Michelle Williams Fires Beyonce’s Dad, Mathew Knowles, As Manager!

Daddy Knowles is being sent “To The Left, To The Left.” Michelle Williams has become the latest former Child of Destiny to part ways with Beyonce’s manager dad Mathew Knowles. The singer has been managed by her former bandmate’s father since she joined the now defunct girl band in 2000, but on Tuesday, Michelle announced that she is parting ways with Knowles and his Music World Entertainment company so she can take her career “in a new direction.”

The move comes a year after ex-bandmate Kelly Rowland ditched Knowles as her manager.

“After much prayer and consideration I have decided to part ways from my management team, Mathew Knowles and Music World Entertainment,” Williams, who will take over the role of Roxie in the Broadway play Chicago next month,” said in a statement this week. “From my time in Destiny’s Child to my solo career, I am grateful for everything Mathew and his team has done for me. We’ve shared great success together. However, as I move in a new direction in my career, I felt it was time. I wish Mathew Knowles and the Music World Entertainment family all the best.”
