Watch Lily Allen's "Drag Cover" of Beyonce's "Drunk in Love"
Not long after revealing hopes that her song "Sheezus" would produce a hot catchphrase like Beyonce's "Drunk in Love" did, Lily Allen paid tribute to Bey in a recent concert. Donning a blonde bob wig and black bikini reminiscent to the "Drunk in Love" video, Allen lip synced to the single while offering Beyonce-esque hip swerving and booty poppin' at London club G-A-Y.
But apparently not everyone saw it as a fun cover. Some fans and outlets called out the British songbird for mocking Beyonce. "I never see Beyonce trying to down play another artist," a Twitter user wrote, prompting Allen to ask, "Why do you think I was playing down another artist, when, where? Show me."
Allen explained the situation in a series of tweets:
