Mathew Knowles released a statement about Beyonce canceling on that NY club date saying, "The cancellation of the launch party for Beyonce’s “I AM…” tour, first scheduled for this Saturday at M2, was a result of a breach of contract by the promoter. Beyonce never had a contract with the club itself and no one in her camp dealt directly with the venue. The superstar was never scheduled to perform but was to serve as a co-host and introduce singer/songwriter Solange’s performance. Patrons were falsely promised a performance by Beyonce." Well, Club Owner Dude, who had absolutley been advertising a Beyonce show at his club, is going around saying the real problem is Promoter Guy didn't cough up the $200,000 on time so Matt stopped answering their emails, even after Club Owner Dude offered to put up the 200 Gs himself because he'd already invested money and put his club's rep on the line by promoting the event.
Yeah well, E Online got a copy of the agreement and it says expressly says that "the artist" would not give a performance of any kind. Click here and read it for yourself. It's item 1. under the terms of the agreement. So Promoter Guy and Club Owner Dude WERE falsely advertising a Beyonce concert.
