Rita Ora denies being the Becky Beyonce called out
Rita Ora denies being the Becky Beyonce called out in ‘Lemonade’
Singer Rita Ora has addressed widespread speculation that she’s none other than the infamous Becky, a.k.a. “Becky with the good hair,” who makes an appearance in Beyoncé’s new song “Sorry” — and who apparently had an affair with Bey’s husband, Jay Z.
Why the speculation? Blame Snapchat, where Ora’s shown off outfits that seem explicitly intended to tease the general public into thinking she is the side chick in question. (At least, according to some Becky theorists.)
When will people learn to stop teasing the BeyHive?
First, Ora Snapped a picture of herself wearing a bra with lemons on it and a necklace that appeared to have a pendant in the shape of the letter J. (In fact, it’s the letter “r,” seen in reverse due to selfie mirroring.)
The picture went out before Lemonade‘s release — and before “Becky” was on everyone’s minds and Rita Ora denies it.
