She has stated that the Neptune’s get all the profits from her first two albums. I’m sure she signed a crappy deal in the beginning like so many stars do. 

I did not know that. Thanks

Kelis is fantastic, and she's a nice woman. If she pops off like this it's only because she has a point.

Beyonce sampled Big Freeda and show me love in one song and it is not even that good. Be Alive is not that good. Beyonce is such a copycat and rude for not letting Kelis know. 

[Adriannn]

She has the right to have a little nod from Bey. But c'mon, I guess that people freak out just because it's Beyoncé we are talking about. Cases where people don't even pay take place and no one says anything 

Stream '4th of July' for a stronger immune system.

[K-man]

Beyoncé was inspired by Kelis. Whenever beyonce is caught stealing or coping another artist she used the excuse that she was inspired by them. She has been inspired by MANY artist and she doesn’t not give credit

[KrisJ]

Beyoncé the FRAUD at it again - once a thief, always a thief. Overrated and untalented wretch 

[Isla]

Yikes

[PablitoXS]

It's very simple to me, she doesn't own the song = Beyoncé doesn't have to ask her anything.

[Britneylandia]

She’s totally right lol.

[ObsessedBritFan1]

I hope Kelis gets a couple of more replays after this.

I loved the album, but it's the truth. The Beyhive can say whatever about not being Beyonce's issue, but she has been in the game for more than 20 years and she can't be ignorant. Yes, it's not illegal, The Neptunes hold Kelis' masters and Pharrell needs to be the one held accountable, but when you see this from an ethic perspective (and no, i'm not naive to know that the music industry is messy), this is also coming from one of the most political artists of her generation (ST and Lemonade), she at least should've spoken to her about using a song. Kelis is both a songwriter and a producer and has created a great discography that plenty of other artists are inspired.  At least they should respect that. 

I don't think this will be a huge controversy, but it makes me cackle that Beyonce after all these years can never leave behind the "robbery" allegations.

Them “milkshake” royalties are running out 

[icybaby]

Beyonce was too cool to reach out i guess. But also i think it is record companies who should deal with things like music rights and etc be4 the product goes on sale

[Markoct]

This womans work has been used without permission (stolen) and people are still siding with Beyonce. 'Blind sheeps' is correct Kelis.

[LeglessJamie]

Thiefoncé strikes again!

I swear nothing about this woman is authentic. She's a blatant thief.

I do love how she is not scared to stand up for herself. Pharrell owns all her music and it’s sad 

But she was literally sitting down
