The mother of one has just debuted a new music talent show called 'Chasing Destiny' and according to reports, her former manager, Knowles is furious with her & BET for stealing his concept.
According to The Daily Mail, Knowles once considered Rowland to be his own daughter, but now Beyoncé's estranged father is on warpath against Destiny's Child original member.
The former music industry power-player was served a harsh blow when BET Networks announced that Kelly will hold auditions for her new talent competition reality show, seeking singers and dancers to form a new group, the best-selling super-group that made Kelly, Beyoncé and Michelle Williams international icons.
Knowles is said to be beyond pissed after hearing about the concept for the show, which he thinks is a direct rip-off of an unsuccessful attempt at a similar concept he tried to craft after his superstar daughter quit the group in 2011.
A source told Daily Mail:
"In the past, there was talk that a lot of the deals and opportunities that Mathew received for Kelly and Michelle were offered up to Beyoncé first and sometimes even Solange Knowles and Kelly and Michelle would lose out.
"Now that Kelly is looking out for herself, she could care less what Mathew thinks about her hosting this show," said the source.
Rowland is married to retired American boxer, Tim Witherspoon and they share 11-months-old Titan.
