Beyonce's Dad Stole Money From Her?!

Beyonce's dad says he was forced out of managing his daughter and now her new management is claiming he stole from his own daughter!

Beyoncé's father wants to depose Live Nation to find out if the concert promotion giant orchestrated allegations that he stole from his superstar daughter and if she earned a payday for dumping him as her manager.

As previously reported, Bey fired her dad manager Mathew Knowles on May 13. A petition was filed on Monday in Harris County District Court.

Beyonce's dad alleges that he was forced out of managing his daughter's affairs by a company that wanted to run her lucrative world tour. He is asking a judge for permission to question Live Nation officials about their business relationships with Beyoncé and her husband, rap mogul Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, among others.

Matthew especially wants to know who told his daughter that he took money he wasn't entitled to and if Live Nation had a role in his termination. That information, the petition said, will help him investigate potential grounds for a lawsuit.

Before Matthew's termination in May, Live Nation only possessed the rights to Beyoncé's 2011 North American tour, the petition said.

"Upon information and belief, after failing to secure the rights to Beyoncé's world tour, Live Nation agents or representatives made statements to Beyoncé, alleging that (Knowles) had stolen money from Beyoncé on her most recent tour or otherwise taken funds,"

says the document.

Whether or not Matthew's allegations are true.....we've seen this time and time again...talent being pulled away from their family or people in their lives so their NEW management can have all control.

Britney & Nicki Brawl It Out On Tour?

The Femme Fatale tour just kicked off June 17, and there are already reports saying that Britney Spears and Nicki Minaj are butting heads!

According to the rumor, a source is saying that

“[Britney] is upset that Nicki kept running over [her allotted] time. In Sacramento she was over about 10 minutes. But [on Saturday night in San Jose] Nicki went over by nearly 45 minutes.”

Brit reportedly confronted Nicki and her crew.

“Britney came by Nicki’s dressing room with her dancers,”

the insider added.

“They were talking sh– like they were going to do something. Nicki came out [of her dressing room] and at first was going to beat someone’s a–. But when she saw how ridiculous Britney and them looked, she just laughed.”

Lil' Wayne Extends "I Am Still Music Tour" -- Goodbye Nicki, Hello Keri & friends!

Lil Wayne has extended his "I Am Still Music" tour but Nicki Minaj won't be coming along for the ride this time!

Since Nicki will be joining Britney Spears on her tour, Weezy is attempting to spruce it up by adding a few new acts. This time around, Wayne will be joined by Rick Ross, Keri Hilson, the Far East Movement and Lloyd.

A whopping 40 dates have been added to the tour. New performances begin July 13 in Hartford, Connecticut, just a few weeks after the Weezy drops his 10th studio album, Tha Carter IV, on June 21.

The tour is expected to wrap up on September 11 in The Woodlands, Texas at the Woodlands Amphitheater. The second leg of the I Am Still Music tour will see Lil Wayne gracing stages of amphitheaters and arenas in cities such as Tampa, Florida, Atlanta, Georgia, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Toronto, Ontario and Dallas, Texas.

Nicki Minaj took her new lap dance frenzy to another level last night (April 6th) when her, Weezy, Rick Ross and more hit the stage in Orlando, Florida...

"She got a big butt"

sat her in a chair and told her

"Now listen mama, keep ya legs open, hands behind ya back, and ya mouth shut!"

Nicki had a guy on stage, but when she asked the crowd, check out what happened...

Nicki Minaj To Join Britney Spears Tour?

Sources say that Nicki Minaj is in discussions -- but not confirmed -- to support Britney Spears on her upcoming tour after Enrique Iglesias abruptly pulled out hours after the tour was announced.

Nicki is currently on the road with Lil Wayne on his "I Am Still Music" tour until April 28 and Britney's tour doesn't start until June 17. The tour promoter, Live Nation, and representatives for Nicki could not be reached for comment.

Word is, Brit has expressed interest in adding Usher to the tour but he is highly unlikely to join, as he is managed by Randy Phillips who also helms AEG Live, producers of Britney's' last tour who are very competitive with the current promoter Live Nation.

Who would you like to see Brit on tour with?

Nicki Minaj Pulls Out Of Rihanna Tour! Find Out Why...

Just when I thought things were going great with this all-female power- tour, then BOOM, Nicki Minaj pull out and says she's not doing it?! I was really looking forward to seeing this tour follow through. As I respect Nick's decision, I still think it would've been a humongous move for her to broaden her career...

Check out what she wrote on her twitter about it:

Jay-Z Rakes In Over 9Mil on BluePrint 3 Tour!

Billboard made a recent tally of 2010's top grossing shows thus far, and Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 tour took eight of the top 35 spots. Of the eight, Jiggaman's best-selling show closed out at #10 overall after it grossed $1,322,831.

To give some added perspective on how much an artist can make in two weeks of touring, Jay-Z's tour, which featured Jeezy and Trey Songz, grossed a total of $9,731,218 between March 11-24. Hov's recent deal with concert-giant Live Nation, who famously signed him to a "360 deal" worth a reported $150 million, and also organized his 2008 tour with Mary J. Blige, which grossed $34.5 million, is likely responsible for the rapper's high live performance profits.

"With everything else going on in his career, maybe he hadn't focused on tours as much as he could have,"

a Live Nation VP told Billboard.

"But we always knew he was an amazing live artist and the kind of artist we could work with to get to where we needed to be on the live side."

Jay's next day is his headlining gig at California's Coachella Festival, which takes place on April 16, before he heads out to Europe and Japan.

Kid Cudi Held At Gun Point By Police Just Days After Leaving Lady Gaga Tour!

As if Kid Cudi didn't have enought to deal with this month...he was held at gunpoint by police in Los Angeles Tuesday (Dec. 21), in a case of mistaken identity! (Wow) This happens just days after he left his opening slot on Lady Gaga's Monster Ball tour.

Let's rewind real quick, Cudi punched a fan in the face one week ago, which he then left the Lady Gaga tour.
His people say he left for schedule conflicts but everyone else pretty much speculates that it was definitely because he punched that fun! (Click here to get those details & hear what the fan had to say about getting punched!)

Ok so let's bring it back to what happened yesterday, Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, was in the midst of a photo shoot for NME magazine when he and his entourage were pulled over on Fairfax Avenue by police offers in search of suspected robbers.

NME reporter Emily Mackay later blogged about the incident, describing a dramatic scene that included "an angry, shaven-headed American policeman screaming, 'KEEP YOUR TWO HANDS VISIBLE' while pointing a gun at the back your head through the rear window."

According to reports, Cudi and his entourage were ordered to exit three vehicles and kneel on the ground, where they were handcuffed. Police soon released the group, however, upon realizing that they had detained the wrong party.

"Such is life, apparently, when you roll with Kid Cudi and his crew," added Mackay.

Police then ordered everyone out of the car and forced the passengers to the ground on their knees, reportedly responding to a call from a neighbor in the area saying that a group of men were looting.

Writer Emily Mackay was one of those on the scene, and according to her blog post about the incident, she, Cudi and others were handcuffed. She said that there were "10 or so armed police officers with an alarming amount of weaponry pointed in our direction as a helicopter circles overhead."

The rapper was released moments later, and the officer in charge claimed it was a case of mistaken identity. Cudi appeared "jovial" after the incident, Mackay said.

"Who knows, really, the story changed a bunch," Cudi later told NME about the ordeal. "I'm just happy to be back. I'm a free man! For that moment I was not free. I was in handcuffs. It did not feel very comfortable."

A representative for the LAPD had no comment when contacted by MTV News. Representatives for Cudi were not available as of press time. The rapper's manager, Plain Pat, tweeted about the incident, assuring fans that Cudi was not arrested.
