DHAKA: Beyonce Knowles has hit back at allegations she was kicked out of the Pyramids in Egypt for being ‘`rude’.`

The ‘Love On Top’ hitmaker, who has a 22-month-old daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, with her rapper husband Jay Z, was reportedly told to leave the popular tourist attraction in 2009 by infamous archaeologist Dr Zahi Hawass, who is known as ‘Egypt’s Indiana Jones’ because he was unimpressed with her behaviour.

The former Egyptian antiquities minister told The Independent newspaper, ‘Most people I take on tours are very nice and we become friends. But this lady... She said she would come at 3 p.m. but she came late. I said ‘You have to say I’m sorry I’m late’.

But she didn’t open her mouth, reports contactmusic.com.
