Beyonce's dad: Bey did NOT fire me; we let each other go

Beyonce's father admits he found it "incredibly painful" to cut their professional ties, but insists she did not fire him.

Matthew Knowles, 61, admits it was hard for him to let his 31-year-old daughter - whose career he managed during her rise to stardom as a teenager with Destiny's Child until 2011 - take complete control of her own life, but has hit back at reports she fired him.
