Beyonce has been LYING about her age for years says her… own DAD!

It might seem odd that for someone as famous as Beyoncé, when you attempt to inquire about her age, the answer is pretty hard to find.

The correct answer that is.

Despite being one of the biggest stars on the planet, she still faces serious criticism about her age. Rumours have been swirling about for years, and when you take that whole Solange aspect into account then it just becomes a bizarre conversation. 

Her father, Matthew Knowles is the last person we expected to add even more fuel to that fire – but he did.

In an interview with The Breakfast Club, Matthew said:

"P!nk, she’s the exact same age as Beyoncé. There used to be this battle, which group was better. Usher, he was the same age. They were all 14- or 15-years-old." 

P!nk was born on September 8, 1979 and Usher was born on October 14, 1978 – two and three years before Queen Bey respectively. Knowles' statements, then, implies that Beyoncé might be 36, rather than 34. 

OK, to be fair, sometimes our own parents get mixed up. However, this is not the first time people have been left confused about Bey’s age.

In 2008, Gabrielle Union, of Bring It On fame, said she and Bey have been friends since they were teenagers. However, Gabrielle is nine years older. 

Conspiracy theorists maintain that Bey is actually older, but by a few more years than Matthew believes. In 2013 it emerged that people thought Solange was Bey’s daughter.

Someone who claims to work for the Department of Health in Texas supposedly unearthed her birth certificate and claims it has her birth date as 1974. Which would mean she’s actually closer to 40 than 30. 

There are websites that maintain that Beyoncé got pregnant as a 12 or 13-year old but the family covered it up and said she was Bey’s sister.

Apparently, since Matthew’s interview the Huffington Post requested a comment on the matter from Beyoncé’s publicist. The request was not returned.
