Roc Nation’s Rita Ora has officially turned down any hope of being the mysterious “Becky” fellow R&B singer Beyoncé Knowles-Carter referenced on her new Lemonade album last month.
Rita posted up a picture alongside Queen Bey at last night’s Met Gala in New York City onto social media.
Last week, Rita publicly spoke out on being named Bey’s mysterious “Becky” on Twitter.
Celebrity designer Rachel Roy came forward to address her alleged identity as Bey’s “Becky” via a statement last week.
“I want to put the speculation and rumors to rest. My Instagram post was meant to be fun and lighthearted, it was misunderstood as something other than that. There is no validity to the idea that the song references me personally. There is no truth to the rumors. Consequently, online haters have targeted me and my daughters in a hurtful and scary manner, including physical threats. As a mother – and I know many mothers would agree – I feel that bullying in any form is harmful and unacceptable. I would hope that the media sees the real issue here – the issue of cyber bullying – and how it should not be tolerated by anyone.” (People)
Last week reports claimed Rita Ora may have been the inspiration behind Bey’s “Becky” line.
Ora was quickly stung when she took to Snapchat over the weekend with a sexy selfie, loaded with what fans took as evidence of her being a side chick. The 25-year-old donned a lemon-themed bra and further sparked rumors by wearing a gold ‘J’ pendant necklace. She upped the ante Monday, stepping out in West Hollywood wearing a carbon copy of the red Gucci blouse-skirt combo Beyoncé wore in her “Formation” video. (NY Daily News)
