Beyonce Drops Her Dad As Manager

After over 10 years of working together Beyonce and her father, Matthew Knowles, have decided to part ways as he will no longer be her manager it has been confirmed. There is no word on what led to them ending their business partnership but she did release a statement saying:

“I am grateful for everything he has taught me, I grew up watching both he and my mother manage and own their own businesses. They were hardworking entrepreneurs and I will continue to follow in their footsteps. He is my father for life and I love my dad dearly, I am grateful for everything he has taught me.”

Matthew has managed Beyonce since the late 1990s when she and Destiny’s Child exploded onto the music scene, then he took control of her solo career and helped turn her into the superstar she is today. He is also the one who helped banish the rest of the Destiny’s Child girls into oblivion.

In a separate statement he says “Business is business and family is family, I love my daughter and am very proud of who she is and all that she has achieved. I look forward to her continued great success.”

There is no word on who will act as her manager from now on but if I remember correctly there was a story going around sometime last year that hinted about her husband, Jay-Z, taking on the job should something like this happen.
