Beyonce’s publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, announced yesterday  that the Grammy-winning singer and her father have parted ways “on a business level”.

In the statement, Beyonce stressed her devotion to her father on a personal level.

“I am grateful for everything he has taught me,” Beyonce said in the statement. “I grew up watching both he and my mother manage and own their own businesses. They were hardworking entrepreneurs and I will continue to follow in their footsteps.”

“He is my father for life and I love my dad dearly. I am grateful for everything he has taught me,” Beyonce said.

Matthew, who has managed all aspects of Beyonce’s career from music to movies to fashion and perfume, didn’t say what led to the split, but he did say in a separate statement late Monday that the decision was mutual.

Knowles also got personal in his statement.

“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,” he said.

Noel-Schure didn’t comment on who Beyonce’s new manager would be. But father Knowles said his plans include focusing on his label’s work in gospel and inspirational music, where he said the company has made a “tremendous investment.”

    It’s got to be tough to manage not only one of the finest
    talents but also being his daughter. I’d like to see some
    of those back room arguments!
