHE WAS JUST SPEAKIN THE TRUTH
THE JACKSON 5 BLODDY FATHER BEAT THEM TO ROBOTS SO THAT THEY WOULD GET THEM OUT OF BEING BROKE ASS BITCHES ! AND THEY WERE SUCCESFUL FOR IT AT A COST ! THE ONLY SHIT TA
She lived in a huge house, her dad had a decent job, Kelly Rowland lived with them for a while…upper class is defined at making over a million a year…she was upper-middle (250,000 and higher). She's just stating that her family didn't want for anything…anyway, this is bullshit. Move on.
That's quite a condescending and presumptuous thing to say.
Kudos to the Jacksons for coming up the hard way. Their mum and dad saw they had talent, and did what they could within their meagre means to help their kids have legendary careers. Oh, and Beyonce is no Michael Jackson, ability wise.
Marketing and profit does not denote musical talent. Look at Madonna.
why the fuck would you have an account if your just going to shit talk the person who owns it. get a fucking job! >:[ your an ignorant little bitch.
anyways, that was cocky of her. weren't they like bankrupt anyways?
Re: LettyB WISHES YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR! – shut up. even if you hated perez hilton it's pretty gay that you'd take time out of your day to say so.
I'm sorry but what's WRONG with what she said???????????
And I totally understand her dad's point of view… The more experiences yu have the more yu can put it into music and actually feel what ur singing!!!
Re: CriticXtreme – have yu heard beyonce sing??? anyone who thinks she can't must be deaf…!
Re: ashweesix –
Shut up Hoe!
one thing i know is that "upper class" people do not go around saying they are upper class. Having a Jag and going to private school does not make you upperclass!!! There are tons of celebs that were truly upper class before gaining fame and you NEVER hear them say this. I hope you learned something from this one.
oh and talking about peoples parents especially when yours appear to be following in thier footsteps….pretty low.
You should know better by now Mrs Upper class turned to fame
Re: stars101 – C O R R E C T I O N. Partially true! Man-face doesn't really have a career. Perhaps if she'd use a bag to cover her face, people would get rid of the constant impression of her having a moustache……………….. But seriously, Beyonce is enough. Solange should stick to what she does best - making babies. Yeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaa
What a load…. Beyonce is really getting on my nerves… We all know who had the real talent in Destiny's Child - KELLY ROWLAND. Without Kelly Beyonce's voice sounds tinny, whiney and annoying. Kelly is a far better talent than you. Get over yourself Beyonce! Your Dad pushed you to be a star too, just like the Jacksons- and used the other girls in the back just to make you look better - being the lighter 'prettier' one. Whatever!
