Despite having her father by her side all throughout her whole career, Beyonce severed ties with Matthew Knowles in March. While it was announced that the split was a "mutual" business decision, new reports indicate greed may have gotten between the daughter/father business dynamic.
In March, the singer confirmed that she had fired her father as her manager, but stated: "He is my father for life and I love my dad dearly."
However, TMZ uncovered some new dirt behind the scenes that suggest that it wasn't as happy a decision as it was made out to be.
It has been learned, via documents obtained by TMZ, that Matthew has filed legal papers claiming Live Nation led Beyonce to believe that he had stolen money from her, specifically from "her most recent tour," and/or "otherwise taken funds that [he] was not entitled to."
He says that after Live Nation made the accusations, his daughter had law firm conduct an audit and concluded that Mathew had indeed pilfered money from her, after which he was fired him.
He denies the accusations by Live Nation, though, and wants the judge to authorize depositions of various people at Live Nation, to determine just how they concluded he was a thief.
Matthew also claims that Beyonce has hired a new manager, who previously worked as a former exec at Live Nation and maintains a relationship with the company.
Beyonce has not commented on the situation.
