Well, it seems as though another prominent female artist has riled Queen B's fans up recently as they have all been furiously on the attack.And who is the woman in question?
It's none other than Jennifer Lopez, who has been accused of "ripping off" one of Beyonce's most iconic looks during her AMA performance.Things are getting pretty heated between the two fanbases...
But I must admit, the similarities of the performances are uncanny. Yikes.Before her solo career, we all knew Beyonce from Destiny's Child.

The original line up consisted of Beyoncé, of course, along with LaTavia Roberson, Kelly Rowland, and LeToya Luckett, although the final and best-known line up consisted of Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams.The group brought us several smash hits in their time...

Songs such as "Survivor," "Say My Name," "Independent Woman," and "Bootylicious" cemented the group's position as one of pop's most famous girl groups.However, in 2002, Beyoncé broke away from her girl group singing roots to focus her solo career.

Though other members of the group tried their hand at going solo too, Beyoncé has by far been the most successful. After all, she is the most nominated woman, and the second-most awarded woman, in Grammy history, with a staggering twenty-three awards and sixty-six nominations from the Grammy Awards alone, to date.The singer went from strength to strength...

And, today, she stands as one of the most successful and iconic female artists of all time.Music aside, she's also known for her marriage to rapper, Jay-Z.
The power couple, who share 3 children together, got married in 2008 and, much to fans' delight, recorded a highly-anticipated joint album together called "Everything is Love" last year.But there's one more thing the singer is known for...

And that's her heritage. Beyoncé is known for having African ancestry, with her father being African-American and her mother being African-American, Native-American, and French.The singer has been known to adopt aspects of African culture in her fashion choices in the past...
And she has even discussed her heritage in candid interviews.It turns out that the singer has done quite a bit of research into her ancestry...
And she revealed that she recently discovered that her family line links back to slavery. “I researched my ancestry recently and learned that I come from a slave owner who fell in love with and married a slave," she said in a 2018 interview with The Guardian.It was a lot for the singer to take in...
But she now believes that this ancestry is the reason she had her twins. “I had to process that revelation over time. I questioned what it meant and tried to put it into perspective. I now believe it’s why God blessed me with my twins. Male and female energy was able to coexist and grow in my blood for the first time. I pray that I am able to break the generational curses in my family and that my children will have less complicated lives."But nonetheless, the singer has always been proud of her African roots.
And her music video for "Black Is King" also reflected that.The initial trailer consisted of Beyonce "appreciating" her heritage.
From visuals to a stunning monologue, it seems as though she had meticulously planned every second of the video before releasing it.Even though it did stir up some controversy initially...
It was praised for its high levels of appreciation for the traditional African culture, including the outfits and the accessories.And that's what Queen B is about... Always presenting us with iconic looks.
But recently, her fans had to jump to the singer's defense after watching Jennifer Lopez's performance at the AMAs.Even though she sang 2 of her new hits, it seems as though no one could focus on the music...
Instead, the Beyhive (a collective name given to Beyonce's fans) were too focused on what she was wearing on stage."Why?" I hear you ask.
Well, because apparently, it was a literal copy of Beyonce's "Drunk in Love" outfit which she wore at the Grammys in 2014.And I must admit, the resemblance is pretty uncanny...
Keep scrolling to have a look at the comparison pictures yourself.Queen B's fans furiously jumped on J-Lo, which inevitably started a war on social media.
