Rita Ora and Beyoncé Quash 'Becky' Rumours with Met Gala Selfie

Rita Ora and Beyoncé have appeared to put speculation to rest that the X Factor judge is the infamous 'Becky with the good hair' from Beyoncé's track 'Sorry'. The pair shared a cosy Snapchat video at this year's Met Gala, captioned 'Family' with a heart emoji, sending a clear message to fans that there is no bad blood between them.

The rumours began after Beyoncé's album 'Lemonade' hinted at Jay Z's infidelity, leading fans to speculate that Rita Ora was the 'Becky' in question. Rita previously denied the claims in a series of tweets, stating: 'I never usually address tabloid gossip but let me be clear, these rumours are false. I have nothing but the utmost respect for Beyoncé. Let's continue enjoying Lemonade.'

A source close to Rita said at the time: 'Rita is absolutely mortified and really angry about the comments being made about her. She has received a lot of online abuse and it is completely unfounded.' The Met Gala selfie appears to have put the matter to rest, with the two stars showing a united front on the red carpet.
