Last night during Beyonce’s highly anticipated HBO special Lemonade, Queen B very publicly and pointedly exposed Jay Z for alleged marriage infidelities. Amidst the sea of damning testimony (‘ashes to ashes, dust to side chicks,’ ‘you gon’ lose your wife’), Beyonce dropped a cryptic clue as to who the side chick may be: “he better call Becky with the good hair.”
Just a few hours after Lemonade aired, a girl by the name of Rachel Roy, a fashion designer and ex-wife of Jay Z’s former partner Damon Dash, took to Instagram to post a picture of herself accompanied with the caption, “Good hair don’t care, but we will take good lighting, for selfies, or self truths, always. live in the light #nodramaqueens.”
She’s the dark haired one.

Roy was viciously attacked on social media by members of Queen B’s uber-loyal Beehive, forcing her to make her Instagram account private.
It’s easy to write this off as humor from someone who is lightly associated with Jay, but many tabloid outlets claimed that the Jay Z’s now infamous elevator fight with Beyonce’s sister, Solange, in May of 2014 was rooted in Jay’s too close for comfort relationship with Roy.
Hollywood Life reported back then:
“Solange was defending Beyoncé in the elevator because Solange finds Jay’s friendship with Rachel to be WAY too close for comfort and it makes Solange very uncomfortable.”
“Beyoncé also confronted Rachel and said, ‘Don’t talk to my sister like that,’ after [Rachel] confronted Solange.”
The BeeHive is buzzin!
Rachel took to Twitter to shoot back at the online vitriol.
I understand variety is the spice of life, but Jay. Come on.
