Singer-songwriter Erykah Badu is seemingly accusing Bey of copying one of her signature pieces…a (very) tall, brimmed, metallic hat. Badu posted a photo (left) to her story of Beyoncé’s latest tour outfit saying, “Hmm,” then followed it by posting a photo of herself (right) with the very similar accessory. Badu wrote, “I guess I’m everybody stylist.”
