Beyonce daddy has some fightin’ words for The Queen of Soul. Legendary songstress Aretha Franklin issued an egotistical press release on Tuesday blasting Beyonce and Grammy Awards writers after Bey referred to another singing legend, Tina Turner, as “The Queen” during Sunday night’s 50th Annual Grammy Awards. Matthew Knowles wants to know what all the fuss is about, he says:
“As a manager I am not taking something this ridiculous to Beyonce. Beyonce referred to Tina Turner as a ‘queen. Not queen of gospel, queen of soul, queen of blues, Queen of England. I consider my wife a queen and sometimes call her that. Does Aretha have a problem with that?”
That was a kickass article. What do I do now?

BEYONCE LOOKS UP TO TINA BECAUSE SHE SEES HERSELF SURPASSING TINA…SHE CAN’T SURPASS ARETHA…BEYONCE IS SO RUDE OUT DANCING A 70 YEAR OLD WOMAN AND ALMOST KNOCKING HER DOWN…RIHANNA DIDN’T UPSTAGE THE TIME…SHE DANCED WITH THEM…
ALSO, IF THE TRIBUTE WAS TO TINA, WHY DID BEYONCE HAVE TO SING SNIPPETS OF HER SONG…TINA IS KNOW FOR SHOWING HER LEGS - BEYONCE HAD TO STEAL THAT AND THE WILD HAIR!
BEYONCE IS SELFISH AND HAS NO RESPECT FOR ANYONE, NOT EVEN MICHELLE OR KELLY.
SHE IS TO SELFISH TO EVEN LET THEM MODEL HER MOTHER’S GOWNS IN AN AD I SAW IN ESSENCE.
BEYONCE CAN YOU SPELL SHARE. YOU DIDN’T MAKE IT BIG BY YOURSELF - DON’T FORGET OTHERS.

ok ok, it’s time for daddy to sit down and take a back seat in the corner and let beyonce be that woman she claims to be, she dances on stage like a grown woman, so let her stand on own ground,
it was not daddy’s place to speak up to the” QUEEN OF SOUL ARETHA FRANLIN” it should have been beyonce aka sasha places to stand up to the QUEEN of soul ARETHA.
beyonce is not little girl anymore father Matthew, she is a grown woman so un-tie the apron strings and let her go, this is not the first time she’s going to have a run in with a celeb. and it won’t be the last. so let her stand her own ground. Matthew U were out of place to reply. and sorry THE QUEEN OF SOUL IS ARETHA and no one can take that title away from the QUEEN….I do love tina, but she’s no queen of soul.
Ms. Aretha U are the QUEEN of SOUL and U will forever be the QUEEN of SOUL all over the world…. we love U because U earned that title, it’s written on every mazagine, book, etc. that we pick up and read.
Matthew take a sit down and stop treating beyonce like a lil girl, it’s so so silly of U to blah blah blah.
it’s bad enough U show up at almost every event to hold her hand, I know JAY-Z must be sick and tired of U actting as beyonce’s baby sitter….smmfh!…end of story

Matthew Knowles, swinging on the coat tail of his daughter’s success, should shut-up and learn to respect his elders. Everybody knows Aretha is the queen of soul.

Matthew missed his chance to school these young artists. We need to honor those who came before us. Aretha is truly the queen of soul. Sure, it was a diva moment for Aretha, but she has earned it with 20 grammys and has represented our community well.
