Rita Ora denies dating Jay Z

Los Angeles, April 27 (IANS) Singer-actress Rita Ora has denied reports suggesting that she was dating rapper Jay Z, who is married to R&B singer Beyonce Knowles.

Ora, 25, took to Twitter to clarify the rumours, which surfaced after an image of her wearing an outfit similar to the one worn by Knowles in her music video of her latest album "Lemonade" and what looked like a "J" necklace appeared online, reports aceshowbiz.com

"I never usually address tabloid gossip but let me be clear, these rumours are false. I have nothing but the upmost respect for Beyonce. Let's continue enjoying 'Lemonade'," the singer posted.

The singer was accused of having an affair with Jay Z after Knowles appeared to hint on her new project, "Lemonade", that he had cheated on her with a "becky with good hair".

Fans believed Ora had been dropping hints the songs were about her after she posted cryptic photographs on her Snapchat account.
