Beyonce's dad jumps to her defence
New York, February 15, 2008 Mathew Knowles says Franklin's
criticism of Beyonce is "ridiculous." To recap, Franklin was
upset that Beyonce referred to Tina Turner as "the queen" before
she and Turner performed at the Grammys this past Sunday.
Franklin
said in her statement she wasn't sure if it was Beyonce who used
the term on her own or if the Grammy people somehow put her up to
it. Either way, Papa Knowles isn't having it.
He tells CelebTV.com
he doesn't get what the big deal is. He says there are all kinds of
queens and he even calls his wife his "queen." Knowles wonders if
Franklin would have a problem with that, too.
