In the wake of Beyonce’s Lemonade HBO Special that premiered this past Saturday (April 23), the question on everyone’s mind is, “Who is Becky?” While widely believed that the lyric referenced celebrity chef Rachel Roy, but Rita Ora is now fueling rumors with an identical Gucci outfit to one Beyonce wore as well as a post of a lemon bra on Instagram.
While Roy already shot down rumors earlier today that she had previously been Jay Z’s mistress, it appears the Beyhive has moved on to a new suspect. The rumors were started today by a by the photo posted to Instagram of the British singer donning a lemon-embroidered bra and what fans suspected was a “J” necklace. In reality, it was actually an “R” turned the other way. Something this simple sent fans into a frenzy that Ora was the real mistress referred to in Beyonce’s song “Sorry.”
Another circumstance that ignited suspicions was that Ora had filed a lawsuit against Jay-Z’s record label Roc Nation for not supporting her as an artist. Ora also didn’t help the rumors by donning the same Gucci skirt and blouse that Beyonce had worn in the recent video for “Formation.” But seemingly, the rumors have gotten a little out of hand and Ora herself took to Twitter earlier today to refute them.
Roy also gave an interview to People today where she said, “There is no validity to the idea that the song references me personally. There is no truth to the rumors. Consequently, online haters have targeted me and my daughters in a hurtful and scary manner, including physical threats. As a mother - and I know many mothers would agree - I feel that bullying in any form is harmful and unacceptable. I would hope that the media address the real issue here - the issue of cyber bullying and how it should not be tolerated by anyone.”
