"I think people are smart enough to know that if I needed some money, what would I make more of? Selling a $5 t-shirt? Or look behind me," he says, pointing to the Destiny's Child plaques. "Would I make more by selling maybe this plaque, and getting maybe $10,000? I mean if I really needed money I think I probably could generate at least $100-200,000...But I wouldn't do that."

You can hear more of what he has to say about the scenario in the video above with his interview with VLADTV.

In other news, Mathew Knowles is claiming BET stole his idea for a reality show by giving the concept to Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland. Just like Beyonce, Kelly Rowland no longer works with her original manager as they parted ways in 2009.

'Mathew's show aired on Teen Nick because BET, VH1 and MTV passed on carrying the series after his daughter Beyoncé had terminated her working relationship with him and they wanted to stay in her good graces.

'The idea that BET would turn around a few years later and launch an almost similar project with Kelly, he sees it as the ultimate betrayal,' explained a source.
