I am so proud of Beyoncé and Solange, says father Mathew Knowles

Mathew Knowles, the father of American popstars Beyoncé and Solange, says he is proud of his daughters for the feat they have managed to achieve in their careers.

Early this year, Beyoncé was announced as the queen of the Grammys after becoming the most awarded artist in Grammys history, with a record 32 wins. The award that put her over the edge was the best dance/electronic album, which she won for her celebrated record “Renaissance.”

“I am extremely proud of their professional career; Beyonce has a major accomplishment in the history of the Grammy as someone who has won more Grammys than anyone ever in history,” Knowles told Asaase 99.5 Accra’s Nana Yaa Mensah as he appeared on the Thursday (26 October) edition of the Asaase Breakfast Show.

“They’ve had number one albums in the same year,” he said in reference to Beyoncé and Solange.

“What gives me as a father the most pleasure is that they are really good people. They will give the janitor or someone who’s picking their luggage the same kind of respect like they will give you or the president of Ghana. And that makes me really proud.

“Also, they are not afraid of their black race and culture. They will speak up and speak out about racism, sexism and I am very proud of them,” the manager of supergroup Destiny’s Child said.

Knowles, an American record executive is in Ghana as a speaker at the To The Top seminar in Accra on 27 October 2023.

Slated for the Cedi Conference Centre at the University of Ghana, the seminar forms part of precursor activities for the inaugural two-day Eat Drink Music (EDM) Festival at the Untamed Empire in Accra.

Knowles is best known as the manager of Destiny’s Child and father of popstars Beyoncé and Solange. In 2020, Nigerian music streaming platform MePlaylist appointed Knowles president of global marketing and communications after he invested an unconfirmed amount in the service through his company Music World Entertainment.

Knowles is a global leader, as a music executive, entrepreneur and lecturer. He is the manager of Destiny’s Child and the father of the musical sensations Beyoncé and Solange.

On his first ever visit to Ghana, Knowles will speak to young entrepreneurs about the business side of being creative.
