Beyoncé's father/manager, Mathew Knowles, has now lashed out against Aretha Franklin in defense of his daughter over a remark she made at the Grammys.Franklin – known as the Queen of Soul – was offended after Beyoncé introduced Tina Turner as "the queen" during the duo's Grammy performance.
"Something this ridiculous – it's childish, it's unprofessional," Mathew Knowles said in a statement Thursday. "And it's a sad day when egos get bruise because somebody used the word king, queen, prince or princess."
Yes, Matthew, Beyonce has made you a hell of a lot of money and you wanna defend your meal ticket, but I think it's cheap that he spoke out on this at all. This was a non-issue! Aretha's bloated ass got hurt and I think she's the one who looked bad, not Beyonce or anyone else. Aretha getting upset about Beyonce calling Tina Turner "the queen" was so petty. It wasn't even worthy of a response. Matthew, work on Solange's career and stop catering to B. Shut it, Pops!
