Beyonce's father Mathew Knowles has
fuelled conspiracy theories surrounding his daughter's age after he
declared she was the 'exact same age' as someone two years older.
Mathew,
who used to manage Beyonce and her former band Destiny's Child,
described his daughter - whose birth date is listed as September 1981 -
as being the same age as fellow pop star Pink, who was born in September
1979.
The
63-year-old also referred to his 34-year-old daughter as being the same
age as R&B singer Usher, who was born in October 1978
In an interview with The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1
in New York, Mathew said: '(Destiny’s Child) had a competitiveness, L.A
Reid had a rival girl group at the time, and I’ll bet you don’t know
who the lead singer was... It was Pink! And she was the exact same age
as Beyonce.
'Then you had Usher, who was the same age, they were all 14 or 15 years old, living in Atlanta.'
Mathew's comments will no doubt fuel an old conspiracy on internet message boards that Beyonce is older than she says she is.
