Rita Ora has once again denied rumors of a secret affair, saying it was just a coincidence.

British singer Rita Ora has once again denied longstanding rumors that she was the mysterious woman named 'Becky' mentioned by Beyoncé in her song 'Sorry' from the album Lemonade. The speculation began in 2016 after Beyoncé released the album, which dealt with themes of infidelity in her marriage to Jay-Z. Fans started guessing who the mysterious woman was, and attention quickly shifted to Rita Ora due to a photo she posted on Snapchat showing her in a bikini with a lemon motif and a necklace that appeared like the letter J. Ora has repeatedly explained that this was purely coincidental, stating that the necklace represented the letter R and the bikini was part of a collection designed for the brand Tezenis. She also wore a T-shirt at the Met Gala with the message 'I'm Not Becky,' which she said was a joke gift from Katy Perry. Ora emphasized that there is no serious conflict between her and Beyoncé, but she criticizes how the media and social networks have spread the story and placed women against each other.
