Don't mess with Mathew Knowles' little girl.
He's come out swinging against Aretha Franklin for criticizing Beyoncé's Grammy tribute to Tina Turner.
In addition to an official statement released Thursday, Papa Knowles shared his thoughts with CelebTV.com.
"I am not taking something this ridiculous to Beyoncé," he said, adding, "Beyoncé referred to Tina Turner as a 'queen.' Not queen of gospel, queen of soul, queen of blues, queen of England. I consider my wife a queen and sometimes call her that. Does Aretha have a problem with that?"
Other than the props Mrs. Knowles now owes her husband for the royal treatment, we'd like to tell all other parties involved to shut up at this point.
Some poor writer working on deadline strung a bunch of words together to sound pretty—not to shake the foundations of R&B music.
