The drama about Jay-Z's alleged affair with a woman called 'Becky with the good hair' becomes the subject of parody on the 'late night' shows.

AceShowbiz - "Late night" show hosts are tackling Beyonce Knowles' visual album "Lemonade" following the growing controversy amid Jay-Z's cheating rumors that emerged after the album release on HBO. James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel, and Stephen Colbert are among those parodying the drama.
Corden channels his inner Queen Bey, wearing braids and stripping down to his underwear in a so-called "Lemonjames". Instead of making a reference to "Becky with the good hair," "The Late Late Show with James Corden" host calls out his rivals, either possibly Jimmy Fallon or Kimmel, as "Jimmy with the good hair."
On his own show, Kimmel explains Jay-Z's infidelity rumors that involve fashion designer Rachel Roy. The comedian also makes fun of Beyonce's fans over their Rachael Ray mix-up. To make it easier to understand, the funnyman uses emojis to break down the story to his "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" audience.
Meanwhile, Colbert mentions the elevator fight between Jay-Z and Beyonce's sister Solange Knowles when weighing in on the drama. "The only hint we had that she was gonna viciously attack Jay-Z was when she and her sister released that teaser trailer a couple years ago," he jokes before giving his comments from a white man's perspective.
