Afgelopen weekend lanceerde Beyoncé haar nieuwe album Lemonade via een special op HBO en al snel werd duidelijk dat Queen B errug boos was op iemand. Van de lyrics tot de video's; Beyoncé stak niet onder stoelen of banken dat man Jay Z was vreemdgegaan en veel kijkers dachten dan ook dat de special zou eindigen met de aankondiging dat het beroemde koppel ging scheiden.

Spoiler alert: dat gebeurde dus niet. Aan het einde van Beyoncé's extravaganza zag je hoe de twee het weer goed hadden gemaakt, met beelden van hen met dochtertje Blue Ivy. Maar desalniettemin, er is de afgelopen jaren - te beginnen bij dát lift-incident - veel drama geweest, zo valt te horen op het nieuwe album, dat je exclusief kunt streamen via Tidal.

Alvast een voorproefje? Dit zijn 18 lyrics waarin Beyoncé even flink naar Jay Z uithaalt. Revenge is a bitch, immers:

1. You can taste the dishonesty / It's on your breath as you pass it off so cavalier. (Uit het nummer Pray You Catch Me)

2. Can't you see there's no other man above you / What a wicked way to treat the girl that loves you. (Hold Up)

3. Something don't feel right because it ain't right, especially coming up after midnight / I smell your secrets and I'm not too perfect to ever feel this worthless / How did it come down to this, going through your call list? / I don't wanna lose my pride but I'ma fuck me up a bitch. (Hold Up)

4. What's worse, looking jealous or crazy? Jealous or crazy? / More like walked all over lately, walked all over lately, I'd rather be crazy. (Hold Up) 

5. It's such a shame, you let this good love go to waste. (Hold Up) 

6. Who the fuck do you think I am? You ain't married to no average bitch, boy. (Don't Hurt Yourself)

7. I am the dragon breathing fire / Beautiful man, I'm the lion / Beautiful man, I know you're lying. (Don't Hurt Yourself) 

8. I smell that fragrance on your Louis V, boy / Just give my fat ass a big kiss, boy / Tonight I'm fucking up all your shit, boy. (Don't Hurt Yourself)

9. This is your final warning / You know I give you life / If you try this shit again you gon' lose your wife. (Don't Hurt Yourself)

10. Looking at my watch, he shoulda been home / Today I regret the night I put that ring on / He always got them fucking excuses. (Sorry) 

11. He only want me when I'm not on there / He better call Becky with the good hair. (Sorry)

12. My daddy warned me about men like you / He said, "Baby girl, he's playing you." (Daddy Lessons)

13. I've always been committed, I've been focused / I always paid attention, been devoted, tell me what did I do wrong? (Love Drought)

14. Ten times out of nine, I know you're lying / 
But nine times outta ten, I know you're trying. (Love Drought)

15. Are you aware you're my lifeline, are you trying to kill me? / 
If I wasn't me, would you still feel me? / 
Like on my worst day? Or am I not thirsty enough? (Love Drought)

16. Pictures snatched out the frame / 
Bitch, I scratched out your name and your face / 
What is it about you that I can't erase, baby? (Sandcastles)

17. We built sandcastles that washed away
 / I made you cry when I walked away
 / And although I promised that I couldn't stay, baby / 
Every promise don't work out that way. (Sandcastles)

18. Found the truth beneath your lies
 / And true love never has to hide. (All Night)
