Beyonce discusses management split from father
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 13 May 2011
Beyonce has discussed the recent announcement that her father would cease to be her manager, a role he has carried out since the formation of Destiny’s Child. The singer says she has taken on the job of being his replacement herself.
Speaking to Billboard, she said: “It’s not that anything bad happened between us. My family has my support always, and they support me, but when you’ve been working with the same people for fifteen years, it’s natural to eventually have your own ideas. I believe that parents prepare their kids for the moment that they’re on their own: at this point, I’m taking everything my dad and my mother have taught me, and I’m able to do things my way. We were at a point where we’d learned so much from each other, and now it’s exciting for me to do this on my own and hire my own team. I’ve started managing myself”.
