Erykah Badu says Beyonce copied her style with one of her recent looks.

Erykah Badu called Beyonce out on Instagram, Sunday, comparing one of her recent outfits to her own style. In doing so, she shared a picture of herself in one of her iconic hats as well as Beyonce rocking a similar look.

"Guess I'm everybody stylist," Badu wrote in the post. Fans sided with both artists in an ensuing discussion on social media. Commenting on a post of Badu's message by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram, one fan of Beyonce's wrote: "Idk why people in this world think they can only do something and if somebody do it also it means they copying, do y’all know how many people on earth? Y’all gotta stop being so full of yourself we all get inspiration from each other shi who else do we see we only got each down here."
