Badu appears to be taking issue with Queen B's hair in the image which mirrors a style the "On & On" singer has worn in the past.

The iconic neo-soul singer previously called Beyonc out, accusing her of biting her style when it comes to hats.

While on her Renaissance Tour last year, B wore a metallic, wide-brimmed hat similar to one Badu has worn a lot over the years.

She commented with the same "Hmmm," underneath a picture of Bey's outfit. Badu then posted a picture of herself performing in a hat similar hat, adding: "I guess I'm everyone's stylist. favorite chrome mirror hat."

Beyonc appeared to take the rare step of responding to the shade on a subsequent tour stop in Massachusetts.

During a performance of "Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)," Beyonc skipped her usual shoutout to Lizzo and replaced her name with extra mentions of Erykah Badu, saying her surname four times.

She replaced the original lyrics, "Badu, Lizzo, Kelly Rowl" with: "Badu, Badu, Badu, Badu."
