All of the Women Who’ve Been Accused of Being “Becky with the Good Hair”

beyonce-looking-jayz-phone

While Beyoncé‘s Lemonade has been lauded as a masterful album and work of art, it’s also unleashed an angry mob with pitchforks and sent them on a witch hunt for the no-good “Becky with the good hair” that Beyoncé claims is Jay Z’s mistress.

call-becky-good-hair

The BeyHive, as Beyonce’s rabid fan base is referred to as, has swarmed on a few suspects in defense of its queen.

Some of the targets have brought this wrath upon themselves by trying to play cute when they shouldn’t have, but others are innocent bystanders.

Here’s a look at the current crop of “Becky” suspects on the BeyHive’s Most Wanted List.

Rachel Roy

rachel-roy-becky-post

Why She’s Suspected: The first and strongest suspect is none other than Rachel Roy, Dame Dash’s baby mama and ex-girlfriend. Rachel is a stylist and socialite who previously used to hob knob with Solange. But rumors of something going on between her and Jay have been circling around for a while. And when Rachel posted an update on Instagram that talked about “good hair, don’t care,” shortly after the premiere of Lemonade, the Hive assumed the worst and launched an aggressive attack.

Her Plea: Not guilty.

Do We Believe Her?: Maybe; it’s tough. There’s certainly some smoke there as her ties to Solange would’ve given her close access to Jay. And given Jay’s superhero-level petty, there’s a certain satisfaction you can imagine coming from Jay in snatching up Dame’s ex. But still, it’s hard to think Jay would choose a Rachel Roy over a Beyoncé.

Rachael Ray

rachaelray-becky-post

Why She’s Suspected: Because some of the BeyHive is freaking illiterate and couldn’t figure out that the initial Becky suspect was named Rachel ROY and not Rachael RAY, the celebrity chef.

Current Status: Not guilty.

Do We Believe Her?: Yes. While Rachael Ray is certainly thick in the right places, we don’t think she’s got anything to do with Jay and Bey’s martial issues. Rachael minds her lasagna and worries about her potatoes. She ain’t botherin’ nobody.

Rita Ora

rita-ora-jay-z-hug

Why She’s Suspected: Like all of Jay Z’s female proteges, whispers of Jay knocking boots with his last female pet project, Rita Ora, have swirled for some time. There’s also the fact that Ora seemed to get constant funding despite none of her music gaining traction in the US. Clearly, she was PLEASING somebody in some way because it certainly wasn’t happening through the music.

Her Plea: Not guilty.

Do We Believe Her?: Maybe. Although this affair allegedly took place years ago, Rita recently decided to sue Roc Nation to get out of her contract (and then they countersued her), which suggests her relationship with Jay isn’t and hasn’t been close for some time.

Mya

mya-jayz-becky-post

Why She’s Suspected: Once upon a time, in the early 2000s, Mya collaborated with Jay Z for a remix of her hit single “Best of Me.” In the video, Mya and Jay seemed to exhibit some pretty potent romantic and physical chemistry.

Her Plea: Not guilty.

Do We Believe Her?: Yes. Mya worked with Jay Z before Beyoncé was wifed up with Jay. This affair, if it actually did happen to Bey and Jay personally, is too recent for Mya to be a factor as Mya probably hasn’t been around Jay in over a decade. The last time she was around Jay Z, Shad Moss was still Lil’ Bow Wow.

Watch “Mary Mary” Season 5 Episode 9

mary-mary-season-5

“Mary Mary” Season 5 Episode 9 aired on WeTV Thursday night (Apr 28).

Erica and Warryn pressure Tina about a new album, Warryn reconsiders Koryn as a replacement, and Erica tells Tina shocking news.

Watch “Mary Mary” Season 5 Episode 9 (VIDEO) Here:

About the show:

Last season left viewers in limbo with Erica and Tina Campbell focusing on their individual careers, forcing Mary Mary into an indefinite hiatus. The sisters, now in direct competition with each other, are also feeling pressure to keep Mary Mary in the game, even if that means replacing a Mary!

This season, Erica Campbell is at the top of her game having won a Grammy, Dove and Soul Train Award. Meanwhile, Tina’s solo career is on the rise. These now-solo sisters have become accustomed to being at the top as part of the dynamic duo that is Mary Mary. However, for the first time ever, they are competing for the same spot on the charts.

Can Mary Mary survive the pressures of Erica and Tina’s individual ventures and personal lives, or will their success be the demise of Mary Mary?

Ezekiel Elliott Bares His Midriff With Sassy Crop Top Formalwear at NFL Draft

ezekiel-elliott-red-carpet

Move over, Dwyane Wade and Cam Newton. You two are no longer the professional male athletes with the most questionable fashion sense.

You see, Ezekiel Elliott, a former Ohio State running back, swiftly and viciously snatched that crown with his midriff-baring crop top at the 2016 NFL Draft in Chicago.

Ok, girl! Give us that Britney Spears “Baby One More Time” fever, if you must.

Apparently, this belly-baring thing is a signature look for Ezekiel, per SB Nation. He claims rolling up his shirt makes it more difficult for players to tug on his jersey or whatever.

My thoughts: You ain’t gots to lie, Craig.

Ezekiel likely feels sexy and sassy when he rolls up his jersey and unleashes his inner Sasha Fierce. And hey, Michael Sam told us there were lots of other gays in the NFL hiding in the background, so maybe Ezekiel is giving us a sneak peek of a larger announcement he’ll share later on down the line.

Caitlyn Jenner Claps Back at Ted Cruz by Taking a Leak in Trump’s Ladies’ Room

caitlin-trump-bathroom

While Bruce Jenner has made a name for himself by transitioning into a transwoman that the world knows as Caitlyn Jenner, one thing has not changed since his transformation: Jenner remains a staunch conservative.

This is true despite Caitlyn’s embrace of LGBT rights, but even there, she’s gotten herself in hot water with statements that offered tepid support for gay marriage.

But when it comes to the controversial North Carolina law that seeks to ban transgender people from using the bathrooms that align with their new gender, Caitlyn is more than willing to take out her dick and take a piss ‘on em, to borrow verbiage from Nicki Minaj.

Donald Trump rocked the conservative world when he announced he was totally OK with Caitlyn using the women’s restroom in his hotels, reports ABC News. Ted Cruz, the number two Republican presidential contender, on the other hand, has been unafraid to voice his support of North Carolina’s anti-trans bathroom law.

Caitlyn decided to kill two birds with one stone and mozy on over to one of Trump’s hotels and take a leak in the ladies’ room to take him up on his offer and also give Cruz the middle finger. Of course she had to snag it on camera and share it on social media (thankfully we were spared the footage of Caitlyn actually urinating on camera).

In the short clip, Caitlyn walks into the lobby of a Trump hotel and asks where the restroom is. She stops by the door of the men’s room and says, “Not anymore!” then makes her way into the women’s restroom. After draining the lizard, Caitlyn triumphantly thanks Trump for allowing her to use the restroom and announces, “By the way, Ted, nobody got molested.”

Watch Caitlyn take a stand against Ted Cruz and North Carolina’s transphobic bathroom law below.
