Beyonce has opened her Formation world tour – without addressing the rumours of marital infidelity fuelled by her latest album.

Prior to the album’s release, Beyonce teased the mysterious, hour-long HBO special Lemonade with brief, thriller-like clips. “So she has never been a slave to the back of my hand because I didn’t believe in that”. If there are any new developments as to who is “Becky with the good hair”, we’ll update you.
Dropping her Lemonade album just four days before the concert, the Sorry singer’s fans still remained loyal, as she performed all of her new songs (plus some major throwbacks) to a sold out stadium.
In one song, Intuition, she says: “In the tradition of men in my blood, you come home at 3am and lie to me”. You don’t get any higher on the female food chain than being Beyonce, and if Jay Z is stupid enough to cheat on her then there’s no hope for anyone. You know I give you life.
Rumors of a relationship between Jay Z and Roy boiled over following the Met Ball Elevator Incident of 2014, in which Solange was seen on camera attacking Jay as Beyoncé stood idly by. Beyoncé suggests that Jay Z’s fame has created a situation where women constantly throw themselves at him.
Easily Lemonade’s most overt theme, the first half of the album concentrates on the range of emotions that result from learning about her husband’s betrayal (although when that occurred and who specifically was involved remain unknown). The album, released Saturday, is exclusively streaming on Tidal, where it can also be purchased for $17.99.

“It didn’t help matters that shortly after Lemonade premiered, Roy appeared to make a reference to the album on Instagram – writing “good hair, don’t care” and “#nodramaqueens” next to a picture of her and a friend.
