It's Beyoncé's world, we just live in it. We tell you the biggest songs on TikTok, we hang out with Karol G, we talk about Shakira's iconic career, and we take you to see Bruce Springsteen. It's Thursday, March 21. I'm Tetris and this is Billboard News. I'm very excited about 'Cowboy Carter' and I'm clearly not the only one. So, let's get into some Beyoncé news. 'Cowboy Carter' is one of the most anticipated albums of 2024. But this new era is bothering some people. Beyoncé already has a number one song from her new album 'Cowboy Carter' and it doesn't even come out until next week. But after revealing the name of the album, the inspiration behind the project, and an alternate cover, some other artists are questioning Queen Bey. Erykah Badu shared Bey's alternate cover on IG with the caption “hm,” which seems to imply that she copied Badu's propensity for sporting similar braids. He recently wore the same style on a red carpet and in a promotion. After the Beyhive found out, Erykah took to Twitter and told Jay Z, 'Say something Jay, are you going to let this woman and these bees do this to me?' Jay-Z didn't respond. But Beyoncé's publicist Yvette seems to have acknowledged it, sharing a B slideshow of her with braided hairstyles throughout her decades-long career. Erykah Badu isn't the only artist who takes issue with Beyoncé's new era.
