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."

When asked by Theroux whether the necklace was "designed to intrigue" or to start speculation, Ora replied that it was a design with an underwear company that she was working on.

Well it seems that the rumours have cleared up now, and we still don't know who Becky is.
