Swizz Beatz is blasting Balenciaga for a specific shirt that's a part of the label's Spring/Summer 2018 collection.

This shirt has a repeated "B" print that looks extremely similar to the Ruff Ryders "R" logo. Swizz wasn't feeling this blatant disrespectful and publicly slammed the high fashion label on Instagram. In a couple IG posts, the hip hop producer went in.

"@balenciaga we must have a talk about this Ruff Ryder shirt ASAP πŸ€” Dapper Dan with Gucci now this πŸ€” thoughts ?????? Blessings," Swizz captioned the first photo of the shirt. In a second post, Swizz continued: "This is the Ruff Ryders original version from 2000πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€  @balenciaga @vetements_official πŸ€”πŸ‘€ what are we doing??? Call me back blessings . I Might just want you to open up a fashion school in the bronx or harlem πŸ€”Just so you can give back to the culture !πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½ thoughts ????"

Take a look at Swizz's IG posts -- one with the Balenciaga print and another with the Ruff Ryders logo -- below.
