Due to financial troubles, Beyonce's 4-year-old half-brother is heading to a homeless shelter. In Touch has learned that Nixon and his mother, Alexandra Wright, will soon find themselves living in an LA homeless shelter.
In an exclusive interview with In Touch, Wright, the former girlfriend of Beyonce's father Mathew Knowles, says she can no longer afford a home as her ex's child support payments have shrunk from $12,000 to $2,400 a month. A judge ruled on March 3, that 63-year-old Mathew could reduce his child support after losing his job as Beyonce's manager.
"Nixon deserves to know his family, and I hope one day he will meet his sister Beyonce... I can't imagine how Beyonce feels knowing she has a homeless brother. I know if I were in the same position, I would reach out. Maybe she is too busy," says Wright.
Billboard reported back in 2011 that the "Drunk In Love" singer fired her father and long-time manager back in 2011 after details surfaced that Mathew Knowles had stolen from her. Beyonce explained:
"I've only parted ways with my father on a business level. He is my father for life, and I love my dad dearly. I am grateful for everything he has taught me. I grew up watching both he and my mother [Tina Knowles] manage and own their own businesses. They were hard-working entrepreneurs and I will continue to follow in their footsteps."
Legal documents showed that Live Nation told the singer that he "had stolen money from Beyonce on her most recent tour or otherwise taken funds that [he] was not entitled to."
Fans comments on social media has shown great compassion for Nixon but believes that Wright, with $2,400 could supplement her funds with a job. Further, others question if this is a ruse to maintain a luxurious lifestyle and wonder what happened to the all the money she has already received prior to the reduction.
A comment raised by Taracy on In Touch's article says, "When she was getting 12k a month she should've put some away. How do you spend that kind of money and not own your own home??"
