Kim Kardashian caused a minor stir Wednesday when she posted a photo in a golden bikini that seemed to reference Smash Mouth's 1999 hit "All Star."

Alongside two mirror photos of her in a golden bikini, Kardashian wrote, "All that glitters is gold," a phrase that also appears in the song.

The post came only days after the band's former frontman, Steve Harwell, died following liver failure.

Some commenters found the post insensitive in light of Harwell's death.

On Instagram, Kardashian was called "shallow" and "tone deaf" in her comments section.

"Kim the smash mouth guy just died," one comment read. "Take this down."

The band, however, didn't seem to mind Kardashian's reference, quoting her X post and adding the next words of the song, "only shooting stars."

In comments below Smash Mouth's post, the band agreed with other comments that the post was not insensitive.

"people saying "too soon" really didn't know steve and it shows lol," said one commenter.

"exactly," responded the band's account, alongside the "100" emoji.
