Beyonce's 'Lemonade' has left the world abuzz since HBO debuted the visual album for a 27-hour window Saturday night.

For those who missed it, it's available for purchase via iTunes, or streaming via Jay Z's Tidal platform.

Meanwhile 'Lemonade' storyline about a woman's ride on an emotional roller coaster after being betrayed by the love of her life has off a tidal wave of speculation about how much of the material was drawn from Beyonce's own experience in her marriage to music mogul Jay Z.

Rachel Roy, a woman alleged to have been linked romantically to Jay Z, was swarmed on social media by angry Beyonce fans amid speculation that she's the "Becky with the good hair" referred to in one of the songs addressing the pain of infidelity.

Roy fanned the flames herself by posting on Instagram: "Good hair don't care, but we will take good lighting, for selfies, or self truths, always. live in the light #nodramaqueens."

Not just Roy, Rita Ora has also gets stung by Beyonce's Beyhive (her fans).

The singer found herself attacked by the angry Beyhive after she appeared to be wearing a lemon bra as well as what fans thought was a ‘J’ necklace - making fans think that she's "Becky with the good hair" that Beyonce talks about.

Beyonce's rabid fans, of course, have been busy dissecting every word of 'Lemonade' and trying to line it up with her and Jay Z's personal life.

Many have connected the apparent infidelity mentioned in the album and the infamous video footage of a fight breaking out between Beyonce's sister, Solange, and Jay Z in an elevator during Met Gala.

Here are the lyrics from 'Lemonade' that seem to give a window into Beyonce's marriage with Jay Z:

From the track 'Don't Hurt Yourself': "Who the f*** do you think I am? / You ain’t married to no average b***h, boy / You can watch my fat ass twist, boy / As I bounce to the next d***, boy

"This is your final warning / You know I give you life / If you try this s**t again / You gon' lose your wife"

From the track 'Pray You Catch Me': "You can taste the dishonesty / It's on your breath as you pass it off so cavalier"

From the track 'Sorry': "Looking at my watch, he shoulda been home / Today I regret the night I put that ring on / He always got them f*****g excuses

"He only want me when I'm not on there / He better call Becky with the good hair"

From the track 'Hold Up', which features Beyoncé smashing up cars in the video: "Something don't feel right / Cause it ain't right / Especially comin' up after midnight"

From 'Hold Up', "I smell your secret, and I'm not too perfect / To ever feel this worthless." Going through his "call list," she warns, "I'ma f*** me up a b****."

Track 'Pray You Catch Me': "So what are you going to say at my funeral now that you’ve killed me? Here lies the body of the love of my life whose heart I broke without a gun to my head. Here lies the mother of my children both living and dead. Rest in peace, my true love, who I took for granted."
