Beyonce's Father Slams Franklin For Criticising Her

Thursday 14th of February 2008
Beyonce Knowles's father has slammed legendary singer Aretha Franklin for her public comments criticising Beyonce's Grammy Awards performance.

Franklin was upset with Beyonce for calling her duet partner Tina Turner 'the queen', reports contactmusic.com. Franklin is usually called the queen of soul music and thinks Beyonce and the award writers took 'a cheap shot for controversy'.

Beyonce's father Matthew said: 'Beyonce referred to Tina 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?'
