In the feature interview, writer Ingo Mocek published quotes that were purportedly from “Sasha Fierce” herself.

Beyonce allegedly shared details about the marriage contract she has with her rapper superstar husband and said she had some ill feeling towards white music producers.

Neon magazine retracted the erroneous article and fired Mocek immediately after he was unable to prove the veracity of his interview.

The magazine’s editors, Michael Ebert and Timm Klotzek issued an apology, saying, “The Editors-in-Chief have confronted Ingo Mocek with these doubts. Ingo Mocek was not able to verify certain statements, particularly the statement regarding a marriage contract of Ms. Knowles. Therefore, we assume that the interview did not take place as claimed by Ingo Mocek.”

“NEON dissociates itself from the content of the interview with Ms. Knowles. NEON subscribes to a high level standard of truthful journalism. Since Ingo Mocek has violated these standards severely, NEON has terminated all relationships with Ingo Mocek with immediate effect.”

“We sincerely apologize to Ms. Knowles and her management for all personal inconvenience that may have arisen due to the publication of the interview.”
