5 Questions We Still Have After Watching Beyoncs Lemonade
As Beyonc aired her hour-long HBO special, Lemonade, on Saturday night, the Internet quickly lost its collective mind. Speculation over what the 12-track visual album meant for Beyonc and husband Jay Z swirled as many saw the project as a statement about the status of her relationship with the 46-year-old rapper. Here are some questions many still have after listening to Lemonade. We may have to wait some time for answers since Beyonce has not commented on the album and rarely sits for interviews. 1. What is the status of Beyonc and Jay's relationship?, Blunt lyrics like, "If you try this sht again, you're gonna lose your wife," and, "Today I regret the night I put that ring on," led many to view Lemonade as Beyonc's public acknowledgement of marital discord with Jay Z. While some heard in the album a prelude to divorce, others found in the recordings a carefully orchestrated publicity stunt by the husband-wife team. 2. Who is Becky and how could she possibly have better hair than Beyonc?, Despite the irony of Queen B commenting on the fabulousness of anyone else's hair, one of the biggest talking points from the album has been the lyric, "He only want me when I'm not on there / He better call Becky with the good hair.", Many fans suggested this line was a reference to Rachel Roy  a fashion designer and the ex-wife of Jay Z's former business partner Damon Dash  who posted a photo on her now-private Instagram hours after the Lemonade special debuted with the caption, "Good hair don't care, but we will take good lighting, for selfies, or self truths, always. live in the light nodramaqueens.", 3. What role did Beyonc's father play?, While many viewers saw Jay Z as the focal point of Lemonades lyrics, another man is mentioned several times throughout the album  Beyonce's father, Mathew Knowles. In lyrics such as, "You remind me of my father, a magician / Able to exist in two places at once," and, "When trouble comes to town / And men like me come around / Oh, my daddy said shoot," some heard accusations of infidelity. Knowles and Beyonce's mother Tina finalized their divorced in 2011. Read More Review Beyonc Makes Lemonade From Romantic Strife on Her New Album, , 4. Was Jay Z in on the whole thing?, It's difficult not to at least consider this move from a strictly business perspective. While Lemonade does seem to take listeners on a journey through the ups and down of Beyonc's marriage, it was also released exclusively on Tidal  Jay Z's music streaming platform. The Roc Nation owner also appeared in the HBO special, leading many to speculate how much of the drama was manufactured to increase album sales. 5. Why won't Bey tell us what her lyrics mean?, Of course, Beyonc could easily clear much of this confusion up by explaining what her intentions were with Lemonade. However, the notoriously private star rarely gives interviews, preferring to let her artistic output speak for itself  so don't hold your breath for a tell-all anytime soon.
