But let’s rewind.

Way back on May 5, 2014, the night of the infamous elevator incident, rumours flew when security footage of her sister, Solange, punching the hell out of Jay Z, while Beyonce quietly stood nearby, was leaked.

Tabloids immediately pointed the finger at fashion designer Rachel Roy, ex-wife of Jay Z’s former partner Damon Dash (the two co-founded Roc-A-Fella Records), suggesting the rapper had stepped out on his wife with her and Solange was letting him have it.

Here’s a sample of just some of the lyrics on Lemonade that may be confirmation that the rumours were indeed true:

On the track “Don’t Hurt Yourself”: “Who the f—k do you think I am? / You ain’t married to no average bitch, boy / You can watch my fat ass twist, boy / As I bounce to the next dick, boy” … “This is your final warning / You know I give you life / If you try this sh—t again / You gon’ lose your wife”

“Pray You Catch Me”: “You can taste the dishonesty / It’s on your breath as you pass it off so cavalier”

“Hold Up”: “Something don’t feel right / Cause it ain’t right / Especially comin’ up after midnight,” with the video featuring a smiling Beyonce smashing cars with a baseball bat.

“Sorry”: “Looking at my watch, he shoulda been home / Today I regret the night I put that ring on / He always got them fucking excuses … “He only want me when I’m not on there / He better call Becky with the good hair”

As a seeming reference to the track “Sorry,” Roy then posted a photo to Instagram of herself and a group of friends, writing, “Good hair don’t care, but we will take good lighting, for selfies, or self truths, always. live in the light #nodramaqueens.”
