00:01Before there was Bey and Jay, there was a mystery man trying to win Beyoncé's heart at the same time.

00:09So who will she choose?

00:12Oh yeah, I guess we already know who she picked, but still, what's the story with this dude?

00:16So according to Tina Knowles' new memoir, Matriarch, she says that back when Jay-Z and Beyoncé were courting each other,

00:25Beyoncé was juggling another man on the side as well.

00:28Ooh, who was it?

00:29She doesn't say.

00:30And who could possibly even guess?

00:32I mean, if I had to guess, it'd be Mos Def.

00:35Okay, looks like he can.

00:37Mos Def?

00:38They did that Carmen movie and they were last linked before she got with Jay-Z.

00:43Right, because Beyoncé started a friendship with Jay-Z in 2001 when she was just 18.

00:48And according to Tina, a year later while she was shooting Austin Powers,

00:52both Jay-Z and this other mystery man Bey was seeing showed up on set to visit her.

00:57That's when she picked Jay-Z and the rest is history.

01:00Has she only ever been with Jay-Z?

01:02Publicly.

01:03But also explains-

01:04So much.

01:05Explains a lot now.

01:06What does that mean?

01:07Well, she stayed with him after all the cheating.

01:10We wouldn't have got lemonade or Becky with the good hair.

01:12It would have been so powerful if she left him.

01:16No, but I think it showed her being more powerful because Jay-Z has been very contrite ever since.

01:20She redefined their relationship and kind of put him in his place.

01:23You think that was the first time, Eric?

01:25Please.

01:27That was rhetorical, Eric.

01:28She answered it.

01:30So thanks, mystery man.

01:32Love triangle.

01:33Goodbye!
