Kelis seems to blast Beyoncé for sampling her on Bey’s upcoming ‘Renaissance’ album
Rub! Beyoncé’s new album isn’t out yet but it’s already rocking! Bey recently released a list of artists that will be sampled in ‘Renaissance’, and it doesn’t look like Kelis is here for it. Apparently, Kelis is being sampled on a track called ‘Energy’, and claims she hasn’t been informed about it.
A fan Instagram page posted about the sample, to which the ‘Milkshake’ singer responded with a message of disrespect.
My mind is also blown away because the level of disrespect and complete ignorance on the part of all 3 parties involved is astounding. I heard about this the same way everyone else did. Nothing is ever as it seems, some people in this business have no soul or integrity and they have been misled by people. “
Although Kelis didn’t directly name Beyoncé in the comment, it appears she did name the artists and producers involved in the project, because she didn’t tell her about the model.
As comments started appearing on social media, users on Black Twitter started sharing their opinions on the topic! While some fans were confused about Kelis’ anger, others sided with her.
Beyoncé can drop the name Kelis. Instead, Bey included Kelis’s name in the list of sample credits. Some picks don’t deserve the good stuff. Kelis doesn’t own his owner. TRUTH. Kelis needs 2 to deal with her misplaced anger at her old company. #Renaissance coming, Kelis is a…. pic.twitter.com/fuzf5ewllS

People are making fun of Kelis and trying to invalidate her affections. But any person would be annoyed to see their work as an artist constantly being stolen or not getting credit. Like, yes, The Neptunes owns her owners. But that’s the whole point. They exploit and steal from her.
