Split ... Mathew says Beyonce has cut him out of her life

Beyonce's dad has talked for the first time about the bitter rift 

with his famous daughter – admitting he is devastated at 

being pushed out of her life.

"I always did my best for Beyonce ... fans can decide if she’s better off now with Jay-Z".



In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Mathew Knowles also 

hits back at claims he 

mismanaged the singer’s finances when he was in charge of her career.

Although he insists the decision to go their separate ways was 

mutual, Mathew, 61, is hurt 

that Beyonce has cut him out of her life.

It is believed he is yet to meet his 14-month-old 

granddaughter Blue Ivy, Beyonce’s child with rapper husband 

Jay-Z.

Mathew says: “I’ve never revealed this much in an interview before".

“Normally I hate to talk about anything personal, but it would be a lie if I did not say it has 

been difficult. It was hard for me to let her go — it was hard for 

both of us to let each other go. And let’s be clear on that. She 

didn’t let me go, we both let each other go. That’s a big 

difference.”

Speaking from his office in Houston, Texas, he adds: “This was 

not a normal ending of a business agreement. This was a dad 

and a daughter and it was incredibly painful and it had some 

difficulties. But I try to always have a positive mind about 

things and you got to do it the right way.”
