Commenting on the Swedish singer's video that dropped Friday, the ex-porn star wrote, "Cheap. Lazy, Straight up copy. How are you not embarrassed to be this unoriginal?"
The clip cuts to Khalifa putting serum on her hands while saying, "What we are gonna do is stan the original," before moving on to a scene from Chater’s 2018 video for single "Hourglass."
"Remember her name and put some respect on it," Khalifa commented on Chater’s video.
"Not all Swedes are cool anymore anyways, Stan @alicemusic for walking so these basics could run," Khalifa wrote on her post.

Meanwhile, despite the criticism, the singer and her fans seemed to appreciate what Khalifa, who has a massive 21.1 million followers, did because it helped promote Larsson's video, which currently has over 240,000 views on YouTube.
"We love a good promo," Larsson, the singer Khalifa shaded, commented.
"Very nice of mia khalifa to promo love me land to 21 million people though what a queen! xx," one wrote on Twitter.
"Mia Khalifa posting Zara’s song to her 21 million followers, we won," another fan of Larsson wrote.
"I did not expect mia khalifa to shade zara larsson but it's 2020," @reactlipa wrote.
Meanwhile, another fan defended Larsson and shared snaps of the singer performing the same moves back in 2013 in her "Bad Boys" music video.
"COS ZARA MADE such A VIDEO 6 YEARS AGOOOO! BAD BOYS! @miakhalifa so before you judge someone u dunno anyth. bout: go and check on urself! Also thx for promoting LML," @dwbNina wrote.
Reddit users also commented on Khalifa shading Larsson for allegedly copying Chater's music video. However, not everyone agreed with Khalifa's observation, pointing out that two videos appeared very different from each other.
"1. They’re not similar. 2. She is too old to be acting like this," one person commented.
"My exact thoughts. She's been a little big-headed lately tbh. I understand she's been through some s—t, but like seriously? What's her experience in music?" another commenter wrote.
Meanwhile, others called out Khalifa for posting about Larsson's music video but not addressing BangBros' recent statement debunking her claims, including her stint in the adult industry and the money she received from them.
"So she can post about this but won’t acknowledge the bangbros receipts of her lying about everything re: her time in porn? oh," one person wrote.
Some Twitter users called Khalifa "liar" after Bang Bros released a statement refuting the ex-porn star's claims that she only got paid $12,000 for 11 videos she shot and that she was only in the industry for three months, among many others. Some of Khalifa's fans also urged her to address it, but she has remained mum.
