Beyonce’s father Mathew Knowles is launching a line of hip-hop inspired toys for tots called Baby Jamz.
The venture offers a chance for children to combine their love of music with the ability to learn while reciting popular nursery rhymes, according to the Music World president and CEO, who revealed that Baby Jamz was inspired by his [Matthew Knowles’] grandson Juelz.
“Baby Jamz allows children to have toys that they can identify with and enjoy,” Knowles said in a statement. “Many children love music and dancing to Hip-Hop, so we have creatively combined great toys with the Hip-Hop versions of popular nursery rhymes.””
All of the songs will be sung by Beyonce’s younger sister Solange, who’s son Juelz inspired the project. Juelz will also be the spokesbaby/model for the line of toys, appearing in the ads, packaging, and website for Baby Jamz. Matthew Knowles is also the creator of Kids Rap Radio. Apparently he’s a pioneer in creating child-friendly music. Who knew?
Do you think this guy should have anything to do with shaping young minds?
Here’s an old story about Beyonce’s dad just in case you forgot:
POP sensation Beyonce Knowles and the rest of Destiny’s Child are reeling from a lawsuit charging that their manager, Beyonce’s dad Mathew, squandered $32 million on cocaine and sex parties with prostitutes.
And while Mathew Knowles denies misappropriating millions, the married man admits to Star in a startling exclusive interview that he was a sex and drug addict who has cheated on his wife repeatedly!
Maybe this all was exaggerated a bit….32 million does seem like a lot of money, but after doing some research I found out that there’s alleged partial truth to the accusations. Either way, for Beyonce to fire her own dad, there’s a story that’s not fully told.
