On Saturday, Beyoncé dropped her sixth studio album, Lemonade, on Tidal which was accompanied by her HBO special also titled Lemonade. I heard it was straight fire reminding me to stop listening in on the conversations of high school kids.
One of the songs on the album is called Sorry. A lot people think it’s about Jay Z and his propensity for banging chicks not named Beyoncé. One line in particular got people stirred up like a pack of drama-hungry dogs. Near the end, Beyoncé sings, “He only want me when I’m not there / He better call Becky with the good hair.”
People speculated that Becky was designer Rachel Roy. In a Gram posted after the song dropped, she may have confirmed it?
That was enough for people to polish those pitchforks and go on social media to defend this woman they never met. Problem was, their reading comprehension is on a first grade level so they confused Rachel Roy with the famous reality tv chef Rachael Ray. This was not a good look for Rachael Ray’s social media accounts.

As for if Becky is actually Rachel Roy? Maybe. Hollywood Life says she’s the reason Solange went off on Jay Z in that elevator a couple years ago. But, Roy is denying it and telling everyone to quit being so mean because, as you know, this is the most effective way to get bullies to stop picking on you.
Update: Yea, I don’t know how to spell her first name either.
