ollowing the release of Beyoncé's latest album, Lemonade, in which she slammed her lover for being unfaithful with a woman she referred to as "Becky with the good hair" in one of the tracks, speculation has arisen among her fans regarding Becky's real identity.
One theory suggests Becky was actually fashion designer Rachel Roy, especially after she posted a photo on Instagram captioned “Good hair don’t care, but we will take good lighting, for selfies, or self truths, always. Live in the light #nodramaqueens.” shortly after the premiere of Lemonade, which was quickly slammed by the BeyHives -- the account is now protected.
Beyoncé's fans are apparently unstoppable since some have gone after the wrong Rachel, as in the similarly named celebrity chef Rachael Ray. Vulture.com reported how the BeyHives left angry tweets and silly comments on her Instagram account.
“I bet that’s exactly what you were whipping up in Jay Z’s kitchen while Beyonce was out performing,” a user commented on Ray’s photo of Tournedos Pizzaiola served on warm and crusty ciabatta bread.
Another BeyHive said: “You’ve been cooking up them 30 minute meals behind the Queen’s back, huh?!” on Ray’s photo of Artichoke Burgers with Tarragon special sauce.
Fortunately, the fans later realized their mistake and apologized. However, as Roy's Instagram account was locked, they attacked Roy’s daughter, Ava Dash, on Instagram instead.
Amid all the chaos, Roy tweeted, “I respect love, marriage, families, and strength. What shouldn’t be tolerated by anyone, no matter what, is bullying, of any kind.”, which has been retweeted over 2,220 times. (kes)
