Most Rachel Roy bios elide exact dates. They all agree that she graduated from collge in 1996, moved to New York, and dabbled in styling before interning at Rocawear. She told Vibe in 2005 of the internship, "I worked in the mailroom, then marketing and production. I went to factories and watched them make product."

Over the following four years, she worked her way up to creative director of juniors.

Jay Z tells Charlie Rose he met Bey “ten years ago" in a 2007 interview. Bey, however, tells Seventeen in 2008 that “I was 18 when we first met, 19 when we first started dating,” which suggests they met later in 1999 or early 2000.

The move is an axe on their business partnership and friendship.

More innocent times.

After the 2014 Met Ball, footage leaks of Solange attacking Jay Z. Rumors begin to swirl on HollywoodLife.com that Rachel Roy is the subject of the controversy. An anonymous source says, “Solange was defending Beyoncé in the elevator because Solange finds Jay’s friendship with Rachel to be way too close for comfort and it makes Solange very uncomfortable. Beyoncé also confronted Rachel and said, ‘Don’t talk to my sister like that,’ after [Rachel] confronted Solange.”

The album alludes heavily to Jay Z's infidelity.

In Beyoncé's track "Sorry," she sings, "He better call Becky with the good hair." Meanwhile, Roy's caption reads, "Good hair don’t care, but we will take good lighting, for selfies, or self truths, always. live in the light #nodramaqueens." Many (many) people believe this is Roy claiming she is (or was) Jay's "side chick."

According to Buzzfeed, Roy cancels an appearance at a seminar called “Mastering Your Métier” in New York City organized by NeueHouse. She cites a "personal emergency."

She tells People: "I want to put the speculation and rumors to rest. My Instagram post was meant to be fun and lighthearted, it was misunderstood as something other than that. There is no validity to the idea that the song references me personally. There is no truth to the rumors.

Consequently, online haters have targeted me and my daughters in a hurtful and scary manner, including physical threats. As a mother — and I know many mothers would agree — I feel that bullying in any form is harmful and unacceptable. I would hope that the media sees the real issue here – the issue of cyber bullying – and how it should not be tolerated by anyone."
