Beyoncé’s Father Fires Back at Aretha Franklin

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.

“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 bruised because somebody used the word king, queen, prince or princess.”

Franklin – known as the Queen of Soul – was offended after Beyoncé introduced Tina Turner as “the queen” during the duo’s Grammy performance.
