Ottoman governor, formerly a pop star (7)
I believe the answer is:
beyonce
'a pop star' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'ottoman governor formerly' is the wordplay.
'ottoman governor' becomes 'bey' (I've seen this in another clue).
'formerly' becomes 'once' (synonyms).
'bey'+'once'='BEYONCE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for beyonce that I've seen is " Destiny's Child".)
