Beyonce’s Ex-Boyfriend Must Be Looking For A Reality Show
From Drew Reports:
Beyonce’s longtime childhood ex-boyfriend Lyndall spoke to The UK Sun recently about their past relationship and how he came to lose her as the years went on. Aside from the fact that he cheated on her, Lyndall spoke to The Sun about how they agreed to take a break so that he could go to culinary school, but she eventually wound up moving on with her life with Jay Z by her side. Lyndall currently works as a chef in Houston now, and stated that he still loves Beyonce and believes that she too, still loves him.
Check out the interview he had with The Sun below:
On their relationship back then:
“Beyonce was the love of my life and I was hers, so losing her is still my biggest regret. She would say to me all the time, ‘I’m afraid to ever live my life without you Lyndall, I want you to be mine for ever’.On meeting Beyonce through Kelly Rowland when he was 13 and she was 11:
“From the first time I saw Beyonce I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. She looked like an angel, the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen. We’d hang out after school and almost every night we’d fall asleep talking to each other on the phone.”On their first kiss:
“It was just after Beyonce’s 15th birthday. I surprised her with Brian McKnight concert tickets and it happened that night. I had got popcorn and as we were sitting in our seats I dropped it. As we both went down to grab it we bumped heads, and locked into our first kiss.
We both just looked at each other realizing there was this incredible spark of fireworks between us. That was the first feeling of true love between me and Beyonce.

@Yung_Gleesh – Dummy Mag Interview
Frances Capell did a great interview with Yung Gleesh while he was up in New York City recently;
By his late teens, Gleesh had already achieved local celebrity status playing percussion in the GoGo group TOB, which is commemorated by a tattoo on his right bicep. “Do you know how big that was? That was our Hollywood,” he says. “If you was in the band, you was Jay-Z and them.” In those days, Gleesh was known as Boogie, a more laid-back version of the self-described “shitbag” he later became. “With Boogie, I just smoked weed, minded my business, didn’t say too much,” he says. “After Boogie, I started hustling and making money. You would think Gleesh would be my most chill phase. No, that was my most ratchet, shitbag phase.” He pulls down his ski mask so only his almond-shaped eyes are visible. “When I ain’t got nothing and ain’t nobody doing nothing for me, I’m shitbag shawty and I’m coming for your ass.”

You’ve been fortunate to be around veterans like T.I. at Grand Hustle Records and Nas, who you toured with. What are the greatest lessons they’ve taught you?
Nas encourages me to take risks. He’s made me be less afraid and even more unapologetic. Even with “Bounce,” I was like, “It’s a pop record. I don’t know.” He was like, “Just fucking do it. It’s something different. It’s one song, what’s the big deal?” I couldn’t believe Nas was telling me to do a hip-pop record. The thing that I learned from both of them is to be unaffected by everything. There were a lot of sad days in that studio, and T.I. would be like, “Look, shawty…” and give me a spiel about how he went to prison and if something’s not going to send you to prison or kill you, you shouldn’t worry about it. Career-wise, I used to compete with certain other people I had issues with. He sat me down and said, “You run your own race, like you’re a horse and you have blinders on. Don’t look at who’s on either side of you or who’s coming up.” That’s helped me a lot because even last year a lot of people would have chalked me up and said I was a wrap. I sometimes feel like I’m the turtle and other people are the hare. They win their race and finish or burn out and I just slowly run my own race. It works out in the end.
