Some social media users have accused Beyoncé of acting rudely toward Kelly Rowland by cutting her out of a picture posted in memory of Aaliyah on what would have been the late singer's 35th birthday Thursday.

Beyoncé posted on Instagram a picture of her and Aaliyah, who died in a tragic plane crash on Aug. 25, 2001, with the caption, "God bless baby girl."

Fans noticed that just hours before, Destiny's Child group member Kelly Rowland posted the same picture, which originally included her. Rowland added the caption, "We love you Aaliyah."

Fans reacted to the alleged diss and commented on both Beyoncé and Rowland's pictures.

One wrote, "The reason [Beyoncé] cropped Kelly is because it has nothing to do with her message! Her message is that she missed her angel, Aaliyah! So she wanted to focus the attention on Aaliyah."

Another Instagram user responded, "If she wanted to focus on Aaliyah, she should have just made a picture with just her."

A third fan wrote, "Now that I've seen the full picture I just caught the shade!" while another implied Beyoncé had ulterior motives and meant to diss Rowland, saying, "Beyoncé is not dumb she knows exactly what she's doing. And...[she's] been doing it for years and look where it's gotten her."

A video surfaced in December of the Destiny's Child group members where it appeared that Beyoncé threw jabs at Rowland even back in the day. The group was doing an interview in which Rowland introduced herself as "the second lead vocalist" of the group.

Beyoncé and former Destiny's Child member Letoya Luckett both got wide-eyed and sent her the side eye look before Beyoncé coughed dramatically. Take a look at the video below:
