The 34-year-old singer released the album on April 23 to the delight of her loyal fanbase, and it has received widespread attention since then.

The same fans who praised the album recently took issue with phrases posted on Chick-fil-A message boards claiming that the restaurant's lemonade is "fresher than Beyonce's."

Another sign read: "Sorry, Beyonce, our lemonade is better!"

Beyonce fans quickly responded in disagreement. Many people posted icons of bumblebees and lemons in the comments sections of photos on Instagram of the Chick-fil-A boards.

Why did ChickFilA put up a sign saying their lemonade is fresher than Beyoncé's? They don't know what they are getting themselves into

Let's give #ChickFilA a B for effort in that failed attempt to use Beyoncé to market their lemonade

Other people avoided the Chick-fil-A/"Lemonade" feud, focusing instead on the quality of the chicken chain's drink.

no other lemonade compares to @ChickfilA except maybe Beyonce's
