Since Beyoncé dropped Lemonade Saturday night, one question has been on the mind of millions: Who is “Becky with the good hair”? Though many on the internet are convinced she’s either Rachel Roy or Rita Ora, both women have denied the allegations on social media. And if Becky’s not them, could she be... you?
To say nothing of its artistic merits, Beyoncé’s Lemonade album/visual album/film is a feat of collaboration, organization, and execution. The budget for the project is estimated to have been about $1.35 million, but when you look at the credits for the album, that almost feels low.
In the continuing fallout from Beyoncé’s Lemonade, Rita Ora, who has seemed at times Team Jay, then Team Bey, has released a set of Twitter statements suggesting that she, like Rachel Roy before her, is not “Becky with the Good Hair.”
Rachel Roy, the designer accused of having an affair with Jay Z, fully denies being romantically linked to him in any way.

Beyoncé’s new visual album is filled with not just tons of tea and stunning shots, but also a plethora of cameos. Here’s a quick guide to all the faces, big and small, that you need to know.
Speculation abounds that Beyoncé’s Lemonade opus is about a cheating Jay Z, and part of it is because Jay Z has built quite the rumored reputation for that over the years. One person who has spoken directly to that is Carmen Bryan, ex-girlfriend of Nas and supposed catalyst for the legendary Jay/Nas beef that…
In addition to being a creative tour de force, Beyoncé’s new visual album, Lemonade is notable for essentially being an extended narrative about her husband Jay Z cheating on her. The album begins with vague references to “whispers,” but things become very clear very soon. Very clear as in Beyoncé asks “Are you…
Reading The Bluest Eye last year, for the third or fourth time, I saw the world through Pecola and her family again. And I felt their ugliness. I stopped on a passage and it froze me like it always does: “It was as though some mysterious all-knowing master had given each one a cloak of ugliness to wear, and they had…
If you planned on seeing fashion designer and occasional social media user Rachel Roy during Monday night’s “Mastering Your Métier” seminar, I have the unfortunate task of relaying some bad news: something suddenly came up, so she canceled.
Did you listen to Beyonce’s hottest new record? Maybe watch her hour-long short film? If you have, then it’s very like because you signed up for Tidal. Which begs the question: is Tidal starting to actually win?
A silly news anchor who criticized Beyoncé’s Black Panther-inspired Super Bowl half-time show earlier this year now claims Beyoncé’s team reached out to request video rights for use in the upcoming Formation tour.
Following the recent controversy surrounding Rachel Roy’s possible romantic link to rapper Jay Z, the fashion designer has seemingly spoken out against accusations made by fans, as well as the backlash the Roy has since received on social media.
After the release of Beyoncé’s sixth studio album Lemonade, we can say we have all now learned this: hell hath no fury like Beyoncé, but hell also hath no fury like Becky with the good hair—especially if you’re fashion designer Rachel Roy, and especially if you made a quasi-confession on social media about once having…
Hello, perhaps you have noticed that Beyoncé is debuting a... something on HBO this evening. Is it an album? Is it a documentary? Is it a narrative film, or all three?

The Beyoncé extravaganza on Saturday—whatever it is!—will be free for all. No need to perform an extremely shameful favor for some free HBO or mooch off a friend’s subscription.
DJ Khaled—living proof that Instagram is the key to everything—will be opening for Beyoncé on her upcoming Formation Tour. Very high 🔑, WE THE BEST, etc etc.
A word of warning to anyone foolhardy enough to experiment with a line of athleisure that in theory was constructed around the idea of making you feel more like Beyoncé but in practice obviously dramatically expands the already significant difference between “you” and “feeling like Beyoncé”—the Ivy Park sizing is a…
Kanye West, Jay Z and Tidal have been hit with a class-action lawsuit, claiming they all hoodwinked fans through West’s statement that The Life of Pablo would only ever be available on the platform. That proved to be untrue: TLOP is now on Apple, Spotify and Google Play, and the lawsuit is coming after Tidal and West…
