Rita Ora denies being the Becky Beyoncé called out in 'Lemonade'
Singer Rita Ora has addressed widespread speculation that she's none other than the infamous Becky, a.k.a. "Becky with the good hair," who makes an appearance in Beyoncé's new song "Sorry" -- and who apparently had an affair with Bey's husband, Jay Z.
Why the speculation? Blame Snapchat, where Ora's shown off outfits that seem explicitly intended to tease the general public into thinking she is the side chick in question. (At least, according to some Becky theorists.)
When will people learn to stop teasing the BeyHive?

First, Ora Snapped a picture of herself wearing a bra with lemons on it and a necklace that appeared to have a pendant in the shape of the letter J. (In fact, it's the letter "r," seen in reverse due to selfie mirroring.)
The picture went out before Lemonade's release -- and before "Becky" was on everyone's minds.
But then, on Monday, Ora took a selfie sporting the exact same Gucci outfit Bey wore in the "Formation" video.
Following a flurry of fan rage, Ora's denying the rumors, referring to the speculation about her relationship with Bey and Jay as "tabloid gossip."
