Beyonce's half-brother Nixon, 13, 'asks why singer doesn't love him' - as it's claimed pair have had 'no contact' despite star living 10 miles from her sibling in $200m mansion
Beyonce's half-brother Nixon - who was fathered by Mathew Knowles - has asked why the singer 'doesn't love him', claims his mother Alexsandra Wright in an emotional new interview.
Nixon, now 13, is the product of an affair between Knowles, now, 71, and Canadian-born actress Wright, 52 - but the teenager has never met his famous sister or father following a protracted child support battle.
Wright told the US Sun: '[He asks], ‘Why doesn’t that person love me?’ about Beyonce and added: 'Nixon has never had the luxury of being a normal child. Being related to someone famous smothers kids like him, and they lose their identity.
She claims there has not been any contact from the singer towards her half-sibling despite the fact she lives 10 miles from the pair in California's most expensive home, a $200m Malibu mansion.
Wright, a Global Collective CEO and Nixon live in a five bedroom LA home.
She said: 'I think Beyoncé is a lovely person and she has never done anything to harm me. I don’t want anything from them. I just want my son to be free and to have a happy life.'
Wright says it's hard for her 'quiet and reserved' son to see 'people living as billionaires' but that she does believe he and Beyonce will connect via social media at some point.
She said: 'I tell him, "fame does not equal happiness" so never covet what someone else has’.
She said Nixon is constantly asked at school if he is Beyonce's brother and that grown-ups will even take pictures of him.
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Beyonce and Matthew Knowles for comment.
In 2009, Beyonce's mother Tina filed for divorce from Mathew after he had an affair with Alexsandra, who fell pregnant and requested a paternity test. In 2010 a paternity test confirmed he was the father of Nixon.
In 2014 Knowles got his child support payments slashed due to his dwindling income.
Wright was bankrupted by the court battle and sought assistance from a homeless charity. The women’s support group arranged for the pair to move into a trailer after Wright was forced to go on public assistance - before the pair were taken in by her friend Shar Jackson.
Mathew is a record executive and talent manager who oversaw Destiny's Child's stratospheric rise.
He quit his day job in 1995 as a medical equipment salesman to actively pursue his daughter's career in the spotlight.
LaTavia and bandmate LeToya Luckett ended up suing Knowles after he replaced them with Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin in the Say My Name video released in 2000.
Nearly 11 years later, Beyonce and Mathew ended their business relationship when she founded her own management company called Parkwood Entertainment.
Mathew later went on to marry former model Gena Charmaine Avery just two years after his divorce was finalized; Beyonce and Solange reportedly did not attend the wedding.
Tina began dating actor Richard Lawson in 2013 and the couple were married on April 12, 2015.
