Jay-Z responds to Beyonce’s Lemonade with new album, 4:44

by

So, we all remember Becky with the good hair, right?

Well, it looks like Jay-Z's latest album, 4:44, may just be a response to Beyonce's Lemonade.

In her 2016 album, Beyonce calls out Jay for allegedly cheating on her with a mysterious woman.

Of course, the rumour mill went into overdrive, but today, fans are still none the wiser as to who this so-called 'Becky' could be.

However, it looks like we may be one step closer, as lyrics on Jay-Z's 4:44 appear to address the speculation around his infidelity.

In a track entitled Family Feud, he raps: “Yeah, I’ll f**k up a good thing if you let me. Leave me alone, Becky. A man that don’t take care his family can’t be rich.”

Fans also believe that the albums title track is an apology to Bey with Jay admitting that it took the birth of their daughter, Blue Ivy, to make him see how bad his behaviour had become.

He raps: “I apologise, often womanise, took my child to be born, see through a woman’s eyes. Took for these natural twins to believe in miracles. Took me too long for this song. I don’t deserve you.”

“If my children knew, I don’t even know what I would do. If they don’t look at me the same I would probably die of all the shame.”

Blue Ivy's voice can also be heard on the track Legacy, where she appears to ask her father,  “Daddy, what’s a will?”

Using the opportunity to get everything out in the open, Jay also references the infamous elevator fight between him and Beyonce's sister, Solange.

“You egg Solange on knowing all along all you had to say was you was wrong.”

“You almost went Eric Benet! Let the baddest girl in the world get away. I don’t even know what to say, n***a never go Eric Benet.”

Fans have taken to Twitter to react to the much anticipated album.  

But of course, the Beyhive was out in force to defend their Queen Bee. 

As of now, 4:44 is only available to stream on Tidal, but fans are hoping for a Spotify/ Apple Music release in the future.
