Baby got backlash.
Blake Lively is in hot water over a recent Instagram caption where she quotes a Sir Mix-A-Lot lyric from the '90s hit "Baby Got Back." The lyric, "L.A. face with an Oakland booty," paired with a photo of Lively at Cannes Film Festival, has social media claiming the white actress is being racial insensitive.
Lively's post was seemingly to highlight her new curves, due to her pregnancy. Her Instagrams are usually brimming with puns and goofy captions, but many believed this one took it too far.
DON'T @blakelively idc HOW gentrified Oakland is becoming, you are not qualified! twitter.com/kidfury/status…
Not sure what's grosser, the "LA face with an Oakland booty" caption or that someone would write that abt themselvesinstagram.com/p/BFhx9lGR4Jj/…
@thinkovision Also, LA is 47.5% Latin@ so "LA face" doesn't mean what Blake Lively thinks it means.
@blakelively you obviously use social media so maybe now you can tell us why you got married on a slave plantation
Of course, the conversation went both ways, with fans defending the star for simply quoting a popular song.

Lively seems to continue to stand by the image, leaving it and the caption on her Instagram page.
The actress also recently came under fire at Cannes for defending Woody Allen, saying the director — who has previously been accused of sexual assault — is "empowering to women." Lively appears in Allen's new film, Café Society.
