Beyonce’s half-brother reportedly headed to homeless shelter

Baby mama drama: Daddy Knowles and the mother of his son Nixon (Image: Financial Juneteenth)

Mathew Knowles, the father of the singer Beyonce, is really having baby mama drama. Alexsandra Wright has been relentless when it comes to fighting for child support for her son, Nixon.

A few months ago, she said that she and her son were on food stamps because Mathew was $32,000 behind in child support. This was only the beginning of her chase to get more money for herself and her son, which some are finding to be a bit of overkill.

Despite her claims that she needs more money and not less, a judge still approved a cut in Mathew’s monthly child support obligation from $12,000 to $2,500, which was a huge drop in her personal income. With that drop in income has come a rapid decline in her lifestyle apparently, with Ms. Wright now claiming that she is taking Beyonce’s half-brother to a homeless shelter so that the two of them can survive.

I don’t see Beyonce or Jay Z going for that — they have been noticeably quiet. Then again she might also be staying out of it as allegiance to her mom.
