Beyoncé announced her new activewear line, Ivy Park, today. The Beyhive has been freaking out all morning, and now they're freaking out on Lululemon.

The Canadian athleisure brand responded to someone on Twitter who asked, "Is ivy park supposed to be like lululemon?"

@GoodGuySly They do say imitation is the best form of flattery. Maybe Beyonce is so Crazy In Love with our brand, she made her own.

It didn't take long for Lululemon to realize what a terrible mistake it had made.

@sailorpandaxo No harm meant, we're big fans.

@AbzSalmeron We hear you, thanks for calling us out.

For one thing, no sane person would take on the hive. For another, not even Lululemon owns the idea of athleisure and activewear.

If you want to see more of Beyoncé's designs, she also covered Elle today. Now, let's hold a moment of silence for Lululemon before the Beyhive puts it out of business. We've reached out to the brand for comment and will update when we hear back.

@lululemon ugh lulu... Don't talk about bey like that

@lululemon In what world does Ivy Park look like your basic ass overpriced yoga pants? Get over yourselves.

Update: Lululemon has officially taken down its incendiary tweet.

@MikelleStreet We hear you, and it's been deleted.

You can still see it here:

This has not stopped the Beyhive from turning the brand's mentions into complete rubble.

@lululemon You might as well file for bankruptcy now. It's over for you. https://t.co/LxdzsjGSdE
