With the masses drinking up Beyonce‘s ‘Lemonade’ in their (hundreds of) thousands, it’s clear the project’s movie component was a fruitful venture.

Rita Ora has broken her silence.

The Brit-bred singer has been the focus of much speculation following Beyonce‘s allusion to infidelity in her relationship on new album ‘Lemonade.’
