The former manager, who masterminded Destiny’s Child‘s and Beyoncé‘s success, is taking his talents to the classroom. Next month, Mathew Knowles is teaching a course on how to make it in the entertainment industry. It will be a one-day boot camp experience at Houston Community College Central.
It’s no secret that Knowles credits himself with the super-stardom of his daughter and the massive success of former girl group, Destiny’s Child. He believes he knows the entertainment industry in and out after 20 years of experience in it. He also knows how to push rising stars to their full potential. Although he and Beyoncé are not on the best of terms (and have not been in a while), Knowles is still using his daughter for capital gain, but this time without embezzling her cash. He’s just using the Knowles name instead — right?
The day-long, intensive training, scheduled for September 13th, is titled “The Entertainment Industry: How Do I Get In?” Students can expect to “leave with real information, contacts and strategies for their own successful entertainment endeavors,” according to the course website. It seems a lot of money can be made from this course, especially for Knowles who is still paying child support.
The class is a pricey $295 per person, and $350 the day of the event. For that price, I’d hope to learn all the tricks from Queen Bey herself…but I would not count on her making an appearance.
