"Bey's fame obsessed, diva & control freak" - Bey's Ex
Quote:
My 10-year affair with Beyoncé, the teenage control freak: Pushed by a controlling father, singer's first love reveals how 'Bey' was already a diva by 13
Lyndall Locke dated the singer from when she was a 12-year-old wannabe
They split when she toured the world with Destiny's Child in her early 20s Locke said 'control freak Bey' was always fixated on the pursuit of fame
Her campaign was orchestrated by her father Mathew 'Big Mac' Knowles
But for one man, the outburst came as no surprise. Her first love, Lyndall Locke, who dated the singer for a decade from when she was a 12-year-old wannabe until they split when she toured the world with Destiny’s Child, said she had always been fixated on the pursuit of fame – and the ‘simple girl from Houston’ rapidly became a ‘control freak’.
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
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.’
‘I told her, “I wish we could have a normal life” and she said, “I don’t want a normal life. I’ve been waiting for this since I was a kid.” ’
Lyndall recalls the time he fell foul of Beyoncé’s fame ‘train’ was when he filled a cup with whisky in a limo taking Beyoncé to a Destiny’s Child concert in LA. ‘Mathew came up to me backstage and said, “That’s not cool. How do you think that makes Beyoncé look? If you don’t pull it together and get a real career she’ll be gone. Beyoncé needs to be with someone who has it going on.”’
I hate that he translated her ambitious spirit into being a "control freak" etc... if this were a man he would of been praising him left and right for his worth ethic. pfff

I mean!
Nothing here really to expose minus she was very dedicated & he was just a ****boy.
Props to her for not falling under his influence. There's nothing wrong to persuade your dream as long as you don't screw up those who are close to you.
