MAJOR shakeup in the Knowles camp! After rumors of a strained relationship have floated heavily for some time now, Beyonce Knowles has just officially parted ways with her long-time (and only) manager--her pappy Mathew Knowles.
Details on the father-daughter business split when you read on...
They've had arguably the most successful popstar run where parent-child manager-celebrity relationships are concerned. Beyonce has become one of the biggest pop divas in the world, and it's well known that her father, Mathew Knowles, is the major reason for her success.
But after a business relationship spanning almost two decades, Beyonce has officially split from her manager dad.
In a statement through her long-time publicist Yvette Noel-Schure, Mrs. Knowles-Carter told The Associated Press Monday that she and her father have parted ways "on a business level."
Beyonce says in the statement that she is grateful for the role her father has had in her career. And she adds that "he is my father for life and I love my dad dearly."
Mathew--who currently manages acts like Tiffany Evans and Sunshine Anderson--has managed Beyonce from day one, and was the vision and business mind behind Destiny's Child and the record breaking star's expanding solo career. It'll be interesting to say the least to see how this next album and next publicity run goes off without him.
It's also been rumored that the two, who used to be extremely close, have had a strained relationship for years--and it became worse after Jay-Z married into the family, and after last year's scandal of Mathew fathering another baby outside his marriage to Tina Knowles. Not everybody's going to love having a secret half-brother all up in the mix.
Insiders tell us there's more truth to those rumors than the public wants to believe. Especially because there's a good chance Bey will now be (possibly secretly) managed by her husband's Roc Nation Management Group.
This ought to get interesting....
