RITA Ora
RITA Ora has pushed herself into the spotlight for Beyoncé fans recently, after the singer dropped her latest album, Lemonade, over the weekend.
The Beyhive have been relentlessly searching for “Becky with the good hair” since Lemonade was released on Sunday, and came to the conclusion that the X Factor judge is the woman in question.
However, Rita has taken to Twitter to dismiss the cheating rumours, and said: “I never usually address tabloid gossip but let me be clear, these rumours are false.
“I have nothing but the upmost respect for Beyonce. Let’s continue enjoying Lemonade. (sic)”
The Hot Right Now singer was first stung by the Beyhive after sharing a picture of her wearing a sheer bra with lemon’s covering her nipples.
Rita was then spotted out in West Hollywood wearing the red printed Gucci outfit that Beyoncé donned for the Formation video – sending the Hive into overdrive.
Just in case that wasn’t considered enough damage to the fanbase, Rita then paid tribute to Elizabeth Taylor’s 1973 movie Ash Wednesday by sharing the movie poster to her Instagram account.
The film shows the desperate attempts of a 55-year-old woman trying to save her failing marriage by getting full-body plastic surgery to tempt her straying husband back to her.
Beyoncé speaks about changing herself to keep her husband interested in the visual album for Lemonade, so the post was just what was needed to send her fanbase over the edge.
The Beyhive were convinced the post came as a dig to the “Becky” drama, and that Rita was mocking the lyrics of the album.
Fans took to Instagram to post lemon and bee emoji’s in the comment section of the picture – a definite sign that the Beyhive have noticed the post and are NOT impressed.
It appears Rita quickly regretted sharing the provocative poster as she has since deleted the snap from her account.
