PrintableBeyonce is all grown up.
After a professional lifetime together, the superstar and her father,Matthew Knowles, have parted ways, with Matthew no longer managing the "Halo" singer.
"I've only parted ways with my father on a business level," Beyonce tells UsMagazine.com in an exclusive statement. "He is my father for life and I love my dad dearly. I am grateful for everything he has taught me. I grew up watching both he and my mother [Tina Knowles] manage and own their own businesses. They were hard-working entrepreneurs and I will continue to follow in their footsteps."
Indeed, Matthew Knowles, with then-wife Tina at his side, was instrumental in launching his daughter's career as a young singer and entertainer, from the beginning of Destiny's Child and even earlier.
Matthew explains to Us exclusively of the momentous decision: "We mutually agreed to part ways in terms of me managing Beyonce, as my focus is in the investment of Music World Entertainment's growing gospel and inspirational music division, which includes Top 10 artists Trinity 5:7, Brian Courtney Wilson, Micha Stampley, Vanessa Bell Armstrong and Dr. Juanita Bynum."
He continues: "Because of the success of all of these artists, my focus has to be on gospel now. I am also still going to continue on with my joint venture with Columbia to work on Destiny's Child and develop new artists, like the UK pop band From Above, plus Music World's kids music division." As for who will now manage the superstar, who plans to release a new album (a follow-up to her smash I Am . . . Sasha Fierce) later this year? "Beyonce has the knowledge and experience to make that decision and no final decision has been made yet," Matthew says.

I saw this coming. Though Mathew Knowles was instrumental in Beyonce's career, he has too many personal issues and is very controling (like Joe Jackson). It's time for Beyonce to move on. Good for her. Except for Beyonce, Mathew Knowles track record for producing stars is poor (including his other daughters Solange and Kelly).

Yeah his involvement with her lately, at least the last 3 albums has been strictly as just a name on a check, his management was as real as the "Lennon/McCartney" songwriting partnership.

I agree. She's already established herself as a megastar. Of COURSE she'll be fine; probably WAY BETTER OFF too. Hungry? Just look in the mirror and get fed up. | |

True.
Gossip and personal lives have nothing to do with professional career moves. I think her dad's an asshole, too but he's the asshole that got her where she is. Nobody is going to fight for her career like he did. Its likely this is the beginning of the end for her but maybe she'll grow up a little and stop singing songs written by kids for kids. | |

No he didn't. He trained her and helped make opportunities for her. Beyoncé is a talented singer/performer in her own right. Unlike Britney, she actually has the skill set to get the job done. She needs a new direction. This might be the start of it but without a doubt he was instrumental in getting her where she is today.
That would be a good start. | |

I'm not talking about gossip or personal ish. I was thinking more along the lines of Dionne Farris' public fight with the weezle and how he burried her career and others in an effort to monopolize the market. Space for sale... | |

Ah. Yeah, he's like that. Well, lay down with dogs... Lesson for Dionne: never sign with pop people if you are not one. She blogged about him and his camp: http://www.myspace.com/dionnefarris/blog/443169265 | |
