Beyonce's half-brother 'asks why singer doesn't love him'

Beyonce’s half-brother Nixon – who was fathered by Mathew Knowles – has asked why the singer ‘doesn’t love him’, claims his mother Alexsandra Wright in an emotional new interview.

Nixon, now 13, is the product of an affair between Knowles, now, 71, and Canadian-born actress Wright, 52 – but the teenager has never met his famous sister or father following a protracted child support battle.

Wright told the US Sun: ‘[He asks], ‘Why doesn’t that person love me?’ about Beyonce and added: ‘Nixon has never had the luxury of being a normal child. Being related to someone famous smothers kids like him, and they lose their identity.’

She claims there has not been any contact from the singer towards her half-sibling despite the fact she lives 10 miles from the pair in California’s most expensive home, a $200m Malibu mansion.

Wright, a  Global Collective CEO and Nixon live in a five bedroom LA home.

She said: ‘I think Beyoncé is a lovely person and she has never done anything to harm me. I don’t want anything from them. I just want my son to be free and to have a happy life.’

Wright says it’s hard for her ‘quiet and reserved’ son to see ‘people living as billionaires’ but that she does believe he and Beyonce will connect via social media at some point.

She said: ‘I tell him, “fame does not equal happiness” so never covet what someone else has’. 

She said Nixon is constantly asked at school if he is Beyonce’s brother and that grown-ups will even take pictures of him. 

DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Beyonce and Matthew Knowles for comment. 

In 2009, Beyonce’s mother Tina filed for divorce from Mathew after he had an affair with Alexsandra, who fell pregnant and requested a paternity test. In 2010 a paternity test confirmed he was the father of Nixon.

In 2014 Knowles got his child support payments slashed due to his dwindling income.

Wright was bankrupted by the court battle and sought assistance from a homeless charity. The women’s support group arranged for the pair to move into a trailer after Wright was forced to go on public assistance – before the pair were taken in by her friend Shar Jackson.

Mathew is a record executive and talent manager who oversaw Destiny’s Child’s stratospheric rise.

He quit his day job in 1995 as a medical equipment salesman to actively pursue his daughter’s career in the spotlight.

LaTavia and bandmate LeToya Luckett ended up suing Knowles after he replaced them with Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin in the Say My Name video released in 2000.

Nearly 11 years later, Beyonce and Mathew ended their business relationship when she founded her own management company called Parkwood Entertainment.

Mathew later went on to marry former model Gena Charmaine Avery just two years after his divorce was finalized; Beyonce and Solange reportedly did not attend the wedding.

Tina began dating actor Richard Lawson in 2013 and the couple were married on April 12, 2015.

Swanking about: Beyoncé oozed high-octane glamour Saturday night as she kicked off the North American leg of her Renaissance Tour

Beyoncé has just returned to work after a brief week-and-a-half holiday following the end of the European leg of her tour.

After wrapping up an engagement at the National Stadium in Warsaw, she indulged in a bit of time off – though not out of the public eye.

Earlier this week she and her husband Jay-Z were among the star-studded guest list at billionaire Michael Rubin’s Fourth Of July party in the Hamptons.

Kim Kardashian could also be glimpsed swanning around the fete, where Tom Brady was locked in conversation with Emily Ratajkowski, as confirmed by DailyMail.com.

The Renaissance World Tour began in May to promote an album of the same name that Beyoncé released last summer. 

Renaissance, the beginning of a planned trilogy, is the first album she has dropped since the debut of her seminal Lemonade in 2016.

After rehearsing at the Paris La Défense Arena, Europe’s biggest stadium, she inaugurated her latest tour in Stockholm in mid-May.

From there she thundered through a glittering array of European cities including London, Barcelona, Marseille, Amsterdam and finally Warsaw.

After her brace of concerts in Toronto this weekend, she will return to the United States and take the show on the road through her native country.

Her schedule will whisk her through wide variety of American cities ranging from Philadelphia to Kansas City to Nashville to Las Vegas to Los Angeles. 

Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour will come to a close on September 27 with a one-show engagement at the iconic Superdome in New Orleans.
