LOS ANGELES, Aug. 25 (UPI) -- Matthew Knowles has criticized a series of rumors surrounding his daughter, U.S. singer Beyonce Knowles, calling them part of a campaign against her new album.

The elder Knowles issued a statement this week in response to an ongoing fan petition for a re-shoot of his daughter's "Déjà Vu" video and other negative rumors, saying they seem orchestrated to engulf Beyonce's upcoming release of her album "B'Day," TMZ.com said.

"It is apparent that there is a consistent plan by some to create chaos around Beyonces 'B'Day' album release on Sept. 5 in the U.S.," Matthew Knowles said in his statement before listing the numerous rumors about his daughter.

"What will be next? Beyonce's cut off all her hair? Dyed it green? Maybe she's singing the songs in reverse with some hidden subliminal message!" he said.

The Web site reported as of Friday more than 6,600 fans of the former Destiny's Child singer have signed a petition to request an immediate re-shoot of her most recent video.
