Beyoncé’s publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, needed to examine Erykah Badu after the soul singer seemingly implied that the Grammy winner was copying her signature beaded braids on the duvet of her forthcoming album Act II: Cowboy Carter.
On March 20, Noel-Schure — who has been working with the embellished singer for over 20 years — posted a reel showcasing the “TEXAS HOLD’ EM” artist sporting stunning braids all through her profession.

Erykah Badu known as out Beyoncé, however the BeyHive was fast to sting the singer.
Instagram lit up on Wednesday when Beyoncé took to her account to share the restricted version vinyl cowl artwork for her forthcoming album Act II: Cowboy Carter. The gorgeous album paintings showcased the singer bare, draped in lengthy braids, her hair adorned with a placing beaded bang and crimson and white beads. Wrapped round a banner with the phrases “Act II Beyincé”— an ode to her mom’s maiden title — the singer stood tall with a lit cigar in her hand. As followers celebrated the attractive paintings, Badu, 53, shortly criticized the 42-year-old.
She posted the duvet artwork on her Instagram Story, captioning the picture, “Hmmm.”
Doubling down on her copycat claims, the “Window Seat” then took to her Instagram grid to pin a photograph of herself rocking the same beaded model with white and translucent-colored braids. Not too long ago, Badu was snapped rocking the beaded look throughout her February birthday present in Dallas.
Badu’s seemingly shady transfer wasn’t well-received by the BeyHive, Beyoncé’s trusted fanbase. Stans of the “ALIEN SUPERSTAR” singer flooded the feedback part calling out the soul singer for accusing the “CUFF IT” artist of jacking her swag.
“Child, ‘hmmmmm’ some other place. THE Beyoncé doesn’t have to repeat anyone. HAIR IS HAIR!!!” wrote one person.

“No disrespect Beyoncé not making an attempt to repeat you, and on prime of that, it’s a rattling coiffure that has been round within the Black neighborhood for some time!!”
A 3rd person penned, “What we not about to do is come for the Queen. STOP HATING!”
As criticism poured in from the BeyHive, Badu took to X, previously Twitter, to ask Beyoncé’s husband, Jay-Z, for some backup.
“To Jay Z . Say somethin’, Jay. You gone let this lady and these bees do that to me ??” her put up learn.
We predict Badu was setting herself up with this one. What do you suppose? Was she tripping?
