Pop star Beyonce has reportedly sacked her general manager and taken charge of her career.
The 32-year-old 'Drunk In Love' hitmaker and Jay Z are now in total control of her career after ditching Live Nation executive Faisal Durrani, reported Daily Mirror.
"Jay has been heavily involved in Beyonce's career for years, and was instrumental in organising the 'Mrs Carter Show' World Tour. But he isn't officially regarded as her manager - she really is independent," a source said.
The change is to make sure her career is handled with her family in mind, and with the couple reportedly keen to give their two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy a sibling in the future.
"Now the couple have Blue, she wants to make sure her family come first at all times, especially as there's talk of them adding to the brood.
"The best way to do that is to make sure all managerial decisions are made by her and her husband - together," the source added.
