Count Keyshia Cole among those who aren't digging Beyoncé's new song.

"Can't stand when people all self righteous when it's convenient it makes them look good. Lmao! But can still talk s--t when convenient 2 FOH," the Woman to Woman artist tweeted upon the release of Bey's latest single, "Bow Down/I Been On." On the track, Blue Ivy's mom sings, "I know when you were little girls you dreamt of being in my world. Don't forget it. Respect that. Bow down, bitches."

And, though immediately faced with a swarm of offended denizens of the "BeyHive," Cole kept going.

"I done kept it real from the start! #RespectTHAT," she also wrote. Then: "First "Women need to Stick together" now bitches better Bow. Smh. But it's all G! Chicks stay shooting the shit. But when I speak my mind its a prob. #Well #StayMad."

Comments from the pro-Beyoncé peanut gallery ranged from"U need a hit record ASAP!! @KeyshiaCole u bored and angry..." to @KeyshiaCole When Beyoncé sings she's Sasha Fierce though, so get ya life" and "@KeyshiaCole what's ironic is that you've been talking all that family 1st/God shit for a minute, but then pull the same shit... lol."

"Bitch you ain't gon need NO more perm kits. The #BeyHive bouta snatch you BALD !!! @KeyshiaCole," tweeted another concerned fan.

"Never said there was any. IM not in denial... God Bless RT @_BEYHive: @KeyshiaCole fuck yo unity," Cole fired back.

Cole also tweeted: "How am i hating? no Mamm or sir. whatever u may be. No H8 RT @GothamsKnight_: damn @KeyshiaCole hating on everybody."

The "Trust and Believe" singer also drew the ire of Destiny's Child fans when she slammed Michelle Williams for "f--king the groove up" during their Super Bowl performance.

"I don't care what anybody else says," Williams later told Bilboard. "I don't let it get me down. It was a beautiful thing."
