According to reports in 2017 Mathew Knowles' company Music World signed a 7 year lease for office space with Decorative Center of Houston, but broke the lease after only four years. DCH claims their next tenant paid less than Knowles and they are suing him for $390k in loss rents and damages.
Mathew has filed a counter suit claiming he notified Decorative Center of Houston that he was leaving the space because of the 'disruptive environment' and also alleges that the building manager said he didn't want any 'n-words' in the building and harassed Music World's Black employees.
The case is ongoing.
