Beyoncé's Publicist and Team Defend Singer Against Erykah Badu's Accusation That She Stole Her Look. Here’s Why Everybody Got It Wrong

Beyoncé's publicist and team are going hard to defend the singer after she faced more accusations of stealing from the Erykah Badu.

Badu has accused Beyoncé of stealing her looks over the past few months, starting with an oversized top hat Yoncé wore on stage similar to the one the 53-year-old frequently wears. 

The neo-soul singer also made fun of her silver look during Bey's Renaissance Tour last year. “Hmm," she added in the caption, "I guess I’m everybody stylist.” Now, she has accused the fellow Texan of copying her style for her highly-anticipated, "Cowboy Carter" album.

Beyoncé released a picture from her new album cover featuring her wearing Fulani braids with beads, and Badu seemingly threw shade by sharing the picture in her Instagram Stories with the caption "Hmmm."

After the "Tyrone" singer was dragged by the Beehive for being shady, she called on Bey's husband of almost 17 years to speak up.

"To Jay Z . Say somethin Jay," wrote Badu. "You gone let this woman and these bees do this to me ?? [laughing emoji].” The post also included a video of a man crying from an recent episode of the "Karamo" show, as he says, "I might hate you for the rest of my life for real. Because you knew. You knew."

Badu's request that Jay-Z step in was seemingly the last straw for her publicist, Noel-Schure, who posted a montage of Beyoncé on Instagram rocking Fulani braids throughout her lengthy career. The post was captioned, "She slays. She slays. Now. Then. Always. act ii COWBOY CARTER 3.29 #criticswithoutcredentials."

Making the drama even more "Thique," Justina Omokhua, the senior vice president of Beyoncé's entertainment company Parkwood Entertainment shared a post of of the singer's album along with lyrics from Badu's song "Tyrone." "

"But 'cha don't know how to act, so matter fact."
