Mathew Knowles admits that hearing about R Kelly?s reputation ?certainly? played a part in stopping Destiny?s Child from collaborating with him.
Fresh investigations into R Kelly, 52, have been launched in Chicago and Atlanta into allegations of sexual and physical abuse, which were put forward in the Lifetime documentary Surviving R Kelly.
The Ignition singer is accused of holding five women in a ?sex cult?, as well as having sexual contact with girls as young as 14. R Kelly has strongly denied these allegations.
While the attention on the allegations has ramped up since the airing of Surviving R Kelly, rumours have been rampant since the 90s, when the singer allegedly married Aaliyah when she was 15 and he was 27.
And speaking to Metro.co.uk, Mathew said that while rumours about R Kelly came into play in his decision making, he first turned down a song from the R&B star for the band?s first album because it wasn?t good enough.
The 67-year-old, the father of Beyonce and Solange, told us: ?I was there, and my former wife Tina was there. The thing with R Kelly was, he liked to record late at night, around midnight. And what was different with his studio was that one room had a recording suite, and next door was a club, with 40 or 50 people dancing.
?R Kelly was managed by Sony, by someone I won?t name, and at that time, they would almost force you to record with [their] artists.
?And R Kelly wasn?t cheap ? it was $75,000, plus travel costs, so we?re talking $100,000 for a song.
?I personally rejected the song, because I didn?t think it was a good song. Not just because of [his] reputation ? this was around 1998, we had just begun to hear some of those things.?
However, when we asked Mathew if the rumours surrounding R Kelly played a role in his decisions from then on, he said ?certainly, it was both of those things?.
The music manager said: ?The girls were 15, 16. When they went to the bathroom, Tina would go with them. They did not leave our eyes.?
A source told Metro.co.uk: ?Record labels would ask R Kelly to write songs for emerging artists as a way to help them break into the industry and he made several requests for Destiny?s Child. Mathew and Tina rejected all of them because they didn?t want him anywhere near the band which is why they are one of the few acts to debut in the 90s without an R Kelly song in its official discography.?
R Kelly worked with Aaliyah on multiple songs including Age Ain?t Nothing But A Number, Back & Forth, and At Your Best, while he also featured on songs with Kelly Price, Sparkle, Nivea and Ciara.
The singer, real name Robert S Kelly, did write one song in Destiny?s Child?s back catalogue ? Stimulate Me, which was on the soundtrack for the 1999 Eddie Murphy film Life. However, a source informed us that Kelly was not in the studio when Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson were recording with producer Jermaine Dupri, adding: ?Mathew didn?t want it on any official Destiny?s Child?s albums so it didn?t appear.?
Beyonce has never worked with R Kelly in her solo career either, with a source telling us she has ?always turned him down?.
?Back in 2008 he released a remix of her single ?If I Were a Boy?. The plan was to have it become an official remix as they are both signed to the label but Beyonce didn?t give it the all clear so it never happened.?
Mathew told us that he would elaborate further on his experience with R Kelly in his book Destiny?s Child: The Untold Story, which is due out this summer.
So he was good for something.
Good job matt. R. Kelly is legit done
fffffff
I could actually see Tina getting up every time the girls needed to use the bathroom.

That whole soundtrack was recorded at his studio. Artists always fly out to his studio. Even MJ had to and DC was no different.
I'm sorry but I don't believe a word Mathew says.

He mentioned that they wanted too much money for the travel cost to fly to his studio and stay there :dead:

He was referring to a song for their first album, not ?Stimulate Me?. Ironically. They didn?t ask him about that song and had to get info from a ?source? ;fff
