Rita Ora Debunks Beyoncé Rumors | Entertainment and Celebrity News

About this episode

Rita Ora’s summer glow-up is on full display—sequin bikinis, private jet pics with Taika Waititi, and nights out dripping in vibe. But her social media spotlight also reignites old drama: that 2016 “Becky with the good hair” rumor she was once tied to. Rita admits she doesn’t know who started it, but she’s tired of women being pitted against each other—and even posted a selfie with Beyoncé calling her “Family.” She also cleared up confusion over a lemon-themed lingerie shoot, confirming it was just a brand collab, not a nod to Lemonade. Through the noise, Rita keeps pushing forward—her music, her work, and her resilience are her real trophies.

It's September 1st. Entertainment and celebrity news. Today starts now. AI powered in Spotlight Ready. I'm Cory with the story. Rita Ora recently dropped the collection of summer photos on social media. And yeah, she was looking good. We're talking sequined bikinis showing off that physique she worked hard for. She even posted a pic with her husband, Taika YTT, boarding a private jet, plus some shots from nights out in dinners. The vibe was definitely summer. Don't go yet. Now, this isn't the first time Rita's been in the headlines for something beyond her music. Remember back in 2016 when Beyonce dropped that album a liminade? There was a whole thing about a lyric, Becky with the good hair. And people started speculating like crazy. Rita was apparently linked to it, even wearing a not Becky pin at one point. She's spoken about it, saying she doesn't even know who started that whole rumor, but she'd love to find out. Rita pointed out how often women get pitted against each other and in that

situation, neither of them had anything to gain. She even posted a selfie with Beyonce later, calling her family to shut down any lingering drama. Weed also addressed a specific photo shoot where she wore lingerie with lemons on it, which some fans took as a direct nod to Beyonce's album. She clarified that it was just a design for collaboration with an underwear company, not related at all. She emphasized that you have to take things with a grain of salt, especially in the age of social media. It's clear Rita feels like her personal life sometimes overshadows her career, and she's got the credentials to back up her respect. She's been through the ringer with rumors, but she's always come back strong, focusing on her music and her work.
