The singer found herself in the firing line after Beyonce made a cryptic reference to “Becky with the good hair” on her new album Lemonade, sparking speculation that her hubby Jay may have cheated.

Whether the tune is autobiographical or not is up for debate, but that hasn’t stopped the Internet from trying to piece together who the lyric is referencing.
“I want to put the speculation and rumors to rest. There is no truth to the rumors”.
Per Variety (the magazine, not the category), the 27-hour window to stream Lemonade on HBO will make the album eligible for Emmy consideration, even as the special now resides for purchase on iTunes, or streaming over Jay Z’s Tidal platform.
Beyonce hit headlines on Saturday (23Apr16) when she released her visual album Lemonade, and in a song titled Sorry, she called out “Becky with the good hair”. Many people believe those lyrics are directed at Jay Z and Rachel Roy, a woman he was rumored to have had an affair with back in 2014. Sure, it can be argued that it’s just a coincidence, but I think we’re all smarter than that. “What shouldn’t be tolerated by anyone, no matter what, is bullying, of any kind”.
The “I Will Never Let You Down” hitmaker took to Twitter to insist she has “nothing but the utmost respect for Beyoncé” after she was romantically linked to the “Empire State of Mind” rapper.
One saw her don a skimpy outfit with the bikini with a lemon print hiding her modesty.
Needless to say, Beyonce fans took it personally and went after Ora, who is also an actress who will next be seen in the “50 Shades of Grey” sequel.
