But who is that mystery woman and why are we whistling the Wind Beneath My Wings?
Beyonce caused a stir when she referenced ‘Becky with the good hair’ on her new album Lemonade.
The song seemed to suggest that she was forgiving the man in her life for cheating with the aforementioned Becky.
A number of women were suggested as being the apocryphal Rebecca, including Rita Ora.
The lyrics in question are:
Big homie better grow up
Me and my whoadies ’bout to stroll up
I see them boppers in the corner
They sneaking out the back door
He only want me when I’m not there
He better call Becky with the good hair
He better call Becky with the good hair
But now it seems Becky – or rather Betty – has come forward and revealed herself.
It was BETTE MIDLER all along.
Bette who was of course only joking (we think) tweeted the revelation.
“Ok, ok, I AM “Becky with the good hair”.
What do you have to say for yourself Jay Z. Hmmm?
Bette, 70, is no stranger to winding up younger stars. She recently took Kim Kardashian to task.
