For the second time in a year, Erykah Badu has accused Beyoncé Knowles-Carter of appropriating her eccentric, bohemian style – this time with braids.

On Wednesday, the 42-year-old R&B diva unveiled the limited-edition vinyl cover for her eighth studio album Act II: Cowboy Carter – dropping March 29 – and the 53-year-old neo-soul songstress reposted it with the pointed caption: ‘Hmmm.’

Erykah (born Erica Wright) frequently rocked the beaded bang braids between December 2023 and February of this year, including on the January cover of D Magazine.

Badu has been wearing the distinctive plaited hairstyle – made famous by Rick James and the Williams Sisters – as far back as 2010.

It only took two hours for the four-time Grammy winner to be so inundated by messages from Beyoncé’s 425M-strong Beyhive that she desperately reached out to her husband Jay-Z.

‘To Jay Z. Say somethin Jay,’ Erykah – who has 13.5M social media followers – tweeted.

‘You gone let this woman and these bees do this to me?’

And while Knowles-Carter and the 53-year-old rap mogul remained silent, her publicist Yvette Noel-Schure posted a montage of her rocking braided hairstyles throughout the years with the caption: ‘She slays. She slays. Now. Then. Always. act ii COWBOY CARTER 3.29 #criticswithoutcredentials.’

Back on July 31, Badu Instastoried a snap of the 32-time Grammy winner wearing a custom Ruslan Baginskiy silver boater hat during her 56-date Renaissance World Tour with the same pointed caption: ‘Hmm.’

The Marni collaborator immediately followed that up with a snap of herself performing in her ‘favorite chrome mirror hat’ with the shady caption: ‘I guess I’m everybody’s stylist.’

Erykah had debuted the towering topper on May 1 while DJing the official Met Gala after-party celebrating ‘Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty’ at the Costume Institute in Manhattan.

Beyoncé – who has FIVE stylists Marni Senofonte, KJ Moody, Shiona Turini, Karen Langley, and Julia Sarr-Jamois – did damage control by shouting Badu’s name four times during Break My Soul (Queens Remix) onstage Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA on August 1.

Ironically, both ladies hail from Texas with the Badu World Market founder based in Dallas and Knowles-Carter born and raised in Houston.
