They say that art is in the eye of the beholder. That seems to be exactly the issue for Britney Spears' and Beyonce's fan bases.
On Instagram earlier this week, Britney shared a picture of a painting that showed a bee with a crown, a photo that unintentionally ended up pitting the Britney Army and the Beyhive against each other.
"To all my fans who call me Queen 👑 B," Brit captioned the photo. "I believe this would be more accurate." The pop star also added several bee emojis.
The photo didn't sit well with Beyonce's fans, who staunchly believe that the "Lemonade" singer is the only person worthy of that title.

"BEYONCE GISELLE KNOWLES-CARTER is THE ONLY QUEEN B," one person wrote. Others voiced similar stinging opinions. Many, naturally, backed Britney, claiming she is B royalty.
For the better part of two days, each fan base was swarming and attacking the other via the comments section of Britney's Instagram.

With fans buzzing, the painter of the picture, a woman named Jenna Paddey, attempted to clear up confusion by admitting that neither woman was the inspiration for the painting.
Jenna told TMZ that the illustration was done in 2018, and it was only intended to reflect a play on words for the phrase, "queen bee." She doesn't know how Britney stumbled upon the two-year-old picture, but the pop star did eventually tag Jenna in the Instagram post.
While posting a picture of the painting to Instagram in January 2018, Jenna made no reference to either woman in her caption.
