UPDATE: Kelly Rowland did indeed fire manager Mathew Knowles.

Kelly released a statement saying, “Mathew Knowles has been a positive influence in my career. I have had great success under his guidance – both as a member of Destiny’s Child and with my solo projects. Although we have decided to part ways professionally, the Knowles family and the entire Music World Entertainment team will always be my family.”

No word as yet as to who will manage Kelly.

See original story below.

Seems like there’s trouble brewing in the family.  According to bossip.com, Kelly fired manager Mathew Knowles last night. I wonder how this will affect Kelly’s and Beyonce’s relationship. HB will keep you updated on this family drama.

    This won’t effect their personal relationship with each other at all. So there is no trouble in which this information is trying to portrait. Sometimes as a celebrity you have to reinvent yourself and it comes with a guidance in fresh thinking from a new manager. Kelly has to go for hers and staying the same would only limit herself.

    I doubt this will affect their personal relationship at all…business is business, and if she feels she needs a change from the norm (which we all do sometimes), then the change has to come from her, and she started with her manager. As for being able to survive without him, why wouldn’t she? She’s a big girl, and she’s made it this far, so we need not worry if she’ll SURVIVE…she’ll be just fine.

    I knew that this was going to come. It was just a matter of time. I told my friends for the longest time that Mathew Knowles was the new Joe Jackson. He promotes Beyonce heavily and barely promotes anyone else on his label. Beyonce is put on all the talk shows and performs on every award or tribute show. I didn’t even know Kelly or Michelle had CDs outside of Destiny’s Child. If Michelle and Solange are smart, they would leave Mathew too. Otherwise, they are going to continue to be overshadowed by Beyonce.

    Look lets be real I loved Destiny’s Child and the music they put out I also loved Kelly’s solo projects but they did not get the promotion that they should have gotten, because as we all know Beyonce’s daddy is the manager and his focus has been on Beyonce not Kelly or Michelle’s projects as his attention should had been equally put on all three artist, but when you join a family business this is sometimes what you get.

    Best thing she couldve done. She needs someone who will take her career to the next level and not put all his focus and attention on his daughter.

    She should go and find a new manager

    i think this is what she needed but in a sense its 2 way street the fans respond to beyonce faster than kelly or michelle put together. cause when their cds came out where i’m at they have the flyers and posters out and everybody just about runs to get beyonce before michelle and kelly everytime hell i seen people sleep pn solange a little and her cd is awesome! but good luck kelly on your career i wish you the best!

    is it just me? or does it seem like she wasnt doin much with him in the first place?

    If I’m not mistaken, didn’t Beyonce fire his ass as a manager too??? If so, no need to trip on Kelly for doing what should have been done a LONG TIME AGO!!! From day one this man had only his girls’ best interest at heart. She has mad talent but it doesn’t matter if you are not properly marketed. Marketing can make or break a music artist and that is being real. KeIly is a beautiful and talented young lady. I wish her much success on her future as a singer :).

    Sometimes you grow up and realize that you have outgrown certain situations, so kudos to Kelly for taking control.

    ummm, i dont really care what anybody thinks about Mathew Knowles, but dude is a cold as mgr. Destiny’s Child would’ve never made it w/o him. He sacrificed a lot of sh*t (time, money, his marriage, etc) for B, he’s her mgr and she’s has achieved it all. the chick is an icon. anyway, good luck Kelly. Do what works for u chick,

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bkfalsetto/ bkfalsetto

    personally i think something is up with that family. i mean is kelly mathews illegitamate daughter or something??..where is her family..you see kelly more then u ever see solange ..i think its alot of dirty secrets flying around in that family….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/scaredoflove2/ scaredoflove2

    Thank you lawd this women done got a brain. How long was it going to take before she realized she would always be a z-list singer under the know it all knowles camp. I mean ok when they were teenagers matthew being their manager ok but he only did that destinys child thing because he knew that bey couldn’t cut it as a solo singer out the gate. kelly is a great singer and if she had a camp that was behind her that meant her well she would have been shinning out the gate just like bey. To be honest the knowles camp knew what they were doing u see they didn’t even focus on their younger daugther solange(teenage pregancy at it’s peak) to be honest bey needs to thank kelly and the rest of the girls for their part because with out them their would have never ever been a glitter, sequins bedazzled bey. But this family reminds me of the biography of the supremes with Barry Gordy. Diana Ross was the center of attention in the group because she was sleeping with Barry Gordy so she got the best of everything and mary wells and florence henderson got nothing or crumbs doesn’t this sound and look familiar mary wells sang much better then Diana Ross but because of what she was doing she got the most attention. Well all i can say is kelly u are going to be fine do u and rise to the occassion.

    I belevie that Kelly did what she had to do for a good darn reason. And eventhough none of us as fans know them personally, I think Beyonces father is a control freak.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sweet_hospitality/ sweet_hospitality

    FINALLY!!! Now get with someone like LA Reid or swizz beatz or timberland, get with one of these hit makers and get on your grind Kelly and make some good music. Kelly unbeknowst to a lot people, did the echos in a lot of Beyonce’s songs so although she’s an alto, she’s got range, and range can take you places, if she hires a good producer and manager she can be right up there with Beyonce and J. Hudson making that paper and demanding some stuff. She would stay in the dark behind Beyonce if she kept Matthew as a manager. Everyone knows its all about Beyonce with that family, even her little sister Solanger gotta beg for attention. She’s reduced to writing songs and having to give them to big sis to sing to get a check. Go get your Kelly and tell Solange to go get her’s too!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sweet_hospitality/ sweet_hospitality

    After reviewing the some of your comments I agree, it is something fishy about the whole Kelly and Knowles family relationship…. she probably is the illegitimate child of Mathew…. time will tell all though

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mstbrownsugar/ mstbrownsugar

    we all know b was the main focus the other girls was just props but kelly kell got talent she hould have done it a long time ago…b- played her though she too c**ky,thats why jen won that oscar and she did not even though she had previous acting exp…..lol yeah right… you cant be mad at her though she a hustler she have earned whatever she got….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Capricorn92/ Capricorn92

    well way to go Kelly even though it took you almost a decade to get a backbone and leave the Knowles family. I always felt Kelly was the better singer and now maybe just maybe she can show that……thats if she stops trying to act like Beyonce, girl please be yourself!!! Yes Matthew Knowles made everything about Beyonce but when Kelly was doing her solo work she made everything about Beyonce as well, which is sad but now she can hopefully get it together good luck!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/AYARI_02/ AYARI_02

    It’s about time! I always enjoyed her vocal range over Beyonce. Especially when she collaborated with other artist because
    Matthew couldn’t control the outcome on another persons song.
    He didn’t do anything for Sunshine Anderson, Kelly, Solange or Jon B wen they were on his label.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TOTALBODYIMAGE/ TOTALBODYIMAGE

    YOU KNOW WHAT? SCREW HER BECAUSE WHEN THE ORIGINAL GIRLS IN THE GROUP(DESTINY’S CHILD) BROUGHT UP THE CHARGES AGAINST HIM BACK THEN, SHE KEPT HER MOUTH SHUT BECAUSE THEY WERE GIVING HER WHAT SHE NEEDED. NOW KNOWLES HAS DID WHAT HE SET OUT TO DO,THE PARTY WAS OVER. PLEASE!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/subbostonguy/ subbostonguy

    Of course its her kid, you know da bruthas will bang any one any time any place with

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/dSlim06/ dSlim06

    Now that she’ll have a manager not worried about her doing more than his main client, I thnk she’ll be able to do a lot more both musically and acting if that’s what she wants. Maybe it took her so long because her relationship with the family meant more to her and not like she’s hurting for anything and it’s taken her longer to see what we’ve been able to see on the outside than what she may have been feeling on the inside.. Better late than never! Go Kelly! I wonder if M. Knowles threw some hints at Columbia to drop her because she dropped him….just wrong!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/yagirl-cyn/ yagirl-cyn

    I wish kelly nothing but best because she’s a good singer and she can go far than most people think she can !Go Girl!

    I wonder the real reason why Kelly fired him. There is always more going on than what is told.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/southdade77/ southdade77

    Man look here kelly is a true talent to herself and it was time ya know ,ya noticed everytime one of the other memebers from destiny’s child dropped a album it was stamped out by the promotion for beyonce’s new album , it pissed me cuz if it all about them being sucessful in the long i thought m.knowles would’ve released each album difrrent quarters of the year and for HE DESERVES TO BE FIRED AND I HOPE BEE FOLLOWS SUIT
