It's day 5 of Becky-With-The-Good-Hair-Gate, and it's already been established that it's not Rachel Roy (or Rachel Ray) via her statement, and now Rita Ora has followed suit.
Rumours were rumbling yesterday that 'Becky' may have been the singer given her tempestuous relationship with Jay Z, coupled with the fact that she recently Snapchatted a pic of herself sporting a Lemon bikini alongside a gold 'J' chain. Now the 25-year-old has addressed the masses with the below tweets...
I never usually address tabloid gossip but let me be clear, these rumours are false.

I have nothing but the utmost respect for Beyonce. Let’s continue enjoying Lemonade.

She then stepped out for a jaunt sporting pretty much the exact same outfit Beyonce wore in her 'Formation' video, because the Beyhive were bound to appreciate that.

Meanwhile, the man who once said that his daughter and Jay Z readily court controversy to sell concert tickets - that being father and former manager Matthew Knowles - has also felt compelled to defend himself in the wake of Lemonade's release - particularly the track Daddy Lessons. Beyonce speaks the following lines from Somali-British poet Warsan Shire: “Did he convince you that he was God?... Are you a slave to the back of his hand? Am I talking about your husband or your father?"
During an interview on Sirius XM show Make It Plain, Knowles said: "“I can say I have never in my life hit my daughter," Mathew said. “So she has never been a slave to the back of my hand because I didn't believe in that."
As for what the album is about (in other words, WHO'S BECKY?!), he's also in the dark: "There's no way we can get into the mind of Beyoncé. Only Beyoncé can answer specifically who she was talking to... I would rather not get into speculation. My answer is I don't know. I can say I have never in my life hit my daughter," Mathew said. “So she has never been a slave to the back of my hand because I didn't believe in that."
