Beyonce splits from music adviser she worked with since she was 11

Beyonce has split from Teresa LaBarbera Whites, the music adviser she has worked with since the pop superstar was only 11 years old.

There is apparently no bad blood between the 37-year-old singer and her former collaborator, according to Showbiz411.

The website vaguely referred to 'tension' involving Steve Pamon, the new chief operating officer of Beyonce's Parkwood Entertainment.

Steve comes from JP Morgan Chase, with the result that his mindset is reportedly more attuned to corporate concerns than artistic ones.


In addition to Beyonce, Teresa also helped nurture a career comeback for Britney Spears and make Jessica Simpson a star.

Now a massively desired music adviser who has worked with such names as P!nk, she was a Columbia scout when she met then nine-year-old Beyonce.

She and the little girl's manager and father Michael Knowles were among the adults who propelled Beyonce to fame as part of the girl group Destiny's Child.
