This led to the unravelling of Beyonce's parents marriage and her mother Tina filed for divorce in late 2009 after 29 years of marriage.
Tina Knowles worked as a stylist for Destiny's Child and continues to style her daughter. Together they launched a clothing line, House of Dereon.
Matthew was also said to initially be resistant to Beyonce's union with her now-husband rapper Jay-Z.
There have been rumours over the past couple of years that Beyonce was going to fire Knowles as her manager and instead partner with her husband's company Roc Nation.
In an interview with The Associated Press, he also said his daughter's decision to part ways with him as her manager is all part of her growing up.
He acknowledged Beyonce is a 'very, very smart businesswoman', and says as she turns 30, it is natural that she wants to have more control over her affairs.
Beyonce is currently working on her fourth studio album, a follow-up to 2008 disc I Am... Sasha Fierce.
