Kelis Responded After Reports Claimed Beyoncé Removed Her Sample From “Renaissance” After Kelis Called It “Theft”

If not, Kelis basically called out Beyoncé for using a sample of “Milkshake” on the song “Energy” from Beyoncé’s new album Renaissance, saying she did so without her permission. She also spoke out against Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo of the Neptunes — who reportedly created and produced “Milkshake” — since they appeared to be the ones who cleared the sample.
