Rita Ora denies claims she had an affair with Jay-Z

Who is 'Becky with the good hair'?

Published 27th Apr 2016

Rita Ora has officially denied all claims she had an affair with Beyoncé’s husband Jay-Z.

Since Beyoncé released her surprise album, Lemonade, at the weekend rumours have been rife of who could be 'Becky with the good hair', the girl who is apparently guilty of sleeping with Jay-Z.

After Bey's fans figured it was Rita, the former X Factor judge received a heavy backlash on social media forcing her to speak out.

Rita took to Twitter to set the rumours straight claiming she has 'The upmost respect for Beyoncé'.

As the speculation was rife, the 'Hot Right Now' singer didn't help herself in the situation.

Just one day after Lemonade was released Rita took to Snapchat where she was seen wearing a bikini with lemons on it. Then the 25-year-old posted a snap of the Elizabeth Taylor film, Ash Wednesday, which portrays the story of a woman trying to save her marriage.

Despite this, Rita's representative's claim everything was just a coincidence. A source close to Rita said "Rita is absolutely mortified and really angry about the comments being made about her.

"She has received a lot of online abuse and it's completely unfounded."

This isn't the first time Rita has been forced to deny claims. Back in 2014 the singer rubbished rumours she had slept with her former manager, angrily saying "Don't you dare disrespect Beyoncé like that ever again in your entire life."

Despite the claims, fans of Beyoncé are still unsure of the identity of controversial 'Becky'.

When the video for Beyoncé’s track 'Sorry’ landed, fans were quick to notice the lyrics ''Looking at my watch, he shoulda been home. Today I regret the night I put that ring on it. He only want me when I'm not there."

The 35-year-old then talks about the identity of the girl singing 'He better call Becky with the good hair'.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z married in 2008 and share four-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, together. The pair were rocked by rumours in 2014 which reportedly nearly ended their marriage but now it seems the pair are back on track and are reportedly 'stronger than ever'.

Beyoncé’s sixth studio album, Lemonade is available on Tidal now.
