Bow down.

Suit-loving singer Janelle Monáe had the perfect response to a Twitter critic who criticized her fashion choices as being "too damn soulful."

"Girl stop being so soulful and be sexy..tired of those dumbass suits..you fine but u too damn soulful man. 😒😢," he wrote in a since-deleted tweet transcribed by Buzzfeed.

Early Monday, the 29-year-old star responded.

In case the Twitter troll didn't know, there is a sentiment behind Monáe's staple style.

"It's a dedication to uniformity and I'm a minimalist by heart," she told The Huffington Post back in 2013, "but a lot of it had to do with me wanting to have a uniform like the working class, like my mom and my grandmother."

Does it get any fiercer? Nope.
