She told her recording team: "Don't tell my daddy. Don't tell my mama. Don't tell anybody.

"So two weeks later I called my dad and said, 'My record's done.' He was, like, 'What?'."

Beyonce, 24, said she often clashed with her father in the early days of her band Destiny's Child.

In an interview with Giant magazine, Beyoncé Knowles says "When I turned 18 and started handling my business more, he went into shock. And we had our issues."

"It took awhile for me and my dad to have an understanding,"

"I'd say 'No' to something, and he'd book it anyway. Then I'd have to do it because I'd look bad (if I didn't)."

Admitting she and her father "would fight sometimes," the singer says that it "took about two years, to when I was 20, for him to realize, 'Oh, she is an adult now, and if she doesn't wanna do something, I can't make her do it.' "

Knowles, also comments about their relationship, saying, "It's very easy. He's so quick. And we respect each other. If I have any suggestions he respects it. If he has any suggestions, I respect it. It's just, I don't know, easy. And fun."

Knowles will release B'day – her first solo album since her multi-platinum 2003 solo debut, Dangerously In Love – on her 25th birthday, Sept. 4 reports People Magazine
