Okay, so imagine this: it’s 2016. Beyoncé drops Lemonade, the world stops breathing, and suddenly everyone is accusing Rita Ora of being “Becky with the good hair”. Like girl, do you even use Olaplex??
Fast forward to right now, and Rita’s finally giving us the piping hot tea on that chaotic era. And spoiler alert: it was all fake news, babes. Not a single Becky to be found. Not even a bob with a suspicious shine.
In a new podcast chat on Begin Again with Davina McCall (a.k.a. “Therapy but Make It British”), Rita straight up said, “I wish I had good hair.” SAME, queen. SAME.
She said the whole scandal was her first real taste of mess, and it was like stepping into a drama vortex wearing crocs and confusion. And guess what? Beyoncé was her actual fairy godmother the whole time. Like wings, glitter, emotional support, the full package. 🧚♀️✨
“She protected me,” Rita said. “Like full-on Beyoncé bodyguard mode. No Lemonade shade, just pure love.” And honestly? That’s the only kind of lemonade we’re drinking.
Oh, and plot twist: while everyone was accusing her of ruining Jay-Z’s marriage, Rita was busy filming Fifty Shades of Grey and wondering why the internet was acting like she personally destroyed the Beyoncé cinematic universe. 💀
To shut everyone up, Bey and Rita literally snapped a selfie at the Met Gala like, “Look! No drama here! Just cheekbones and couture!”
Also?? Rita once performed Say My Name in front of Beyoncé at 21 years old. THAT’S STRESS. Like, do you sing or just faint?? And Beyoncé didn’t just clap—she basically adopted her. She checks in on Rita’s childhood friends. Who else but Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, angel of the pop realm?
Anyway, Rita was last seen living her best life at the Cowboy Carter Tour looking unbothered, un-Becky’d, and utterly blessed.
