Who is really Jay Z's 'secret mistress' beyonce accused him of after "Lemonad"

Beyonce appeared to be spelling the tea on 'cheating hubby Jay Z' to go and call 'Becky with the good hair'. The Sorry singer dropped the lyric bomb in her new visual album, Lemonade, at the weekend and the rumour mill has gone into overdrive after Bey seemed to confirm the star's rumoured fling behind her back. 

Beyonce centres around the issue of infidelity, detailing the story of a woman who has been played by her partner. It touches on all of the feels: suspicion, anger, and finally, forgiveness.

The star's beehive began buzzing like crazy after she sang the lyrics: "He only want me when I'm not on there / He better call Becky with the good hair" in the track Sorry.

Fans started speculating on the identity of Jay Z's rumoured mistress after YEARS of cheating rumours and there are plenty of women in the firing line.

Bey's mum, Tina Knowles, even hinted that her daughter had been through the mill and "come out on the other side" as she congratulated her on the release.

In a post on Instagram, she wrote: "B worked so hard on this project day and night! It was so important to her to offer something that would bring about healing and hope to the universe!

"No matter what you've gone thru in life you can always come out on the other side! (sic)."

Here are all of the theories surrounding 'Becky with the good hair'..

Rachel Roy

Bey's rival Rachel Roy has been accused of being 'Becky' this week and hit back on Twitter over claims she got "too close" to the star's husband.

The designer, who is rumoured to have been the reason Bey's sister Solange kicked off in an lift row after the Met Gala in 2014, addressed the rumours on Sunday after the singer's fans bombarded her with abuse.

She tweeted: "I respect love, marriages, families and strength. What shouldn't be tolerated by anyone, no matter what, is bullying, of any kind."

Rachel previously appeared to give a nod to being the other woman name-checked in the track.

She posted a selfie of her laughing in the back of a car just hours after Lemonade dropped.

With her long tresses down over her shoulders Rachel, 42, can be seen giggling away while a pal holds up some light to try and get the perfect shot.

She captioned the now deleted image: "Good hair don't care, but we will take good lighting, for selfies, or self truths, always. live in the light #nodramaqueens."

Rihanna

Beyonce believed the rumours Jay had an affair with Rihanna while they were on a secret break, a book claimed last year.

Celebrity journalist J. Randy Taraborrelli wrote about their marriage in the unauthorised biography, Becoming Beyonce, and alleged they started rowing over her 'obsessive dedication' to work back in 2005, three years before they got married.

"He felt that she was too concerned with [work] and overwhelmed by it…She also had a tendency to become moody and defensive when under great work pressure, and it had begun to drive a wedge between her and Jay,” Taraborrelli writes.

"The two broke up for a time during that year. She flat-out told him she needed a break."

It was during their time apart that Jay allegedly had a fling with his protege Rihanna, who was 17 and signed to his label Def Jam.

A former member of Rihanna's camp allegedly confessed to Taraborrelli that he made up the claims in order to kick-start the Barbadian beauty's career as a pop star.

They may not have got together but the author claims Bey believed the gossip and ended up having trust issues when it came to Jay.

"Beyonce wasn't sure she could trust Jay when it came to his adamant denials," he writes. "She couldn't help but be skeptical.”

Rita Ora

Days before the singer's album debuted, Rita took to Snapchat where she shared a picture of herself wearing a bra with two lemons on it and also what appeared to be a letter ‘J’ necklace.

The necklace actually featured the initial 'R', although due to the mirror reflection, some people thought it was a 'J'. East mistake to make.

Beyonce fans then started to fill her social media pages with cruel comments and endless lemon and bee emojis.

Rita was signed to Jay Z's Roc Nation label in 2008 but has since sued them for failing to produce a second album.

She has vehemently denied on numerous occasions that she ever hooked up with the father-of-one after they worked together.

In an interview with DJ Charlamagne Tha God, she said: "Don't you dare disrespect Beyonce like that ever again in your entire life."

She added: "Yeah cause that's just straight up disrespect. You can't even go there, that just not a question."

Geordie Shore's Holly Hagan even ended up being shot down by Reets after she mentioned her 'affair' with Jay on Twitter in 2013.

Rita was furious and wrote back: "I stayed silent on one bulls**t rumour but this one I have to speak' 'Neva eva will any1 includin a red head dum z listin attention seekin whore try talk s**t about me & my family holly wateva da f*k ur name is,(sic)."

The other women

Tori Kelly was linked to Jay Z 

These women aren't the only ladies Jay has been linked to after he started dating Beyonce back in 2002.

Reality star Casey Cohen and model Claudia Scheelen (who both have very excellent hair) have outrageously been name-checked in stories about Jay's rumoured infidelity.

Singer Tori Kelly was also rumoured to have got close to the star after a charity event, and pretty much every women who has worked with Jay in the studio, including singer Mya, have unfortunately been caught up in stories about his 'cheating'.

Meanwhile, some fans have pointed out there are many slang terms in Lemonade and "Becky" is actually a reference to a Caucasian woman with straight hair. Hmmm.

And so far, the only woman that hasn't been linked to Jay is anybody actually named Becky!
