Rita Ora has addressed claims that she is the unknown woman named 'Becky' in the 2016 Beyoncé song 'Sorry' from Lemonade.

Since its release, there has been a mass of speculation around who the woman was 'Becky', and this was heavily speculated to be Rita Ora.

Now, she has opened up to Louis Theroux about the rumours, which stemmed from her being signed to Jay-Z's Roc Nation record label.

In the interview as part of the Theroux series, Ora was asked about the infamous rumours that she was indeed Becky, and she was once photographed wearing a 'J' necklace - presumably about Jay-Z.

Theroux asked Ora about the situation: "When Beyoncé had her album, there was a mysterious woman called who allegedly Jay-Z had cheated with."

The singer then laughed off these claims that she was the infamous 'Becky' in the lyrics.

He continued: "Then at some point in 2016, with ‘Lemonade’ in the air, you posted a picture of yourself with lemons on your bra and a ‘J’ around your neck."

Ora then responded to this and said: "Oh my god, it literally was a coincidence" about the claims.

"I didn’t even think about it, I swear. And it wasn’t a J, it was an R. They flipped it round and then it looked like a J."
