BeyonceBeyonce KnowlesBeyonce Knowles' daddy has come to the rescue.

Somebody has had a go at his little girl...

Beyonce's father and manager, Matthew Knowles, has waded into the Aretha Franklin debacle.

He's stood up for his daughter over a remark she made at the Grammys, and Aretha's subsequent upset.

He said in a statement: "Something this ridiculous - it's childish, it's unprofessional.

"And it's a sad day when egos get bruised because somebody used the word king, queen, prince or princess."

If you haven't heard - Aretha is miffed because she's known as the Queen of Soul - and was offended after Beyonce introduced Tina Turner as "the queen" during the duo's Grammy performance.

We reckon this is a celeb storm in a teacup.
