: MediaTakeOut.com's caught wind that yesterday on Wendy Williams' top rated radio show The Wendy Williams Experience - Wendy got former Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams to talk openly about smoking marijuana, having sex, and falling on 106 & Park.
For this first time ever, Michelle actually sounded like a real girl - not the manufactured bourgeois singer that she's been playing for the past few years.
The best part of the interview though is where Michelle claimed that Mathew Knowles forced her to change name - from her real name Tenitra - to Michelle. LMAO at a man who names his daughters Beyonce and Solange forcing her to call herself "Michelle."
And if you listen carefully, you'll wonder - what's up with Michelle and Charlamagne. Don't it sound like something's gonna pop off between those two....
this is old news..she said this years ago..and you cant get any more ghetto than BEYONCE..the only reason why people dont trip that she has a ghetto name is becaus shes a star.. but I bet if someone heard that name at a burger king somewhere, they'd be shaking their head like-***, what type of ghetto name is Beyonce
Beyonce and Solange are NOT ghetto names....they're GHETTO FRENCH names, seeing that their mother likes to throw in people's faces that, "I'm not really black..." as if being Creole or whatever is supposed to make you prettier. This whole name change game is old. I saw this 7 years ago, right after the other two girls were expelled from the group. This is one article that MTO has posted that I actually believe. Matthew Knowles made it clear without really saying it, that he wanted HIS daughter to out-shine everyone else. And he still wonders why Letoya and Latavia left the group. Rat ***!
Solange is a french name..but Beyonce is not..its a name that Tina Knowles created from her maiden name-Beyince..I guess the Knowles family feels that Beyonce sounds like an elegant name, but to me, it sounds plain ol ghetto..again, if you never heard that name in your life, and you were standing in line at a Burger King, and you heard some young hood rat call out to her daughter-Beyonce! get your *** over here! you would be like-Beyonce? no she didnt! we're just so used to the name by now that it seems regular
LMAO@ MissJNS! Yeah that Ghetto FRENCH and Tina will be the first to correct everybody. Lolol..
And yeah, Kelly's real name is Kelendria. Hell, they coulda had a whole group of hoodrat names. Beyonce, Kelendria, Le Toya, La Tavia, Tenitra...hahaha..***..
Goes to show ya--watch what you name your children because if they ever wanna make it big, they're not gonna get away with being named Shaniqua or Bonequisha..
HAHAHA
Evertime i say "BEYONCE", i have to SNORT when i'm finished.
HAHAHA
NOW HOW GHETTO IS A NAME, when yo gotta SNORT AFTER IT???
Here are few GHETTO SNORT names
BO-NI-FA (snort) LA-QUA-SA (snort) TO-CHI-KA (snort)
you get the picture
STOP NAMING THESE *** KIDS *** UP NAMES.
Give your kid a CHANCE in life.
Don't let them know WHAT COLOR they are before they come in the door.
IGNORANT A$$ES
parents of minority children have to be more mindful when they name their kids..Im all for showing ethnic pride, but the reality is, if an employer sees "Shaqueena Smith" on the heading of a resume, you can be sure that resume is going to the bottom of the pile on most occasions..same with spanish people-if they see Juan Sanchez, they automatically think-that person probably doesnt speak english..its a *** shame but thats the way the world works..if Beyonce wasnt a celeb, her resume would get thrown in the trash because they wouldnt even know how to pronounce it..just be mindful thats all..dont let your kids get lumped with stereotypes before they even get a chance to prove themselves..some young parents think its cute to name their kids these elaborate ghetto names..but they dont understand the harm its going to do as the child gets older..its America, yes this is a great country but we still have a looooong way to go
this is old news...
* kelly and beyonce are not related. not half sisters, not cousins, nothing * he made EVERY MEMBER change their name- except beyonce * he also made them change their hair (to be more plain) so that beyonce can shine * if you go to Youtube you can hear a VERY EARLY demo of the girls singing when they were 14 or 15 and KELLY actually sounds BETTER than beyonce.
of course Matthew is going to show favor towards his daughter. wouldn't any man have it that way. it all turned out for the good because everyone is doing great (except latavia and farrah)
This story is soooo old...The last chic that left (or got put out) the group said this in an interview....her first name is Destiny and Matthew wasn't having that either so she went by her middle name too which is Farrah. Beyonce got her name from her mother....it is Tina's Maiden name...her cousins name is Angela Biyonce..they changed the spelling...
MICHELLE WHO? KELLY WHO? LETOYA WHO? LATAVIA WHO? FARRAH WHO? ROTFLMAO!!!!!
I DONT SEE NONE OF YA'LL BISHES RUNNING TO BUY A MICHELLE OR KELLY ALBUM. AND THEN HAVE THE NERVE TO SIT ON HERE AND TALK ***.LMFAO BEYONCE WAS ALWAYS THE PRETTIEST AND MOST TALENTED IN THAT GROUP. OBVIOUSLY THE WORLD ONLY CARED ABOUT HER. ALBUM SALES PROVE THAT. DC IS BEST SELLING FEMALE GROUP EVER ONLY BECAUSE OF HER SINGING LEAD ON ALL THE SONGS. AND FOR THOSE WHO THINK BEYONCE IS A "GHETTO" NAME. WELL MAYBE YOUR FAVE FEMALE ARTIST SHOULD HAVE A "GHETTO" NAME TOO, THEN THEY MIGHT BE #4 ON FORBES AND THE MOST RECOGNIZED BLACK FEMALE ARTIST TOO.
MUSICLOVA
If she was so talented and pretty why did Beyonce need the group in the first place?? I know why so she can use them, and then leave and make her own solo career! It was her plan all the time! Beyonce is just a pop star puppet to me, it's no realnest about her. She just performs like her daddy say and get a check! She can't even defend herself, her daddy always have to speak up for her. I'm like your a grown woman, why can't you handle your own situations. Anyways people destiny's child was set up for Beyonce to shine, just look at the name of the group destiny's child. I always thought it should be desiny's children, because it's a group think about it!!

"If she was so talented and pretty why did Beyonce need the group in the first place?? I know why so she can use them, and then leave and make her own solo career!" ********************************************************************
You have described every lead singer of a group. Honestly to tell you the truth, I would wish that she did just say *** DC and went solo for good after Crazy In Love hit. BUT, She did Destiny Fulfilled with them, Why is that? Justin aint get back with NSYNC yet. After Of The Wall, MJ said *** my brothers LOL! Why would Bey go back to DC after DIL did so well. Thats just not normal!
I don't really like all these self proclaimed entertainers out there to me beyonce cannot sing dance or act if we go by the book definitions :) She is more of a teenage girls/ male icon Which is fine if it suits her.
I didn't really follow the destiny's child drama but if its true that beyonce and her father complotted to make her the star and purposely *** down the other girls chances to success may god help them for there is not enough money to clean up a bad karma
@Stylegirl: Very good point sister , Very good point Whenever i came across a beyonce interview she strikes me as a conceited , self centred person , uneducated young girl not yet a woman but its not my role to worry about that But those that unconsciously spend millions on her
First of all to all of the Haters trying to bash Beyonce and her family as always. The whole name change thing is old Kelly real name is Kelendria and Michelle's real name is Tenitra but she goes by her middle name MICHELLE and MTO is always trying to spin something just to get the haters going. Matthew didn't force her to use her Middle name. You people always gotta find a reason to hate on the Knowles family
i know most of yall probably hate bee, but i feel bad for her..if yall think hes this much of a dictator towards someone whos just a client, imagine how much of a taskmaster he is toward beyonce..i seriously doubt that girl had the authority of mean spiritedness at a young age to put that group through so many changes..he's probably mad her give up a lot to be where she is...i think shes just a normal girl with a power-hungry father so of course he was gonna make her stand put as much as possible so he can get more money and more power...
"i seriously doubt that girl had the authority of mean spiritedness at a young age to put that group through so many changes" So do i That's what I’ve been saying from the beginning i do think that her father had an impact on her present behavior but i seriously doubt that she was the one to be held responsible for the whole chaos then again if you don't say anything you're making a choice
If I haven't heard anyone mention her name..I would have thought that it would be BE--Yonce, like Bey & once..thats why its important to place that little accent over french name.
Solange's name is different as well as Beyonce!!
I agree with gig2007 in reference to resumes getting thrown in the garbage!! Thats true..especially in corporate america!!
I had a meeting the other day for a new position..I guess they thought that I was white my name,Work experience,address and the way that i speak over the phone. HOwever, when I got to conduct the meeting with the interviewer, her face *** near turned burgundy!! She thought that I was white!! LOL
"According to a study conducted by the University of Chicago Business School, your name may have something to do with who gets the call back interviews. Researchers conducted an experiment to measure racial discrimination in the labor market by sending out the same resume with “white” sounding names and “black” sounding names in answering the same want ads. The research concluded that white names elicit about 50% more call backs than black sounding names.
White sounding names such as Emily, Brad, Todd and Jill do significantly better in the job market with the same credentials as Jamal, Tanisha, Tyrome and Lakisha. Proving that education alone will not alleviate the unfair racial prejudices some employers hold. That absent affirmative action, white employers will choose white applicants. Although not the goal of the study, it proves that affirmative action continues to be necessary to provide some sort of equity in the job market. Unemployment for African Americans is double that of white Americans 11.8 percent compared to 5.5 percent for White Americans."
Used her maiden name as the first name for her daughter Beyoncé Knowles. While some sources claim that her maiden name is actually Beyince, that is false. All birth and marriage records show her last name is Beyonce, spelled identically to her daughter's first name.
there you have it. it may be ghetto to some but hell it was the woman's last name. you can't help what your last name is....
a lot of you send out resumes and don't get a reply and you wonder why. maybe you should check the *** up name your parents gave you. white ppl see that *** on the resume and they just through it in the garbage because they know you're black and you don't even get an interview to show them who you is as a person. that *** works in the hood , but not on 5th ave. Matthew is a business man . he know who buy cds and who don't.
YALL CAN KISS MY *** ABOUT BEYONCE AINT A GHETTO NAME. I NEVER HEARD ANY SH*T LIKE THAT IN MY LIFE. LIKE I SAID B4, THE KNOWLES FAMILY IS GRIMY! BEYONCE KNOW THIS AND HER FAKE *** IS JUST AS GRIMY. SHE GONE FEEL THE GUILT AND HER *** WILL GET HERS IN THE FUTURE AS WELL AS HER DICTATING DADDY.
AND IT DONT MATTER IF MICHELLE SAID HE FORCED HER OR NOT. BUT YALL ALL KNOW THAT IF SHE DIDNT CHANGE IT, SHE WOULD'VE BEEN REPLACED.
MTO they said this long ago..back when "survivor" came out..but i remember michelle saying that she changed her name on her own b/c SHE thought the name was too ghetto. but anyways i agree 100% with stylegirl and Bradley_Withorp_III is spittin some truth forreal. If me and some chick named Shanqueisha applied for the same job , they'd probably look @ my app. and just throw hers in the trash.

I know her cousin Angie and Angie's brother Larry and their last name is spelled Beyince. So how can Tina's name be spelled Beyonce ?
@Up2it & Taishon
If you aint know by now that you are fighting a losing battle! NOW YOU KNOW LOL! This has been going on for a year. Kelly & Michelle will never be held accountable for their career as long as Matthew Knowles is their Manager. Kelly could flop 100 times but as long she is with Matthew, he will always be the Blame for her failures! That wack *** performance at the BET Awards and other Live TV Shows had Nothing to do with it! Thats what MTO and these blogs want you to believe.
I honestly thought she was just using them too. DIL *** sure aint a flop, it gave her the biggest songs ever in her and DC's career. If you look at Nicole from PCD, her solo career didnt take off and now she is back in the group faster than you can say her last name. LOL! Beyonce didnt have to go back to the group because she has already accomplished what you are accusing her of doing. So what was the point in the Destiny's Fulfilled if she is so selfish and what not. You can say I'm being naive BUT I cant name too many lead singers that go back to a group after such a Huge solo debut!!!
*** Matthew Knowles, I could care less about that nicca. I like Bey because she is IMHO the best female performer of my generation. People who feel bad for Kelly and Michelle know *** well they would cop an album or pay to her Live solo! They wont admit it, but I will! LOL! Same goes for LeToya or Latavia.
I love the fact that mathew knowles loves his girl BEYONCE. i love the caring father act, we need more CARING FATHERS out their as for michelle changing her name well if u wana be in a money makin group you gota do wat the king says, thats how it goes, it was all for beyonce i love mathew knowles for loving his daughter

OH HELL HE NEVER WANTED THOSE CHICKS TO STAND OUT. GO BACK TO THE 1ST TIME YOU SAW THEM ON TV AND THEY SAID THEIR NAMES. I KNOW ALL OF YALL WAS THINKING WTF WHAT KIND OF NAME IS BEYONCE.
THATS WHAT PAPA KNOWLES WANTED YALL TO DO SO HIS DAUGHTER COULD STAND OUT.
BUT KELLY THE ONLY ONE STILL A PLANE THAT WAS NEVER MEANT TO TAKE OFF. SHE NEEDS 2 DROP THE KNOWLES PERIOD CUZ THEY NEVER GAVE A *** ABOUT HER CAREER.

I totally agree with you...
@ C_The_Goodfella- YOU DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT U TALKIN ABOUT. MJ NEVER SAID *** MY BROTHERS AFTER OFF THE WALL. HE DID ANOTHER ALBUM WITH THEM AFTER THRILLER WHICH WAS CALLED VICTORY AND HE DID A TOUR. AND ARE U FORGETTING THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY?
BUT THEY ARE FAMILY, THAT AINT BEYONCE'S FAMILY.
BEYONCE AND HER DADDY ARE EVIL AND THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOIN CUZ YOU SEE BEYONCE IS THE BIG SUCCESS AND THE OTHER GIRLS ARE ON WHERE ARE THEY NOW. SMART *** FAMILY IF YOU ASK ME. AND I DONT CARE IF SHE DID ANOTHER ALBUM AND ANOTHER TOUR, STILL DIDNT NOBODY CARE ABOUT THOSE GIRLS. MATTHEW PROBABLY SAID YOU IN THE CLEAR SO U MIGHT AS WELL DO ANOTHER ALBUM WITH THEM. WHEN MONEY IS INVOLVED YOU'LL DO ANYTHING, AND BEING A BIG STAR WAS OBVIOUSLY HER DREAM. SHE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON CUZ HER DADDY TOLD HER WHAT WAS GOING ON.
I never could get why Beyonce fans expect the rules of internet gossip to be suspended when it comes to her…it’s like you not only see that people say negative things about as many as 30 celebrities a day, but YOU TOO participate in the bashing, yet you somehow think it’s crazy, unnatural, and obsessive when Beyonce is the target? Now THAT is crazy.
THE KNOWLES ARE FAKE *** ***. THEY ARE FULL OF SECRETS AND LIES, AND YOU DUMMIES EAT IT UP AND MADE THEM RICH. THEY DON'T HAVE ONE FREAKIN DIME OF MY MONEY..I DON'T BUY THEIR CD'S, AND *** A BEYONCE CONCERT..THEY ARE FAKE AND PHONEY AND UNTIL THEY BECOME REAL, THEY CAN KISS MY ***, THEY WON'T GET ONE RED CENT OF MY MONEY. THEY'RE BLACK BUT TRY TO ACT LIKE ANYTHING BUT.. THEY REALLY SICKEN ME. I DON'T RESPECT THEIR HUSTLE, CAUSE THEIR HUSTLE IS BASED OFF PURE GREED...
Ya know, Mathhew Knowles is just sooo ***, well you know. I can't stand him. He makes Michelle change her name becuz he thinks Tenitra is to black, well what kind of name is BEYONCE and SOLANGE, are u kidding, It don't get more ghetto than that. He is really full of it. Sorry B, but yo daddy is really trippin here. I could never work with him, never, to much drama. And how can someone force you to change your name? Michelle, he aint nobody he don't own you, you aint his daughter(fortunately)so get a backbone. I would have cursed his azz out soon as he said some crazy mess like that. GIIRRLL, you don't know me.

LMAO AT THE IGNORANCE UP IN HERE !

@gigi2007: I agree. If I had never heard Beyonce's name pronounced before not only would I not know how to pronounce it but I would've assumed it was some made up 'hood name. However, I see what her mother was trying to do by linking it to her maiden name. I like Solange's name too.
@msarrogance: Many AA's in urban areas give their kids the silliest names and they aren't in no way similar to how Africans name their children. I see students with names I can't even pronounce and wonder how their parents came up with it. I'd take an African name over a made up AA urban name any day.
You all can jump on me and say what you want BUT to me Mathew has always had a lustful look in his eyes when he looked at the girls even his own daughter. I DID NOT SAY HE ACTED ON THEM and I may be wrong. If I am I apologize BUT I believe he has incestuous thoughts about his own daughter. I am not saying he's acted on them but his eyes do not have that father daughter look. He is not one I'd want for a father and manager he's TOO overbearing

-------------------------------------------------- THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MICHELLE'S NAME CHANGE AND THE OTHER ARTISTS, IS THAT SHE DIDN'T REALLY CHOOSE TO HAVE HER NAME CHANGED. MATTHEW KNOWLES THOUGHT THAT HER NAME WAS TOO DIFFICULT TO PRONOUNCE, in other words BY MICHELLE AND KELLY HAVING THEIR "GHETTO" NAMES CHANGED TO SIMPLE NAMES BEYONCE'S NAME STOOD OUT.
What is so proper about names like Beyonce & Solange? I don’t know who lied to him but with a last name like Knowles they know your a$$ is black!!!!! Besides has he heard his daughters speak? I like B but once Beyonce she opens her mouth it's over cuz she does not speak well at all and neither does Solange. If you ask me Kelly & Michelle speaks way better than they do. The nerve of him to make them change their names due to his narrow minded way of thinking. Then again people will only do what you allow them to do to you!!!!
@sanon: I don't believe Matthew had any incestuous thoughts about his daughter. What he unfairly did was to form a girl's group with the intention of his daughter being the lead while the rest just became back up. This is the same scenario that eventually caused the bitterness, that lasts til this day, among the Supremes. You don't start out as the Primettes, then Supremes and then one has an affair with the record label owner and rename a group Diana Ross & the Supremes. It wasn't fair to the Supremes and it wasn't fair to DC. S Surely, after all these years Diana Ross and Berry Gordy realize it was wrong but do they have the character or integrity to apologize for it? Hell no. Matthew doesn't either.
If Matthew only had Beyonce in mind to make her a celebrity, he should've kept her solo. The other girl's careers have not gotten off the ground like Beyonce's because he never put that much effort into it. Like him for what he did for them or not, I would thank him but hire my own management team. Life is much too *** to continue to have failing cds and no career. What is Kelly really known for now? Being in DC, that's it.
When these groups are formed, parents need to ask what is the intention of the manager before busting a child's self esteem.
First Off Beyonce Is Tina Knowles' Maiden Last Name (Same Name Just Spelled Differently) And She Thought It Would Be A Good Name For Her Daughter! Now IDK About Solange But Tenitra Is A Nice Name And It's Not Too "Ghetto"! Personally I Think Matthew Had Everything To Do With The Name Change Of ALL Of The Girls Just Because One Name Will Always Stand Out More Than The Others No Matter Who The Members Are! I Wouldn't Be Surprised If Beyonce Isn't Even Her First Name Either Being That That's Her Mother's Last Name!
Prince and Madonna are really Prince and Madonna..those are their real first names..anyway Matthew is and always was a controlling assh*le..so this *** surprise anyone..LaToya told a magazine once that Matthew didnt want Beyonce to go out in the sun because he didnt want her to get dark..and you know theyre from hot *** Houston Tx..hes a control freak and he thinks he always knows whats best..even Beyonce got tired of his *** and recorded B-Day without her father knowing becuase she didnt want him to have any input or say in anything
@focus The next time you see her perform and the camera pans out to Mr Mattthew Knowles in the audience maybe you'll see what I see. I didn't say he's ever tried or would act on it I said I see him look at her like a man looks at a woman he has lust for. He's not the smiling, clapping, cheering type, he is staring INTENSELY with those nasty man eyes. You do NOT have to agree. It's my opinion. I never said there was incest.
BIG UPS TO ALL MY HATERS! NONE OF YOU PEOPLE ON HERE MATTER ANYWAY. BEYONCE IS STILL THE RICHEST MOST POPULAR AND SUCCESSFUL BLACK FEMALE ARTIST OF THIS GENERATION AT THE END OF THE DAY. THE WORLD DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE OTHER DC MEMBERS AND NEVER HAS. LETOYA IS A PRIME EXAMPLE. HER ALBUM FLOPPED AND MATTHEW IS NOT HER MANAGER. LET ME GUESS, LETOYA ALBUM FLOPPING IS BEYONCE AND HER DAD FAULT TOO? GTFOH THIS SITE IS FULL OF DUMBASSES WHO ARE MAD THAT BEYONCE IS ON TOP. CRY A RIVER, BUILD A BRIDGE AND GET OVER IT ALREADY.
BIG UPS TO C THE GOODFELLA, TAISHON, AND UP2IT WHO ARE SOME OF THE REGULARS WITH GOOD SENSE.
Michelle or Tenitra needs to *** her f in mouth! When she first joined the group she talked about how the other girls made a big deal about little things such as hair and wardobe! Now you wanna talk sh*t because the checks are not rolling in like before *** your skinny behind up! No one cares about her real name you better work on your next album and stop burning bridges you ungrateful bean poll! I hate when people where down with the BS than after the fact wanna talk smack!!!!
I couldn't listen to no more of this staged a$$ interview. I had heard before that Matthew told her she had to change her name because it sounded ghetto...now she get's on the Wendy show and lie....to me that sounded like she was told to say he didn't make her change her name...she also sounded like she was protected herself from being sued too.
THE FIRWST PERSON I SEE WHEN I DO A MICHELLE WILLIAMS SEARCH IS THE ACTRESS AKA HEATH LEDGER'S BABYS'MOTHER...HOW CAN DESTINY CHILD'S MICHELLE WILLIAMS EVER STAND OUT WHEN SHE'S SHARING A NAME WITH HER?...MATHEW DEFINITELY KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING...BUT HEY SHE WENT FROM MONICA'S BACKGROUND SINGER TO A MEMBER OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL GIRL GROUP THUS FAR SO THINGS COULD BE WORSE
Did y'all actually hear the intereview? Matthew did not Change Michelle's name, she did. She did not say it sounded ghetto. That was WENDY Williams, not Michelle Williams, I have listened to the Radio interview and seen the TV interview with Miss Wendy, she likes to get things going, and Michelle knows this and thinks it is funny. Michelle on the other hand finds the name Michelle more mysterious and Exotic, though Tenitra does sound a bit ghetto, it sounds Exotic to me and I love it, and I know she does too. Wendy was just teasing her And furthermore, if you want to look her up online you find her quicker by typing in Tenitra Michelle Williams, or Michelle T Williams, or Michelle Tenitra Williams. Also on youtube, both Michelles show up but the singer pops up first and more often. And furthermore, if you look at the Internet movie Database, or on the broadway database you find her. She is in no way overshadowed by Ledger's baby mama.
Also I don't even find Beyonce to be ghetto,it is a French surname after all from her grandfather's Family Beyince. Like my name Tyson (a british surname), I mean, you know how much *** I get about that since I moved to Europe. I like the attention. If you know your DC history, you know the grandfather thought did tell them it was crazy to give her a last name for a first name, but hey, it Works, and let's just say it grabs the attention of the ENORMOUS country of france and also the Francophone diaspora in the Americas, as there is a heavy since of Unité Francophonique... Francophone Unity
And as far as Solange... Hello wake up. C'est un nom français, et il est normal. That is to say, it is a French name and it is normal, and considering the Family's French roots, it is really hard to say anything is ghetto about the name. So even if Beyonce is ghetto to some.
Idont like Beyonce at all and I most definelly dontlike Beyonce Dad!! Well because He dont have respect How in the Hell he gonna change michelle name Well her real name is Tenitra and her birth parents name her that and he think her name is ghetto so he made her change her name to michielleHell naw And his daughters name is Beyonce andsolonge now thoughs names are GHetto!!!I'msorry Butmy name is Anitra and my name is not ghetto and Tenitra is not ghetto So michelle You not with destinychilds no more So go back to Your nameTenitra because it's *** WhatBey'familysaysbecause namepretty
