I stumbled on these on DHSK. From the comments section. Sip with caution, no verification of any kind, just straight random tea:

Get into it below and discuss among yourselves..
" The main thing people have an issue with in regards to Beyonce is the amount of publishing she takes for records. Other than that she’s doesn’t do a lot of shady business.
Now Matthew….SMH. There are many producers who I’ve worked with directly who were signed to Matthew as producers and they were ROBBED off their publishing. There’s one producer who produced a huge record on the BDAY album (i won’t name the record because it would be a dead give away on my identity) but he was signed to Matthew and only got $25,000 for the track…period. Now that may seem like a lot of money but keep in mind the song went on to make way more than $25,000. Matthew took all of his publishing…dude doesn’t get royalties or nothing because he signed them away to Matthew in a shady deal. Now here’s a dude that’s produced a hugh record for Beyonce barely gets credited for it as a ghost writer…I don’t even know if his name shows up in the credits but they replaced his name with the name of a major producer and I think they either credited him as a co-producer if I’m not mistaken but dude was the one who actually created the beat from scratch.
Another instance of Matthew’s griminess is the way he treated the girl group that was signed to his label. Barely gave them any money…had them locked in their contract for years (even had one of the girls miss her graduation by threatening to kick her out the group if she didn’t show up to the performance). When their contract was finally up he retained the rights to ALL their songs so they basically ended up in like a 7 year deal shelved at Music World and then all the work they did with him they basically have nothing to show for it because dude kept all their music.
Why do you all think Matthew aggressively pursued signing Jennifer Hudson during the Dreamgirls era when she overshadowed his daughter?
Jennifer and her people saw the writing on the wall when Music World, Matthew’s company which distributed the Dreamgirls soundtrack, failed to submit her showstopping rendition of And I Am Telling…to the Grammys. It would have been an easy win for her and this was when he had considerable clout on the board, having a major hand in many of his daughter’s wins. You do the math…
One of the hidden secrets of how these executives do business is this…
have you ever wondered how in the last 10-15 years there’s only a few artists to reign on top? Well, I learned working at the labels (and Matthew, Diddy & LA Reid have been notorious for this) is that labels will sign acts who have talented, and they feel may be a direct competition for their main act on the label, lock them in a contract and shelve them for years so that they don’t sign to another label and compete with their breadwinner. That’s why someone like a Beyonce or Rihanna can have years to reign in the industry because their labels make sure they keep the competition at bay. They’ll sign acts who they have no intention of ever investing in, give them false hope and completely ignore them. This has happened not only to artists but to producers as well. There are a lot of talented acts signed to labels who don’t have the “machine” behind them so they end up stuck and by the time they are let out their contract their too old or too jaded by the industry to want to even do this music thing anymore.
That’s why the music industry has been dying a slow death. It’s not just illegal downloads but it’s that artists are waking up and seeing how these labels really operate. L.A. Reid is about to take a serious fall…karma is def starting to come for him. He wasn’t forced out of Def Jam for nothing.
The bottom line is that if you choose to be a star in hollywood and you are uneducated about the business, YOU WILL BE SCREWED! Guys like Puff Daddy, Mathew Knowles, L.A. Reid, Jay-Z and Tommy Mottola are very well educated about the industry. Hollywood is not a 9 to 5 job. You must be well educated and have eyes in the back of your head. In hollywood, EVERYBODY IS A THIEF!"

^^^^^^^^^^ This is why I ignore anyone who's screaming at the top of their lungs about the stats on these celebrities. Mainly, Beyonce's fake stats and the many purchased awards she's received. No matter how much I would ask people to please use their brains, they'd rather put aside common sense than to apply logic. I've asked people to be honest and ask themselves did they really think Beyonce was the only person on Earth that's more talented than the rest of the world? Everybody knows there's always someone greater and lesser than yourself, yet, at that time people were acting like this didn't apply to their "queen". They were always talking about how many people she's slayed with her career, when the fact is her people sabotaged others career to keep Beyonce void of any competition. And if that wasn't bad enough, she and her team turned to the internet to troll and trash talk other artist trying to get others to put down others, praise Beyonce and put her on a pedestal, too. These days they aren't able to troll like they used to because of the increase of people who have finally awaken to the truth. It used to be more of them than us. Now it's the opposite. No matter what blog I visit...white, black, others, etc,... She's being exposed.

Because that dude resigned in disgrace amid allegations of sexual harassment. Very shady considering the situation with Dr Luke and kesha and how he didn't resign or get fired. And his allegations were much worse!!

The Knowles run for fame and money (at the expense of others) was very bold, calculated and ingenious, however their Brand is too problematic to be allowed to reamin in our community. It was a good run but they gotta go, it's all too much ...the overhyping, overblowing, over it! It feels like an assault, her presence has not brought good vibes at all.
