'Good hair don't care': Beyonce goaded by 'the other woman' after Lemonade's cheating lyrics go viral
Beyonce just dropped another surprise new album, and Lemonade is already living up to the bitter in its title.
Fashion designer Rachel Roy has posted an Instagram message suggesting that she's "Becky", the other woman in the Lemonade highlight 'Sorry', one of the most talked about new songs.
In the track, which debuted on Beyonce's April 23 HBO special Lemonade, the 34-year-old sings: "Middle fingers up, put them hands high. Wave it in his face, tell him, boy, bye…I ain't thinking 'bout you!"
At the end, she sings the line that quickly went viral: "You better call Becky with the good hair."
As Queen Bey fans snatched up the album, which dropped at the end of the HBO mini-movie, everyone wondered about this so-called "Becky". Who was she? And did Beyonce's husband Jay Z, 46, actually cheat on his wife with this mystery lady?
Enter Rachel Roy, 42. She posted a picture on Instagram, captioning it: "Good hair don't care, but we will take good lighting, for selfies, or self truths, always. Live in the light #nodramaqueens."

Ooh, the plot thickens. And this one goes way back to Jay Z's infamous elevator fight with Beyonce's sister Solange Knowles, 29, in 2014.
The source of that smackdown has always been rumoured to have been Jay Z's alleged infidelity. Now speculation about that not-forgotten incident has focused on Rachel, who seems to be paying for her Instagram dig, if not her alleged love crimes.
Beyonce's fanbase quickly came to the superstar's defence, attacking Rachel on social media and hacking her Wikipedia page.
She has since deleted the offending post and made her Instagram account private. Now her 16-year-old daughter Ava Dash is fielding the nasty comments on her own Instagram account.
Despite distancing herself from her original Instagram post, Rachel stayed in the thick of the controversy, defending herself to her 418k Twitter followers rather than moving on:
As for Beyonce, if her art is imitating her life, then things with Jay Z might be more complicated than they've let on.
In Lemonade's spoken-word intro, Beyonce makes a cryptic but telling declaration:
"So what are you gonna say at my funeral now that you've killed me?…Her heaven will be a love without betrayal. Ashes to ashes, dust to side chicks."
