Former Destiny's Child, Kelly Rowland, has confirmed that she will part ways with long-time manager and Beyoncé's dad, Mathew Knowles.

Rumours had emerged recently of rows between the two, and that singer was unhappy with her lack of success in the U.S. Despite this, they've all been very diplomatic about the whole thing, releasing positive statements to the press claiming the usual "amicable" split and wishes for "every success in the future" etc etc.

This isn't the first time Mr. Knowles has gotten up the nose of his daughter's mates either, as the changes to the original line-up of Destiny's Child came about when LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett requested a change in management. Moral of the story - don't try to fire your best friend's Daddy, especially when she's the talented one...
