It's the end of an era.
Music mogul Mathew Knowles sells Music World Entertainment...
....to embark on a new career in filmmaking.
From Deadline
Mathew Knowles, father of Beyoncé and former manager of Destiny’s Child, is gearing up for his own King Richard-style origin story as part of a wide-ranging deal with investment fund APX Capital Group.
The media fund has acquired Knowles’ Music World Entertainment Group and will merge its film and TV division within APX Capital Group. Knowles will manage this new division, which will be responsible for a €250M (US$275M) fund for film and TV co-productions between the U.S. and Italy.
One of the first projects that is set to come out of the deal is The Mathew Knowles Story, which will trace his story of how he helped his daughters become the global superstars that they are today and how he managed both Destiny’s Child and the solo careers of Beyoncé and Solange as well as Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland.
As part of the deal, the company will own 10,000 hours of footage depicting the history of the Knowles family in the music industry through never-before-seen images, videos and music.
He will also develop, finance and produce a range of diverse content across feature films, scripted series and documentaries. Knowles will exec produce alongside Baram, Wiesenthal, and Pelliccia.

He want the bread by any means necessary
Can he not retire to a nice spot and chill
This is the father that created Beyonce, Jay Z came along and hustled the daughter away from the father. OK, got it. All the best to this guy!
He needs the $$$, he has other kids to support TWO babies under 10 as a mater of fact. pitiful
He runs through money like water.
His entertainment company wasn't worth the dirt under my toenails. He didn't have artist on the label making money.
Does he have rights to sell DC name and music? I hope he ran this by B before trying to pull this fake film business off.
This will be a fabricated tail to make him and her look good in the public eye.
Spill the real TEA MK.
@ 6:53pm is that you Taqoya #DEAD
