It's A Wrap: Kelly Rowland Ends Management Relationship With Beyonce's Dad

After much speculation, Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland has officially ended her relationship with Mathew Knowles's Music World Entertainment.

BV Buzz was the first to obtain a statement by Rowland from her new publicist, Simone Smalls, of Simone Smalls PR, Inc., about the change in management.

"Mathew Knowles has been a positive influence in my career. I have had great success under his guidance -- both as a member of Destiny's Child and with my solo projects. Although we have decided to part ways professionally, the Knowles family and the entire Music World Entertainment team will always be my family," said Rowland.

Knowles, who is represented by Priscilla Clarke, of Clarke & Associates, LLC, is also quoted in the joint statement.

"After a very positive meeting between Kelly Rowland and myself, we have amicably agreed to end our professional relationship. My company, Music World, will continue to manage Destiny's Child as a group. As an artist, Kelly has incredible talent, and I only wish her the best. We will always be family first and foremost, and as a dad, I only have love for Kelly," he said.

Rumors that the 27-year-old singer was planning to part ways with Beyonce's father began in December.

Initial reports claimed that Rowland was contemplating signing with 19 Entertainment (the company behind 'American Idol'), but I'm told that the singer has not yet decided exactly who she'll hire to be her next manager.

Though the Houston-bred entertainer became an international superstar with her last solo CD 'Ms. Kelly,' which was a chart-topper in both the United Kingdom and in France, Rowland has achieved only moderate solo success here in the United States.

A source at her record company, Columbia Records, where Rowland will remain as an artist, said that the label was ready for Rowland to go back into the studio to record her third solo album.

It has been rumored that the singer decided to make the management change so she could approach her junior solo CD with a fresh start.

In addition, the star of the films 'Freddy vs. Jason' and 'The Seat Filler' also has a television show being developed at the Style Network that is expected to launch before the end of the year.

Rowland recently collaborated with French singer Nadiya on the duet 'No Future in the Past,' which is featured on Nadiya's latest album, 'Electron Libre.'
