Did Rachel Roy really just go there?!?
On Saturday night, Beyonce nearly broke the Internet and the television universe simultaneously when she debuted a special on HBO titled “Lemonade.”
It was essentially a visual album of her new record, which goes by the same name.
And which is now available to purchase on Tidal.
On the track “Apathy,” Beyonce appears to address long-gestating rumors of Jay Z cheating on her, opening the song with the following spoken words:
So what are you gonna say at my funeral now that you’ve killed me? Here lies the body of the love of my life whose heart I broke without a gun to my head.
Here lies the mother of my children both living and dead. Rest in peace my true love, who I took for granted. Most bomb pussy, who because of me sleep evaded.
Her shroud is loneliness, her god was listening. Her heaven will be a love without betrayal.
Ashes to ashes, dust to side chicks.
Beyonce is then joined by a slew of gorgeous black women – including a twerking Serena Williams – prior to dropping a mysterious clue regarding the identity of the other woman:
“He better call Becky with the good hair.”
Following along so far?
Hours after Lemonade aired, Rachel Roy shared a photo of herself along with the following caption:
“Good hair don’t care, but we will take good lighting, for selfies, or self truths, always. live in the light #nodramaqueens.”
Check it out here:
Roy is either confirming Beyonce’s accusations that she was Jay Z’s mistress… or she’s daring to simply troll the Queen Bey.
Roy, a fashion designer, is the ex-wife of Jay Z’s former business partner, Damon Dash.
According to various outlets, she was actually the basis for the Solange-Jay Z Elevator Shove Seen ‘Round the World in May of 2014, with sources alleging that Solange was sticking up for her sister.
She believed at the time that Jay Z was far too close and comfortable with Roy.
Neither Beyonce nor Jay Z has addressed this rumor directly — and we highly doubt they will.
Beyonce did close her HBO special with photos of her family, implying that all is good at home these days.
But members of the Beyhive have already spoken.
Look at the way someone hacked Roy’s Wikipedia page soon after the above Instagram message went out. Note how Rachel Roy has supposedly “Died.”
We love it.
