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 racially insensitive.

Lively's post was seemingly to highlight her new curves, due to her pregnancy. While her Instagrams have always been brimming with puns and goofy captions, many believed this one took it too far.

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.
