Beyonce puts her dad in his place
Beyonce has admitted that she and her manager dad have had their differences regarding control of her career. She’s had to tell him to back off and let her make her own decisions now that she’s an adult.
“It took awhile for me and my dad to have an understanding,” she says in excerpts from the interview on MTV.com. “When I turned 18 and started handling my business more, he went into shock. And we had our issues.”
Among them, she says, “I’d say ‘No’ to something, and he’d book it anyway. Then I’d have to do it because I’d look bad (if I didn’t).”
The singer says that it “took about two years, to when I was 20, for him to realize, ‘Oh, she is an adult now, and if she doesn’t wanna do something, I can’t make her do it.’ “
Beyonce needs to spend some quality time with Jessica Simpson and teach her a few things about dealing with controlling fathers. I’m pretty sure the gist of it is, “Listen up old man, I’m your mealticket and now that I’m an adult, I can make my own decisions. You do what I say and if you don’t like it, you’re fired.”
Come to think of it, this would be excellent advice for Britney Spears to put her leech of a husband in his place too. Damn, Beyonce should be the next Oprah for celebrities who need to get their shit together!
