Beyonce And Father To Depart Ways-Business Wise, That Is

Beyonce Knowles

Matthew Knowles

Beyonce has decided to part ways with her long-time manager (and father) Matthew Knowles (on a business level).  This, in no way, diminishes their relationship as father and daughter.  According to E! online, Matthew has managed Beyonce since she was a teenager and was getting her start with "Destiny's Child".  Bey, a 16-time Grammy winner said,

"He is my father for life and I love my dad dearly," the now 29-year-old singer said in a statement.

She also acknowledged the contribution he has made to her career over the years.  Her father echoed her sentiments and said that the decision "was mutual" (yeah right!).  He went on to say,

"We did great things together, and I know that she will continue to conquer new territories in music and entertainment."

Kelly Rowland, another former "Destiny Child" member, separated from Matthew Knowles' management back in January.
