| Kelis fumed over Pharrell giving Beyonce a sample without her permission. |
Pop singer Kelis is feuding with Beyonce and Pharrell Williams. The singer is fuming over Queen Bey using a sample and never credited her. It will certainly rile up the BeyHive.
Kelis is best known for her one-hit wonder single Milkshake.
The singer had some choice words for Bey and her former mentor.
Kelis went to social media on July 27 to voice her grievances after news surfaced that "Energy," a song off Beyoncé's seventh studio album Renaissance, featured a sample of her 2003 single "Milkshake." When a Kelis fan page shared a post about the sample on Instagram, the 42-year-old didn't hold back her thoughts in the comments section.
"My mind is blown too because the level of disrespect and utter ignorance of all 3 parties involved is astounding," she wrote. "I heard about this the same way everyone else did. Nothing is ever as it seems, some of the people in this business have no soul or integrity and they have everyone fooled."

| Not phased. |
Kelis said that Beyoncé "should have at least reached out" to her about sampling her song. "It's not about me being jealous. Jealous of someone using my song? That's the dumbest, most ignorant thing I've ever heard," she said. "It has to do with the fact that, from one artist to another, you should have the decency and common sense and the courtesy to call."
She went on to say that she does not consider "Energy" to be a collab because "the definition of collaboration means that we are working together."
"There's no working together if you are not even checking to see if everything's cool," she added. "That's a problem."
The BeyHive is a relentless group of trolls highly supportive of Beyonce and will defend her aggressively.
My question to you: Does Kelis have a point when it comes to unlicensed sampling of music?
