Beyoncé saddled up and revealed her alternate “Cowboy Carter” album cover art Wednesday, and Erykah Badu’s all fired up about it … wondering it’s a full imitation of her, and, no, she’s not flattered!
She’s claiming Bey of copying her signature beaded bob hairdo without so much as a thank you, prompting Erykah to repost the picture with a mockingly curious “Hmmm” caption.
Fans, especially Beyoncé’s, immediately took note of EB’s assertion of a style jacking.
In fact, the Beyhive is so riled up, Erykah switched from Instagram to X, where she urged Jay-Z to come to her rescue, posting … “Say somethin Jay. You gone let this woman and these bees do this to me??”
Difficult position for her to put Hov in — after all, that’s his wife Erykah’s insulting!!!
It’s interesting for Erykah to single out on the hairstyle, because Beyoncé’s alternate “Cowboy Carter” album cover art (for vinyl LPs) has a lot happening — the singer poses in the buff, only covered in a sash with “Act II” and “Beyince,” her cousin Angie’s last name, stamped across the front.
Yet, Erykah’s laser-focused on that hair. Remember, Erykah also aimed Bey last year over hats she wore during her “Renaissance” tour, which she also thought ripped off her style.So, Mt. Badu’s been ready to erupt, and it seems “Cowboy Carter” is the trigger.
