Attention, everyone: We have official word from the Queen Bey herself that despite rumors to the contrary, Rita Ora is not “Becky with the good hair.”
All Hive members are to retract their stingers and cease their endless social media attacks against Ms. Ora immediately.
Both women attended the 2016 MET Gala last night, where they posed for the above selfie that was later posted on Snapchat by Ora.
In case anyone was unclear about the closeness of the Bey and Rita’s friendship, Ora slapped a big “Family” label on the pic.
In case you somehow missed it, Beyonce’s latest release, Lemonade, hinted that her husband, rapper Jay Z, was cheating on her with a woman cryptically referred to as “Becky with the good hair.”
Ora has previously denied the rumors via social media:
“I never usually address tabloid gossip but let me be clear, these rumours are false,” the British singer wrote on Twitter last week.
“I have nothing but the utmost respect for Beyonce. Let’s continue enjoying Lemonade.”
Rita attended last night’s Gala as a guest of fashion designer Vera Wang.
Tellingly, Bey rolled solo, her famous husband curiously not by her side on the red carpet.
Rachel Roy, a designer who’s also been accused of Beckying with Bey’s man was also not in attendance.
It’s not terribly surprising that the event might be a favorite of the Carters’.
It was at a 2014 MET Gala after-party that Beyonce’s sister, Solange Knowles, physically attacked Jay Z, thus giving rise to rumors that the rapper had been unfaithful to his wife.
If Jay and Roy had both attended last night, the drama might have been even more ridiculous than the clothing.
