Get in formation, Beyhive! Beyonce just dropped a remix version of "America Has A Problem" with none other than - Kendrick Lamar!
However, some Beyonce fans are not on board with the recent addition of Lamar in the well-loved "Renaissance" song.
'America Has A Problem' Remix With Kendrick Lamar
Listed as the fourteenth track on Beyonce's latest album, "Renaissance," "America Has A Problem" is one of the few tracks on the album that has been well-loved by fans despite not being a lead single.
Beyonce performed "America Has A Problem" at the Renaissance Tour. Notably, she performed it as literally the Queen Bee behind a news show bench.
Now, the song gets a huge addition with Lamar getting in the mix.
In some parts of his new verse, Kendrick considered himself an "honorary Beyhive," among many others.
But perhaps one of the most notable references made by the rap titan was a jab at cloning artists by artificial intelligence.
"Hold up, wait a minute, Even AI gotta practice cloning Kendrick," he rapped on the song. "The double entendre, the encore remnants, I bop like tin men, the opps need ten men."
The released cover art for the song features the United States of America flag made up of bullets - a seeming poignant ode to the country's ongoing problem with gun violence.
But before the song was even released, Beyhive hoped it wasn't Kendrick Lamar who hopped in the song's remix.

'America Has A Problem' AI Cover With Rihanna, Nicki Minaj
A video snippet of "America Has A Problem" went viral online which surprised many because it featured a version with other music queens like Rihanna and Nicki Minaj.
Of course, the collaboration wasn't all true, as it was only an AI cover. However, it was a good one as Minaj and RIhanna's voices were prominently heard as if it really happened.
The presumably fan-made AI cover was driven by collective anticipation of a Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, and Beyonce collaboration project - an ambitious mega record that includes all three music legends.
Beyhive Hates Kendrick Lamar?
Aside from the fans' preference for having RiRi and Nicki on the record, fans also thought that putting Kendrick Lamar on the project was quite ironic, especially after he said some gender slurs on one of his tracks in "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers."
One fan expressed their confusion online, noting that it was ironic putting Lamar who uttered the discriminating gender slur on "Auntie Diaries" in a rather queer-centered album by Beyonce. Check out the tweet and the fan conversations below:
