Her fans worried lyrics to her Lemonade track Daddy Lessons implied she'd been beaten by her father when she was young. But Mathew Knowles vehemently denied any suggestion his famous daughter Beyonce had ever felt 'the back of his hand.' And clearly all is well between the two as, on Wednesday, the pop superstar's mom Tina posted a photo on Instagram showing father and daughter sharing a hug and a smile backstage at Beyonce's Formation concert in Houston, Texas.

Ciara and Future’s ongoing legal drama continues. On Monday (May 16), a Los Angeles judge sided with the “Jumpman” rapper, granting joint custody of the former couple’s two-year-old son, baby Future.
CiCi lost her fight for sole custody while reportedly claiming that her ex is a bad person, according to TMZ. The report also claims that California courts, in general, favor joint custody. The legal issues continue for the exes, however. Earlier this year, Ciara filed a $15 million defamation lawsuit against Future and last month, he countersued.
On his end, Future has been crafting several projects, including EVOL and Purple Reign, which dropped earlier this year. Meanwhile, Ciara recently signed a deal with IMG Models and is set to host the Billboard Music Awards with Ludacris this Sunday (May 22).

Angie is described as being a “type-a personality interior designer with control issues,” who did one spontaneous thing in life- fell in love with Marlon. The two eventually separate and Angie finds herself having to raise three children- the two she had and the one she divorced.
