Ever since Beyonce released Lemonade, many believe that the album is all about the infidelity of her husband, Jay Z.
However, Queen Bey's song co-writer, Ingrid Burley, defended the couple and said the LP is not about the rumors of the rapper cheating.

In an interview with Genius, Ingrid Burley explained that the track from Lemonade titled "Love Drought" is actually about Beyonce's record label, Parkwood Entertainment - not Jay Z.
In fact, the female rapper revealed that Beyonce is not aware of the real meaning of Love Drought.
"Ten times out of nine, I know you're lying / But nine times out of ten, I know you're trying," says the controversial line from "Love Drought."
Beyonce's fans thought the line was a reference to Jay Z, but Burley explained that it was her own way to express her frustration with Parkwood Entertainment.
"Two of the people who were running [Parkwood] at the time had lied to me and told me that Beyoncé wasn't currently listening to any new music," Burley said of a situation two years ago, when she was just a newbie in the music industry.
However, after a studio session, she heard that Parkwood executives were reading the "Formation" hitmaker's reminders for another artist's work, which proved that Beyonce was indeed listening to new music.
Burley's annoyance led her to write "Love Drought."
"The only way that I could really get over it was like, she's gonna sing the song I wrote about her label one day," said Burley.
So, Burley's vengeance resulted in something good that made music history.
