One down, one more to go (yeah, I'm talking about you Michelle). Well it's about damn time Kelly finally came to her senses and dropped Matthew Knowles like a hot potato.
It always seemed to bother me that Kelly and Michelle continued to stick with Matthew even after the disbandment of Destiny's Child. Did they feel they owed some kind of loyalty to him or something? their careers continued to stay in the middle of the road, while Beyonce's continued to flourish.
It really didn't seem to me that he had all their careers at heart. Hell, even Solange is playing fourth fiddle to her own sister, who seems can do no wrong. It's too bad that we won't be getting any dirt slung between these two since their split seems to be amicable.
"After a very positive meeting between Kelly Rowland and myself, we have amicably agreed to end our professional relationship," Knowles said in the statement. "My company, Music World, will continue to manage Destiny's Child as a group. As an artist, Kelly has incredible talent and I only wish her the best. We will always be family first and foremost, and as a dad I only have love for Kelly."
Rowland expressed her gratitude to Knowles. "Matthew Knowles has been a positive influence in my career," Kelly said. "I have had great success under his guidance--both as a member of Destiny's Child and with my solo projects. Although we have decided to part ways professionally, the Knowles family and the entire Music World Entertainment team will always be my family."
Everyone takes Matthews calls in the industry, and he's definitely a force to be reconed with. If this was all true, then why wasn't she selling records? Both cd's "Simply Deep" and "Miss Kelly" flopped in record stores. It just looked very obvious to me that Matthew was more interested in turning Beyonce into a global superstar rather than concentrating on kelly and Michelle. And these two didn't seem to mind sitting in the background like a bunch of backup singers, instead of taking control of their careers. Kelly is very talented and has potential to become a superstar in her own right. It's just sad it took her this long to realize that. maybe she should give Benny Medina, Johnny Wright or Larry Rudolph a call.
