00:00 Beyoncé's upcoming album Cowboy Carter has already ignited a firestorm even before its

00:04 release thanks to some very, very good looking cover art.

00:08 And when Erykah Badu threw some shade at Beyoncé's braided hairstyle and beaded bangs, her team

00:12 couldn't wait to clap back.

00:14 Beyoncé's longstanding publicist Yvette took to Instagram to show a whole montage

00:18 of Beyoncé rocking braids over the years, captioning it with a defiant #CriticsWithoutCredentials.

00:24 Now this controversy centers around Beyoncé's album cover, where she's posing in the nude.

00:29 Adorned with a sash and a stache that kinda resembles the Statue of Liberty.

00:33 And she's also holding a lit cigarette.

00:35 So as debate rages, Badu even hilariously brought Jay Z into the mix, but Beyoncé stays

00:40 unshaken, using the backlash as fuel for her artistic expression.

00:44 So with Cowboy Carter set to drop on March 29th, one question looms.

00:48 How will this album redefine genre boundaries and race perceptions in music?
