One of the music industry’s most iconic couples is none other than Beyoncé Knowles and Jay-Z. The couple’s love story began in 2000 when they crossed paths on a plane ride to Cancun for an MTV Spring Break event. What began as a friendship eventually morphed into a relationship, and the duo went on their first date in 2001. While they didn’t officially announce their relationship publicly until 2004, their love for each other was evident in their music. The power couple had previously collaborated on hit tracks like the 2003 single “Crazy In Love” and the 2002 track “03 Bonnie and Clyde.”
Beyoncé and Jay-Z got married in an intimate wedding ceremony in 2008. The pair then went on to welcome three children together, their daughter, Blue Ivy in 2012, and twins Sir and Rumi in 2017. The Grammy award-winning musicians are easily one of the most watched couples in the industry. While their marriage has stood the test of time, especially by Hollywood standards, it hasn’t been without its ups and downs — we all remember Beyoncé’s Lemonade, after all. Rumors of a breakup, infidelity, and family troubles have swirled around the couple for as long as they’ve been linked. However, they have stuck by each other’s side, despite the court of public opinion. Not even Becky with the good hair could come between the biggest rumors about Beyonce and Jay-Z.
Did Rachel Roy inspire Beyonce’s Lemonade album?
Amanda Edwards/Getty ImagesNetizens have long wondered who “Becky with the good hair” is. Beyoncé’s iconic line came from her 2016 visual album “Lemonade,” which was filled with tracks about a scorned lover and a broken relationship. Listeners quickly connected the dots, and it sparked speculation that Jay-Z had cheated on his wife. In her track “Sorry” the Grammy-winning artist drops some shocking lines including, “He only want me when I’m not there. He better call Becky with the good hair.”
Jay-Z eventually owned up to being unfaithful in his marriage during an interview with The New York Times in 2017. Discussing his positive experiences with therapy, the rapper described how he realized putting on a tough exterior had affected his relationships. “So even with women, you gonna shut down emotionally, so you can’t connect,” he said. “… In my case, like, it’s deep. And then all the things happen from there: infidelity.”
So who was Becky with the good hair? One rumor suggested it was fashion designer Rachel Roy, a former intern for Rocawear, a clothing company co-founded by Jay-Z. In a since-deleted Instagram post made in the wake of “Lemonade,” she caught heat for appearing to reference “Sorry” with the photo caption, “Good hair don’t care, but we will take good lighting, for selfies, or self truths, always. Live in the light.” In a statement published by People, Roy denied rumors of an affair and suggested her Instagram post had been misinterpreted.
Solange Knowles fought with Jay-Z in an elevator

In surveillance video obtained by TMZ, Solange could be seen seemingly lunging for the rapper, kicking and hitting him while Beyoncé attempted to intervene. While the trio remained hush-hush about why the fight occurred, varying sources alleged different causes.
One source claimed to Daily News that the argument started after an allegedly drunken Solange was angry with her brother-in-law for planning to go to Rihanna’s afterparty without his wife. Another insider spoke to People, claiming that Beyoncé’s sister had a run-in with designer Rachel Roy earlier in the night which set her off. Jay-Z was furthermore said to have made an inappropriate comment which ultimately fanned the flames of the dispute further. “When they got in the elevator, it escalated quickly the way family tensions can,” the source told People.
In a statement released to the Associated Press (per CNN), the Knowles family denied rumors that Solange had been acting erratic and intoxicated prior to the incident and suggested that both she and Jay-Z had accepted their share of responsibility for what transpired. “They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public,” the statement read. “They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.”
