Mathew Knowles Fires Back at Aretha Franklin

Yesterday we reported that Aretha Franklin was sorta pissed that Beyonce called Tina Turner the queen.

Now, Beyonce's father, Mathew Knowles is firing back at Aretha to defend his daughter over her comment.

"Something this ridiculous – it's childish, it's unprofessional," Mathew Knowles said in a statement. "And it's a sad day when egos get bruise because somebody used the word king, queen, prince or princess."

Come on guys, all Aretha wants is a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T!
