Becoming Beyoncé: The Untold Story

Product Information

As one labors through the story, it becomes increasingly clear that Taraborrelli included all of the musical chairs and legal messes to prove a central point: Mathew was relentless in his pursuit to make his daughter a star, and, even as a tween, Beyoncé was determined to achieve the same goal, and neither of them blinked, even if it meant burning through a rotating cast of amateur managers and disposable girl group members. Its mission was to ignite a love of reading and a love of self in Black kids, and we're continuing that with our branded LGB program.

Thank you very much for writing this book and putting so much effort into gathering all these details! Even as the story moves into the big time—the Grammys, “Bootylicious,” meeting Jay Z— Becoming Beyoncé focuses on the infighting: original Destiny’s Child members LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson (and their replacement, Farrah Franklin) breaking from the group, and later suing, alleging that they weren’t paid or prioritized the way Beyoncé was. The book follows Dana, an African-American woman who, following her 26 th birthday, is pulled back in time to antebellum Maryland, where she encounters her ancestors and becomes embroiled in life on the plantation.

Strutting and sashaying in Valentino leopard-print catsuits and her signature thigh-high boots, Queen B is more than just a glamour puss extraordinaire. It was an interesting read for a fan that couldn't really remember her Destiny's Child days but I don't think I'll be reading it again any time soon. Theirs are just a few of the many lawsuits that populate the book—former manager Tillman’s family sues, along with AlexSandra Wright, the mother of Mathew’s son by an extramarital affair, who speaks for the first time.
