Don’t mess with the Beyhive.

Lululemon was probably just trying to be cheeky when the Vancouver-based brand took to Twitter to comment on their supposed similarity to Beyonce’s new activewear line. But it backfired in a major way.

As Cosmopolitan first pointed out, Beyonce fans quickly jumped to the star’s defence and Lululemon started backtracking before deleting that initial tweet.

@mdmcgeary No harm or foul was meant by this. We’re huge fans of hers.

So, what’s the lesson here? Beyonce is a queen. And you don’t mess with royalty.
