Britney Spears and Beyonce fans are bickering over who is the real Queen B for no good reason … so says the artist whose painting ignited the whole beef.
Here’s the deal … Britney kicked the Beyhive Wednesday when she posted a painting of a bee with a crown and said, “To all my fans who call me Queen ? B …. I believe this would be more accurate.”
Naturally, Britney’s post sent Bey fans into a tizzy, and the hive sounded off by the thousands, letting Brit know there’s only one Queen B in their eyes — and she’s from Houston.
Not to be a buzzkill, but Jenny Paddey, the artist who painted the image, says neither Britney nor Beyonce was her inspiration.
Jenny tells us she painted the illustration in 2018, and it was only intended to reflect a play on words for the phrase, “queen bee.” She says she’s not sure how Britney came across her work — she does sell prints on her website — but only found out about the IG post when friends started tagging her in comments.
For the record, Jenny’s not picking sides in the Great Bey-Brit Fan War of 2020 … smart. She just appreciates the buzz her art’s getting from the debate.
