K. Michelle responds to Beyonce's new music and accusations that Queen Bey is ... trends now

K. Michelle is refusing to be pitted against Beyoncé after fans took to social media to express concern over her mental state following news that superstar is dropping a country album.

In response to a tweet asking if 'anyone checked on' her amid the excitement over the 42-year-old Halo hitmaker's upcoming record, the singer, 41, who made her  country music debut back in 2022, denied having any concerns over Beyoncé entering the genre. 

'Why would anyone need to check on me. I’m one of the greatest African American country singers of all times with no album even out,' she replied. 

The musician added: 'Y'all been mentioning me ALL night. I’m just happy to be spoke about in my genre. I love Bey and will be supporting her like I always do❤️❤️.' 

Michelle, whose new stage name is Puddin, released her first country song, Scooch, two years ago. 

She has been hard at work on her first country album, which is expected to be released this year. 

In November, she and Jelly Roll received rave reviews of their at the rendition of The Judds’ ‘Love Can Build A Bridge at the 57th Annual Country Music Association Awards. 

Over the weekend, Beyonce announced a new county music album during the Verizon Super Bowl ad.

Her longtime troll Azealia Banks quickly slammed the mother-of-three on Instagram as she predicted the 32-time Grammy winner of setting herself up to be ridiculed. 

'Them critics are not just going to accept an ugly blond wig and , bullying from jay-z !!! It's giving big time musical grift. Yes black girls can make country music... but you're just really not hitting the button,' Banks fired.

She added: 'Beyoncé please stop the madness. The gay baiting, the overtly narcissistic attempts to lazily encroach into a genre *you think* your popularity is gonna gain accolades for you in... You're looking like food sis. You will gag when k Michelle tears it.;

Back in 2018 Banks accused Beyonce of stealing her choreography, stealing from other female artists and being a ‘regular b***h’.

Azealia said in her Instagram tirade: ‘I realized that my ex dancer Ashanti choreographed for Beyoncé and stole the original choreography @gypjaq made for count contessa.’

‘Beyoncé needs to get over herself and just hire me ‘cause even though Coachella was cute…it was still more of the same.’

She went on to say ‘Beyoncé loves to push this female empowerment s**t but is just ALWAYS trying to steal from talented women and outdo them…but she really never does.’

Azealia added: ‘I really hope she gets real with herself soon and humbles herself enough to accept the visions and full projects women who admire her put together FOR HER.

‘Like we don’t need any more Beyoncé thot moments. No one needs Beyoncé doing [outfit of the days] like she’s some up and coming fashion toast b***h. I have NO CLUE why she wants to be a regular b***h.

‘It makes me sad.’

 On Sunday, Beyonce surprised fans by teasing forthcoming new music in a Verizon Super Bowl ad — for which she reportedly received a $30million payout.

The  icon — who attended the big game alongside other notable stars — moved through various personas in the minute-long commercial, attempting to 'break the internet' with over-the-top performances.

It comes after days earlier the phone company teased the singer's appearance in the advert with two brief bits shared on social media.

In one clip, actor Tony Hale squeezed lemons behind a lemonade stand and said: 'Hold up, she wants me to squeeze all these
