Media personality Jay Bethea, founder and host of Hype Culture, continues to expand his national media footprint with exclusive interviews airing across NBC and CBS affiliate networks.
In a standout recent segment, Bethea sat down with music executive and entrepreneur Mathew Knowles, who offered his candid reaction to daughter Beyoncé officially reaching billionaire status — a historic milestone that underscores her influence not only as an artist, but as a global business force.
During the interview, Knowles also revealed details surrounding his newest venture: an innovative partnership with Candles, a premium live-event experience reimagining the iconic catalog of Destiny’s Child through an elevated, immersive format. The experience blends music, atmosphere, and storytelling, designed to honor the legacy of one of the most influential groups in modern music history while introducing it to a new generation of fans.
The Candles live experience officially launches on January 9th — Knowles’ birthday — in Houston, Texas, before expanding to additional cities nationwide.
“This is about celebrating legacy, culture, and innovation,” Knowles shared during the interview. “We’re creating something special that brings people together in a powerful, intimate way.”
