Beyoncé’s father hits out at “narrow-minded” criticism of Dubai gig

Latest entertainment gist

Beyoncé‘s father Mathew Knowles has hit out at what he calls the “narrow-minded” criticism of her controversial Dubai gig.

Last weekend (January 21), the singer performed her first headline show in over four years last night at the launch of a luxury hotel in the UAE.

The show came after influencers and journalists had been invited by Beyoncé to join her in Dubai for the opening of the Atlantis The Royal hotel. A “performance of a lifetime” was promised.

Beyoncé was also criticised by fans over her decision to perform in Dubai, which has a history of human rights violations, and where homosexuality is illegal.

In a new interview with TMZ, Mathew Knowles defended the performance, saying that Beyoncé “gave respect and got respect back from the country”.

He added that she “united a really diverse crowd with her incredible performance overseas, bringing people closer, as she does best.”
