In 2011 Beyonce fired her father/manager Mathew Knowles after the Live Nation touring company alerted the pop star to her father skimming money off her concert tours [click here if you missed that].
On an unrelated note [or not] Beyonce just fired her Live Nation manager...
From The Daily Mail
Beyonce has allegedly dismissed her general manager Faisal Duranni so that she can gain even more independence with her husband, who plays an unofficial managerial role.
A source told the Daily Mirror: 'Jay has been heavily involved in Beyonce’s career for years, and was instrumental in organising the Mrs Carter Show World Tour. But he isn’t officially regarded as her manager – she really is independent.’
The insider added that the couple, who got married in 2008 and have a two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, want to put family life first.
‘Now the couple have Blue, she wants to make sure her family come first at all times, especially as there’s talk of them adding to the brood,’ the source added.
‘The best way to do that is to make sure all managerial decisions are made by her and her husband – together.’
