Beyoncé made the world stop once again when she and husband Jay-Z released their joint album Everything Is Love unexpectedly on Saturday afternoon.

But despite the initial shock of an album drop and a new music video filmed in the Louvre (yes, that Louvre), these weren't the only surprises Queen Bey blessed us with. She also took time from her busy schedule to lightly roast her husband's former adversary, the rapper Nas, via Twitter like.

While folks were busy creating new email addresses to sign up for free trials of Tidal, Beyoncé – or someone with access to her Twitter account – appears to have been lurking through online reactions to the album.

In a rare move for the artist, she liked and then quickly un-liked one tweet in particular. Naturally, fans captured screenshots.

The tweet in question? A tweet from @sagemyster featuring an old image of Nas staring at a laptop, captioned "'...how they upload the album so fast, yo?'"

Some background: In the early 2000s, Nas and Jay-Z had a longstanding feud. While they have since settled their differences, folks immediately theorized -- through memes and commentary -- that Jay and Bey intentionally dropped their album this weekend to distract from Nas's Nasir, which dropped June 15 and is his first album in six years.

It doesn't hurt that Nasir was executive produced by Kanye West, who's had an iffy relationship with the Carter family as of late.

The image included in the tweet Beyoncé liked -- first shared by Nas himself in 2014 -- circulated online over the weekend after a significant delay between the listening party for the rapper's new album and its actual arrival on streaming services.

Beyoncé's like, accidental or not, just added more fire to the jokes.

Beware of what you tweet, BeyHive. Beyoncé's always watching.
