Beyonce's Destiny's Child bandmate Michelle Williams didn't tweet congratulations to the singer on the birth of her first baby Blue Ivy Carter, leading some fans to see it as a lack of support, calling Williams a b----.

B----, YOU BETTER CONGRATULATE YOUR KING ON GIVING BIRTH TO HER CHILD. (Unbelievable), a Twitter user wrote to Williams.

But the former Destiny's Child member didn't stay mum for long after all the badgering and criticism. She responded to fans noting that she was too close to the Love on Top singer to offer her congratulations via social media.

Let's get ONE thing straight....I do NOT have to say congrats to someone when they're NOT on twitter...ESPECIALLY when I talk or email them all the time....or when I'll be physically present as well...so harrassing and stalking my timeline to see if I've mentioned something is POINTLESS!!! Williams tweeted in response. My friendship with people aren't always for twitter display. Respect that and get a LIFE!!! Enjoy this FINE day!!! God bless!!!!

But Williams didn't stop there.

She followed up that tweet with another stating that This is a beautiful, precious, private time between two people and excitement is to be expected but NOT disrespect! #churchdismissed.

Beyonce's @beyonce Twitter handle has more than 2.5 million followers yet she has never tweeted once. She also follow only 10 people, which include her sister Solange Knowles, Williams and her other former bandmate Kelly Rowland.
