As formidable managers, few in music history have made the impact Mathew Knowles has.
Renowned for shepherding the careers of both Destiny’s Child and Beyonce as a solo act, the Knowles patriarch was instrumental in the seismic success achieved by the acts on his roster.
Yet, with his clients having taken the reigns of their respective careers, he’s plotting his complete exit from the music business.
Full story below…
Speaking with Page Six, Knowles said:
“In the next two years, I will have transitioned completely out of the music industry… my plan is to be completely dedicated to mentoring, academia… There’s nothing negative about [the decision]. I’m personally ready to move on. I’ll continue to teach about the music business”
The Music World exec has spent recent years sharing his business and branding expertise by way of literature and academic lecturing.
He also has a new podcast, the Mathew Knowles Impact, which serves as a platform for more of his gems. Click here to listen.
He honestly needs his daughters back. Beyonce music wise needs him, he had the ear.
But i think he knows there isn’t any money in music anyone well not as much as it used to be. But i get Matthew but I’m ready for a tell all book bcuz nobody heard your story.
He put out a full tell out book last year. It was juicy no one reported on it tho
Beyonce needs this man cause he knows a hit when he hears it, beyonce doesnt have an ear for a hit.
Beyonce has been latching on to songs that are already hits to get a number 1 which is sad.
She did it with ed Sheeran perfect and she did it again with megan thee stallion savage.
She tried to do it with jbalvin me gentle, but it didnt work.
Absolutely, everyone should know their job and clearly we’ll never get hits like say my name or crazy in love anymore. Same with kelly, he didn’t manage her well but she sure had better music before.
Who does Camilia need f**?
There’s more to music than having a number one song. She has a great body of work, number one albums and songs. She has nothing to prove.
Bye old fool 👋🏽
He is a legend and he deserves his respect and flowers! 💜
The old music industry is gone in the wind. No one alive is still succeeding from your old way of thinking except your daughter and that’s only because of who SHE is. This is your karma for destroying the careers of beys bandmates and thinking you could carve any old bird off the streets into ‘the next Beyoncé’.
Hey FAKE Fancy CLOWN, I see you and your TROLL accounts.

Girl get a life I’m not one of these low-rent b*****ës that be going back and forth wit your bored äss on here.
Facts! The music industry, as he knew it, is gone.
I don’t think he realised the music industry left him when his daughter went independent from her father.
So does this mean with him no longer working on DC stuff and getting paid from it: we may get that reunion or album?
Fingers crossed
After managing DC what and who was he managing. Beyoncé was the last and she eventually let him go. The industry just ain’t the same as it was back then when you were like and admired.
My daddy and I have a very special relationship.
He doesn’t have anyone else to steal from. Good riddance!
