After a week-long quest to discover the true identity of Jay Z’s mistress, now known simply as “Becky with the good hair,” former video vixen Karrine Steffans is now claiming the title.
In fact, she seemingly made it clear in an article she wrote for xoJane, titled simply, “I Am Becky With the Good Hair.”
Doesn’t get much more straightforward than that.
But as you begin to read the piece, it becomes apparent that Steffans and the site employed an eyeball-popping headline that they knew would gain the attention of the Beyhive (and everyone else, for that matter).
Steffans admits to having a fling with Jay Z, but it was long before he ever became involved with Beyonce.
“Over 15 years ago, I had Beyoncé’s husband,” she wrote.
“Yes, I was one of Jay Z’s Beckys back in the year 2000 for about three minutes, which is about as long it takes me to satisfy a man in the back of a Maybach while overlooking the beaches of Malibu,” she continued.
Oh, whatever, girl.
When Beyonce dropped “Lemonade,” her album containing the song with the now-ubiquitous “Becky” lyric, she was referring to someone her husband cheated on her with.
It’s what got Beyonce fans all riled up and on the attack, targeting a number of suspects including Rachel Roy, Rita Ora, Rachel Ray and a number of others.
The media followed the swarm around, placing “Becky” at the center of celebrity coverage all week.
So when a little known model-turned-writer suddenly drops an article claiming to be the notorious Becky, she knew exactly what was going to happen.
She got the attention, as you can plainly see here, but there’s just one problem.
Nobody gives a crap who Jay Z slept with before Beyonce.
Steffans started her career appearing in more than 20 music videos, primarily from the hip hop genre.
She claims to have hooked up with Jay Z after appearing in his “Hey Papi” video, two years before he started dating Beyonce.
She has written a series of books based on her days as a video vixen, which we predict will increase in popularity after today.
