R&B superstar Beyonce Knowles has parted ways with her father as her manager, with both sides claiming it was amicable.<\/p>\n
“I’ve only parted ways with my father on a business level,” Beyonce said in a statement Monday. “He is my father for life and I love my dad dearly. I am grateful for everything he has taught me.”<\/p>\n
Matthew Knowles had managed his daughter’s career from her start in the multi-platinum selling trio, Destiny’s Child, in the late 1990s through her phenomenal success as a solo artist: three blockbuster solo CDs, 16 Grammy awards and appearances in well-received movies, such as “Dreamgirls.”<\/p>\n
“The decision for Beyonce and Music World Entertainment to part was mutual,” Matthew Knowles said. “We did great things together, and I know that she will continue to conquer new territories in music and entertainment.”<\/p>\n
He said his record label will focus on its roster of artists in the gospel and inspirational genre.<\/p>\n
It was not immediately known who will take over management duties for Beyonce.<\/p>\n
“Business is business and family is family,” Matthew Knowles said. “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.”<\/p>\n
Beyonce’s mother, Tina, is also heavily involved in her daughter’s career and works as her stylist. In early 2000, the two launched a clothing line, House of Dereon — named after Beyonce’s grandmother.<\/p>\n
“I grew up watching both he and my mother manage and own their own businesses,” Beyonce said, about her father. “They were hard-working entrepreneurs and I will continue to follow in their footsteps.”<\/p>\n
