Amy Winehouse’s father, Mitch Winehouse, has been very vocal about his daughter after her passing. His latest public commentary on matters close to the “Rehab” singer have to do with Beyonce and Andre 3000’s cover of her song “Back to Black.”
Mitch disses the Outkast singer when it comes to his part in the song for The Great Gatsby soundtrack, saying Beyonce should’ve been the only one on the track.
He wrote:
I just heard the Andre part of Back to Black. Terrible. He should have let Beyonce do it all. Mitch

According to The Wrap, this isn’t the first time that Mitch has spoken out about the song.
“They have got to pay for the privilege, which is what they are doing,” he said. “I can’t tell you how much it is but it’s a lot of money."
Beyonce’s husband, Jay-Z, is responsible for the soundtrack to the upcoming Leonardo DiCaprio-starring Great Gatsby, so it was a natural fit for her to be featured on the song.
Mark Ronson, who was friends with Winehouse, produced the song and debuted it this past weekend.
