Beyonce shocked fans when she split from her father’s management company a few years ago, as Matthew Knowles had guided her career since she was a child. In her recent documentary, “Life is But a Dream” Beyonce explained the split: “I felt like I had to move on and not work with my dad…I don’t care if I don’t sell one record. This is bigger than the record. It’s bigger than my career. I think one of the biggest reasons I decided it was time for me to manage myself is because at some point you need your support system and you need your family.”

Now, Matthew is speaking out, saying he’s  “proud to see her as a mother,” on HLN’s Showbiz Countdown.  Matthew continued that motherhood was something “very important to her and to see her hold baby Blue Ivy—that’s something very special.” Matthew also said he was proud of her latest career developments, in particular performances at the Inauguration and the Super Bowl.  “I can tell that special thing when Beyoncé’s really happy. It’s a certain way she dances, it’s a certain smile that she has. And I saw that. It brought tears to my eyes.” Sounds like someone is trying to get back in B’s good graces.

The president spoke at a fundraiser the singer and her husband Jay-Z hosted for the US president’s re-election campaign in New York – where they raised $4 million.

“To Jay and Bey, thank you so much for your friendship. Beyoncé could not be a better role model for my girls,” the president said, according to The Guardian.

During the evening, the US president joked that he had a lot in common with the million-selling rapper, telling the audience: “Jay-Z now knows, you know, what my life is like. We both have daughters. And our wives are more popular than we are… So we’ve got a little bond there. It’s hard, but it’s OK.”

Known for his performances in films like Carmen Jones and Buck and the Preacher, as well as his award-winning “The Banana Boat Song (Day-O),” Belafonte may be held in even higher regarded for his involvement in the civil rights movement.

During an interview last week with the Hollywood Reporter, when asked whether or not he was happy with the images of minorities portrayed in Hollywood, he called out the power couple by name.

“I think one of the greatest abuses of this modern time is that we should have had such high-profile artists, powerful celebrities. But they have turned their back on social responsibility. That goes for Jay-Z and Beyoncé, for example.”
