As the biggest pop star on the planet enters a new chapter in her life (a new album, tour, more movies and turning "30" in September) Beyonce has finally put on her freakum dress and big girl pumps and has parted ways with her father Matthew Knowles as her longtime manager. A statement was released to the Associated Press that the feeling was mutual and that they still love each other (they should - after all they are family), I'm thinking what everyone else won't say...I believe she wanted the baby mama scandal between her parents to cool down before she made parting ways with her controlling, philandering dad official.
Mathew released the following statement:
The decision for Beyoncé and Music World Entertainment to part was mutual. We did great things together, and I know that she will continue to conquer new territories in music and entertainment. Currently, I am very focused on the tremendous investment that our record label has made in the gospel/inspirational genre of music and on our supremely talented roster of artists, including Trin-i-tee 5:7, Brian Courtney Wilson, Juanita Bynum, Micah Stampley, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Pastor Rudy and others.
Music World will continue its partnership with Sony with Destiny’s Child and UK female group From Above, as well as management. We will also continue to develop the Music World family of labels: Music World Country/Compadre, Music World Kids and Music World Music. In Music World’s repositioning it will not continue its label/management role with Columbia/Sony artist Tiffany Evans.
Business is business and family is family. 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.
2011 seems to be a big transition for the global superstar, who's not really known for thinking outside the box and taking chances with her career, since all her solo hits sound like rehashed versions of old DC hits. But with a collaboration with Diplo and up and coming hip hop group Odd Future adding some much-needed finesse to her new album after the flaccid I Am...Sasha Fierce, it seems Beyonce is taking a page out of cooler sis Solange's handbook and is willing to do something different for a change. Only time will tell what the music will sound like, but I like this side of Beyonce. Kelly Rowland dumped Matthew back in 2009 and saw a much-needed spike in her career as a dance diva. Now that Bey's ready to spread her wings and fly with a new management team, be prepared to see her career soar further in the sratosphere.
