Beyonce silenced speculation that her husband Jay-Z allegedly cheated on her as she paid tribute to him on her Formation Tour.

Beyonce described the rapper as “beautiful” as she took to the stage in Miami to kick off the 41 date tour.

Wrapping up the first night at Marlins Park Stadium, she dedicated her 2009 single Halo to her husband of eight years.

"I want to dedicate this song to my beautiful husband,” she told fans. “I love you so much.”

The US pop superstar also performed Sorry – the song which led to cheating allegations after it was released last weekend on HBO as part of the visual album release.

The song features the lyrics: "He only want me when I'm not there / He better call Becky with the good hair".

The rumours were further fuelled by the release of Pray You Catch Me, which features the lyrics: "You can taste the dishonesty / It's all over your breath/ As you pass it off so cavalier".

Beyonce fans quickly claimed designer Rachel Roy was “Becky” – but she has since slammed the rumours and accused "trolls" of bullying her.

Rita Ora was also rumoured to be Jay-Z's mistress after she was pictured wearing the Gucci dress Beyonce had worn in her Formation video.

Slamming the suggestions on Twitter she wrote: “I never usually address tabloid gossip but let me be clear, these rumours are false.

“I have nothing but the utmost respect for Beyonce. Let’s continue enjoying Lemonade.”
