Beyonce Knowles has a confession — she was a chubby youngster.

The Crazy in Love singer admits she was once so overweight during her formative years, that she often needed four people to help her zip up her jeans.

“When I was around 10 or 11 my mother gave me this really ugly haircut and I was really chubby,” the former Destiny’s Child star told Glamour magazine.

“So chubby that my family used to all lie me down flat so that they could zip up my jeans. It would take four of them and I would lie there on the bed while they all got to work on it.”

Beyonce, 27, recently described herself as a “gangster” when it comes to business.

I am a professional person so I don’t really get too gangster,” she said. “But I am a businesswoman and I can get quite gangster. When I have to, in my own way, I can turn on that mean gangster side of me.”
