Oh, I smell a fight coming on! While introducing Tina Turner at the Grammy’s, Beyonce called Tina “the Queen” and Aretha Franklin was not happy. I guess she thinks she is the Queen.

Beyonce’s father/manager, Matthew Knowles, is lashing out at Franklin and said “Something this ridiculous – it’s childish, it’s unprofessional.” Matthew also went on to say in his statement, “and it’s a sad day when egos get bruised because somebody used the word king, queen, prince or princess.”

I wonder how Aretha will feel when Beyonce is introduced as the Queen – I don’t see that being so far off in the future. Tina and Beyonce’s performance was thrilling.
