The former manager of "Destiny's Child" took to the bird app to celebrate his daughter's mind-blowing achievement while also reminiscing on her humble beginnings.

Although there were speculations that the pair's relationship declined after Beyoncé fired Knowles from being her manager, the "Cuff It" singer clarified that she and her father only parted ways on a business level and that she still loved him dearly.
