Chatter from the social media world grew louder around Beyonce's Apathy piece, Sunday afternoon, when a suspect Rachel Roy released a tweet that has fans attuned to the Lemonade project coupling her words with an earlier posting that they hypothesize implicates the fashionista as the inspiration behind one of the song's lyrics.
The track, which is crafted as a spoken-word eulogy to a cheating lover with allusion to being taken for granted and mention of side chicks, goes on to leave a descriptive reference to the home breaker when in the song Sorry, Bey spouts: “he better call Becky with the good hair.” Within hours followers of Roy's Instagram page began to circulate a curious photo she put up of her chuckling with a friend, beside a caption that read "Good hair don't care, but we will take good lighting, for selfies, or self truth, always. Live in the light #nodramaqueens."
In the aftermath of a storm of speculation, attention to Roy drew all the more acute as the silky haired brunette seemed to acknowledge the lyrics (in citing 'marriage'), leading many to figure she was projecting when she tweeted: "I respect love, marriages, families and strength, what shouldn't be tolerated by anyone, no matter what, is bullying, of any kind."
Rumors that Jay-Z has cheated have circulated for some time. In fact, Lemonade wouldn't be the first time Bey herself has suggested that he fooled around, as her fans will remember footage from a 2014 concert in which she improvised a performance of her 2006 single, Resentment, to incorporate the lyrics: "I gotta look at her in her eyes and see she's had half of me." And Rachel Roy has history in the matter as word from insiders pointed to her cozy relationship with Jay as the source of sister Solange's beef, per her widely seen physical altercation with the rapper in 2014.
