Belyuk belonged to the burj-oglu family. There are no information about his parents. The first mention of Belyuk dates back to 1162. At the same time, in 1163, he made an alliance with Ryurik Rostislavich, the future Grand Prince of Kiev. In the same year, she gave her daughter married to Svyatoslav Vsevolodovich, Prince of Chernihiv.

In 1167 or 1168 Yaroslav Vsevolodovicattacked Belyuk's nomads. In this campaign, Yaroslav captured Belyuk's wife and children. In response, Belyuk participated, along with other Polovtsian khans, in blocking Zalozny, Salt and Greek routes.
