Beyonce’s Ex-Boyfriend Talks Dating The Star In Her Teens

Even more revelations about Beyonce’s past are hitting the media. It was just recently revealed that Jay and Bey split for a year after a desperate publicist created a rumor about Jay Z and Rihanna dating behind her back.

Now, Beyonce’s first boyfriend, Lyndall Locke, is stepping forward to reveal how focused on fame and meticulous Bey was even as a young girl — so determined to become a superstar that she became a teenage “control freak.” Via MailOnline:

‘She was focused and knew what she wanted,’ he says. ‘She’d started singing when she was five and her parents supported her. There was a Beyoncé train on the fast track to fame and you were either on it or off it. Some people fell off the train and others jumped.’

Mathew ‘Big Mac’ Knowles was the mastermind of ‘Project Beyoncé’, as it was known in the family. ‘Let me tell you, there was no messing with Big Mac. He gave me the third degree about who I was and what my intentions were,’ says Lyndall. ‘He gave me the talk about “not messing anything up.” ’ Lyndall says he understood this to mean not to get Beyoncé pregnant. ‘We shared our first kiss at a Brian McKnight concert when Bey was 13. She was a little southern belle. She was an awesome kisser. We would hang out and do normal boyfriend-girlfriend things, although I was never allowed to stay over.’

‘We were together for ten years. I saw the changes in her. She needed someone like Jay Z to take her to the next level. There’s no hard feelings,’ he says with a shrug.

Lyndall says that Beyonce was laser-focused and shaped all her teenage decisions around prepping for stardom. Not only did she let her quest for fame deter her from falling into drugs and alcohol…but she stayed away from ANYTHING she thought could potentially hurt her image in the long run.

Lyndall says he experimented with marijuana and alcohol but his girlfriend was never tempted. ‘Beyoncé told me she would never smoke or drink because that would hurt her voice. She was a control freak.’

In one incident, Beyoncé fled the scene of a minor car accident because she feared it would be ‘bad’ for her image.. even though she was years away from becoming famous.

She was 16 and Lyndall was driving Beyoncé and her cousin Angie to the beach in a five-car convoy of friends. ‘A car suddenly pulled in front of me, crossed to the side of the road then flipped and fell right off the highway.’

Lyndall screeched to a halt and raced down the embankment to check on the occupants of the other car (who were unharmed).

When he returned, Beyoncé and Angie had driven off. ‘When I finally got a lift home I was furious. Beyoncé told me, “I can’t be around a mess like that. I have to think smart and staying there would not have been smart.” ’

Interesting. This is even more fallout from that unauthorized biography on Beyonce that’s on the way. We can probably expect to hear interviews and perspectives from everyone who ever spent ten minutes around Bey in the coming weeks…
