Nobody "hates Kelis". Ya'll can love Bey to the moon and back, but you can't negate Kelis' feelings, which are clearly more directed at Pharrell and Chad. This has been spoken about for years, without resolve. She's honest and transparent. Can't be mad at her for speaking her truth.
Sounds like she wants the music industry; especially people of color, to move and do business with integrity. I would get annoyed too if every few years I’m getting disrespected. She’s been outspoken since day one, maybe one day she’ll get what’s due to her…. #respect.
Jeni Michelle: integrity is dead tho. Cults of personality are springing UP all over the place and folks swear if someone speaks up on something, they doing it for CLOUT or that chasing the Bag is all that matters and not morals or code of conduct. Look what a bunch of brainwashed folks did in DC, killing police officers they claim to have supported with "Blue Lives Matters" when it was a different situation. It's over, been over Big Tech got folks in a choke hold and it won't change, because these folks Kelis and others who advocate for themselves because they didn't when younger aren't doing it for the principle. Some don't know what doing it for the principle even means, they only understand the language of doing it for the bag. She owns farm, some millions, sure who wouldn't more, but she does food, music, programming, and that's what SHE CHOSE to do was live off the grid. Folks will vilify her no matter what.
Exactly I lived it for a long time and people be like well you this and that you would do this you just don't know how bad it is you got to be really doggy dog like you got to be a beast to really make it in this industry for real for real if you're not doing it in a way where your parents and all that is involved
Nah... ain't no need of her being in the business and being bitter she should have took her money and got a lawyer. Nobody put a gun to her head to sign on the dotted line
She's blaming Beyonce for Pharrell stealing her music. If the roles were reversed Kelis wouldn't be to blame. If someone stole something from you, you can't blame me for it. That's life and reality, last but not least Whitney Houston sung Dolly Parton song I will always love you. Dolly Parton said she initially heard the song on the radio. Did we hear anything negatively?
Kelis hasn't been as iconic since leaving The Neptunes because she helped actualise THEIR sound. Kelis is just mad that she has all her best musical days to Pharrell. She was even liking tweets saying Rihanna stole from her as well. Her album came out 20 years ago. If she wanted to take them to court and sue them, she's had more than enough time.
@@KairoK you're right hey, she's just hurting and probably thought someone like Beyoncé would never use her songs knowingly what the Neptunes did to her, you know Beyoncé being all about “black women empowerment”
Despite the fact that she was 19, I do legit think she was taken advantaged of. She may have signed the contract but she did it in good faith considering she was working with people she thought were her friends and the idea of being scammed probably didn’t register. So yea I understand why she’s angry. On another note, her Album “Food” is probably one of the greatest records I’ve ever hears
Despite the mistake on her part, we have to admit the music industry is set up to keep most artists at the bottom of the totem pole. It's happened so many times but many will overlook it if their faves are the ones doing it.
“Good faith”. Didn’t she grow up in an unhappy upbringing? Was she THAT naive? I wouldn’t trust anything if I had to have her upbringing. Pharrell and Chad are definitely wrong for what they did of course but Kelis definitely should’ve watched the signs. Most artists sign on “good faith”. That’s the problem right there. The music industry is shady. Didn’t they learn from Q-Tip???
Kelis isn’t saying anything new here. She’s been speaking out about the shady industry for years. I think the audience automatically just sides with the popular artist because they feel the popular ones can’t do wrong and that’s false. The beef shouldn’t be directly towards Beyoncé but she gets no slap on the wrist. Beyoncé has been called out for years for taking other musicians materials. EVERYBODY CAN’T BE LYING ON HER. The beehive is just as delusional and the Barbz. But Pharrell’s the biggest shadester. it’s him who’s the problem. This is why more and more artist today are going independent.
@@Mya_water here we go with the peanut gallery. Too many of you exist and it’s exhausting. The fact that you think standing up behind morality is associated with being a Kelis stan is comical. It has nothing to do with standing for Kelis, ain’t nobody picking sides. It’s morality. It seems you know nothing about that. Weather it’s Kelis, Azealia Banks, Tyler the Creator, Kelly Rowland, etc. it’s not right either way. The industry is shady and many artist from the 80’s and 90’s suffered from bad deals. Those are just facts. You’re just too ignorant and stuck on stupid to understand.
@@Mya_water Kelis riders? Clearly looking at your other comments, you have your armor, shield and sword ready to defend Beyoncé’s honor. You can go to hell with the rest of them. 🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾
Its mostly cuz some ppl feel well what he/she wasn't wrong. Basically they not looking at all perspectives. They mainly figure it's the victims fault. Odds are that it ain't.
Which is weird because our society has apparently woken up from victim blaming , but situations like these when a popular person ( beyonce in this case ) gets called out , that goes out the window. Seems like ppl today will ride waves of whats popular to do
@@jba414 Thank you, the thing people won't acknowledge is that every single artist we know & love sample music from back in the day. Chris Brown has a song out right now called Warm embrace. The original song was called computer love. Long story short it wasn't his music but did we call him a thief? I can name a hundred songs from many artists that sampled from different ppl.
Ashanti: this! Or even with a double standard attached to the ISH, how folks gonna act so understanding about Dave Chapelle airing out his dirty laundry with his contractual obligations to Netflix and Comedy Central but all of sudden Kelis being younger too like he was, "she shoulda known better" the HYPOCRISY is REAL AF and the gender differences in treatment is HELLA noticeable, favorites aside. YIKES.
@@williefaulker they haven't thought they'll have some Ish as a society we are aware of, and then because of social media antics, tactics, algorithms and some more iSH folks will VIRTUE signal and do other dangerous to society and creating sheep mentality ISH. It's gross.
Every time someone comes and speaks their truth about a celebrity that is Major popular like Beyoncé people want to call them haters, broke Etc.. take your blinders off, weird af!
Not just that but people are saying Kelis should’ve read the fine print, but in the very next breath will drag someone like Diddy for scamming other artists, or worse, cry about the predatory student loans THEY SIGNED when they were the same age as Kelis when she signed her contract. Like, come on now.
Nobody is calling Kelis a hater. Where do you see that in these comments? Kelis is mad at the wrong person. Beyonce got the rights from the OWNER. It's not Beyonce's fault Kelis signed a shady contract by a dude she was sleeping with. Beyonce doesn't know this woman. She doesn't have to give her credit for a song that does not legally belong to her. You all want to mad at Beyonce because she's Beyonce. Kelis was bamboozled. She needs to take that up with Pharrell.
Give that girl her shit back! They took advantage of her when she was 19 with that contract. They knew what they were doing. I'm always down for Kelis! She's genuinely authentic 💕
I have loved Kelis since 1999 in 10th grade. constant rotation on MTV2 back in the days. i got Kaleidoscope the day it came out. i met her when she opened for Britney Spears and she signed my Tasty poster. She was so sweet and beautiful. LEGEND!!⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩thank you for letting me share lol Thank you for this!
Kelis was standing up for herself the music industry did her dirty she had the potential to be a successful artist. Kelis deserves to be respected and supported for her musical talents
he may have been wrong but have you ever heard of the thing you always read everything before you sign your name on a dotted line because once you sign your name on the dotted line that's it they got you so if she would have read it before she signed it then she would have figured it out but she was all about that money not saying that they was right because you should never swindle anybody out of anything because it comes back on you. you're always supposed to read something before you sign your name to any contracts, and documents because not reading the fine print will get you every time.
thats so unfortunite that people would use her bc she was young, and steal from her now just bc they can. i feel really bad for kelis, she doesnt deserve all this crap
It’s a very hard lesson to have to learn. We all at one time in our lives trusted the wrong person to our own detriment. People pretend well so it’s best to trust only yourself!
Kelis has always been dope to me from Music to fashion. Now Pharrell has always been shady - blurred lines anyone so him throwing her under the bus is par for the course. Beyonce could have called Kelis out of respect because of artistry. And please don't get me started on Jayz - who's always taking shots at women when the beef is with another man. Nas cleared his schedule on Ether - the greatest diss track of all time (and we can fight about it. lol)
You just seem like a miserable hater. Call Kelis for what she not the Boss she don’t own shit. Only a basic ass bum ass peon would agree with Kelis because who calls the help to make decisions…
Kelis is feed up with All the disrespect towards her. What is done in the dark will come to the light. You have these industry bullies thinking they can walk over all these artists. Once their eyes 👀 are open and they realize they have been ripped off by management & fight back they have a problem with it. I hope Kelis gets back everything that is due to her. God turns ashes into beauty. She shall prevail can’t wait for it.
So can you help me understand why did over 3 dozen people sample that same exact track yet she only singled out Beyonce? Lastly dozens of artists took samples from past artists yet they don't get held to the same standard. Calling her a thief when the true villain is that creepy looking crooked thief Pharrell. She should sue him penniless in my opinion.
I love reading comments chastising these artists about signing messed up deals.....when by now I am hoping some of you have heard how many of these execs tell artists they can't have someone else look at the contract and they have to sign right there on the spot (i.e. TLC and the original member who refused to sign the contract and the group moved on with their shitty deal without her). Also from the jump these artists are broke and can't afford their own legal representation, and even if they read it themselves they don't understand "legalese" and would not be able to spot something "suspicious". Artists like Brandy and Beyonce were blessed to have parents who were already experienced in the world of business and contracts and were involved from the jump. Also information about the entertainment industry as a whole and the behind the scenes fuckery has only just become public knowledge with presence of the internet.
it has a very unique sour taste when Black ppl do this to other BP. knowing that we come from difficult circumstances chile we downtrodden. and i keep telling my relatives. Not all skin folk are kin folk.. and the one thing women should never do is smash a co-worker, no matter how convenient and delicious he looks. what's happening here is especially hard for her because he got in her panties.
You made a point and renigged...especially about people getting a lawyer, and how most artists don’t understand legal terms or even a fraction of the repercussions. But the thing that you were leaving out is something that other artists who are not signed to those labels have done, which was pause and not signing something on the spot. That’s a high pressure sales tactic, so you won’t back out because they know it’s a deal, and you’ll more than likely buckle with a 10 million dollar check in your face. You can’t say some are the victim and then at the same time make an excuse for why they don’t do what they need to do. So you agree it was her choice not to handle her business. Of course they’re broke that’s why they were scouted, it’s much easier to manipulate people who don’t have any money. That’s obvious, Hollywood and the music industry aren’t really different in that sense. But where an artist needs to be smart is not just signing anything because they’re “poor”. If they cared more about their craft and not just getting money and can be in these type of deals, that’s the true team. But most people don’t realize in order to get an artist you have to compromise certain parts of your art, they were willing to compromise their art so they can be famous. There’s no point of feeling sad for them now, they’re still famous they’re still relevant but the choices that they made, interloped with those with knowledge and better business sense, caused them not to make as much as they could have, and that’s on them. The industry is predatory but if you walk into a lions cave you can’t expect, NOT to be eaten. Be smart come in with a weapon to protect yourself. A.k.a. a lawyer that knows the industry, And will look out for you. Another thing entertainment lawyers ARE IN FACT affordable it’s called saving your money, a lot of artists probably don’t do that, but if a lot of artist would stop being right brain only and left brain a little bit they wouldn’t be in these situations. It’s easy to take advantage of somebody who’s so duplicitous.
Reminds me of that scene n making the band when Sara wanted her lawyer 2 look over the contract Piddy had given them n he had a piss fit. Even made the rest of the band gang up on her until she signed it
@@jba414 How much do you think it costs for a good lawyer who is also highly knowledgeable about the music industry ? Also, yea it's true they might work with them and arrange a later pay date but the artist's success is unknown & what if they never get the money within a certain time frame ? They might risk penalties & more. Also, these people came into the industry at a very young age with little to no knowledge about the business aspect of the industry. Even today, artists can & will get played. Business knowledge isn't a couple of days worth to understand. It takes weeks, months & even years.
Kelis went through a lot this year, losing her husband and now this, people have their breaking points and I believe this was a Suttle way of addressing the issue! Nobody is above reproach, and she shouldn't be scared to speak how she feels!
I love this channel but the title is lazy, spiteful and disingenuous. Kelis has been robbed too many times by too many people and she’s calling them out plain and simple. How does that equate to her hating everyone?
🌬️💨💨💨 She was right, "People in the industry has no soul or integrity." It's just unfortunate that she didn't find that out until it was already too late and her publishing was longgggggg gone.🤷🏽♀️
If sge had actual talent none of that would matter all these new artists independent making more money off their youtubes, shes mad shes not beyonce, why shade her soo much lol shes bitter
Kelis did the same thing that Toni Braxton did. Trusted the producers and the producers attorneys and signed a wack recording contract and come out short. The Neptunes are just flat out wrong for what they did to Kelis. Janky Janky
i always loved Kelis… she had her own sound and growing up i thought she was soooo pretty.. it sucks that people in the world just can’t do the right thing
I've always respected Kelis's artistry. She's extremely talented and I've just always loved her unique vibe, especially early on in her career. It's heartbreaking to hear all of these sad industry stories. It's as if all of the non-superstar artists that came out of the 90s and early 2000s have been done extremely wrong, taken advantage of, used up, and thrown to the curb.
She's talented but I immensely lost a lot of respect for her for what she did to NAS and their son Knight in the whole custody battle/child support award malarkey.
@@theoo149 She has a beautiful, soulful voice. If you're judging from "Milkshake" then yeah, I would think she couldn't really sing either. Listen to her first album, particularly "Caught Out There" and "Game Show." I actually don't know a lot of her discography, but I got put on to the first album about two years ago and I was shocked at how nice of a tone she has. There's some instances where she sounds somewhat similar to Sunshine Anderson. Just a nice, strong tone.
@@Mya_water Her career was pretty average, but I wouldn't say she is. She has a very unique and dope vibe about her (or at least had). She's just been forgotten by the mainstream and pop culture, so it's easy to dismiss her. She really fumbled this opportunity though. She could've became somewhat relevant again.
I absolutely love Kelis. I think her argument was valid. She didn’t seem mad to me. She seemed annoyed at the disrespect and hypocrisy. So many great artists have been messed over in the industry. Great video as usual. 💛💛💛💛
I've still never heard Chad speak to this day. I don't even know what his voice sounds like which is weird, considering that the Neptunes were such a successful duo.
Kelis simply stated what she felt. She's worked hard in the industry and got less then what she put in because of Chad and Pharrell. She's influenced COUNTLESS musicians, and the LEAST Beyonce could have done was given her a heads up. Even Robin S got flowers and a heads up and she DEFINITELY didn't write Show Me Love. I do believe that Kelis wrote at least HALF of her songs and she deserves her reparations and flowers.
Kelis is right ‼️ she always was, and I hope she gets every dime ever owed to her. She works so hard constantly and I just want her to receive the proper recognition for her trailblazing career in the music industry 💕 Pharrell gets way too much credit for their collaborative projects. Male egos man. They fuckin suck
Wanderland was the first item I ever bought on Amazon in 2002. I was (and still am) such a huge Kelis fan and I just had to get my hands on a copy of Wanderland. Amazon was the only way I could get an imported copy lol. I still have that album to this day. Also wanted to add that in the CD cover of Wanderland, there is a picture of Kelis posed on a horse lol
What has REALLY changed how I feel about Beyonce is the fact that not only did she NOT reach out to Kelis...but Frankie Beverly said that he had NO IDEA Beyonce sampled his song (Before I Let Go)! He said he found out just like everybody else! He is a living breathing LEGEND! How tf do you NOT reach out to Frankie Beverly????? As a friend of mine stated, "Beyonce is corporate. She is like a corporation. Corporations don't give af! It's all about money!" That resonated with me.
Okay!!! That’s remix of Before I Let Go was/ is AWFUL!! It truly shows anyone with an ear that the poor Chile can’t sing!🫢 Beyoncé is a parasite, leech, vampire, or anything else that steals and sucks life …. Nothing is original about her.. Beyoncé stooped as low as stealing from college students🫣
Folks always wanna jump down Kelis’s throat for having a shady contract. The only reason Beyoncé is not in the same boat is bc of her dad. Everybody is not fortunate to have a parent that can look out for them in the entertainment industry. Is that Beyoncé’s fault that Kelis’s had bad contracts , no . However, stop acting like Beyoncé is some business mastermind, she has smart ppl behind her that made the right moves just like Brandy, Usher, and Monica just to name a few.
Beyonce has talent that allowed ger to stand the test of time, so many artists are independent now, kelis is bitter she couldbt produce nothing on her own after realizing she couldnt use nas"s money
Facts!!! The ones you names were all young and could have been taking advantage of as well but had parents behind them who didn’t allow it but unfortunately she didn’t.
@@theoo149 I never said Beyonce doesn't talent. You know how many talented artists are broke af now lol and Nas has shit to do with anything. Miss me with all that , next
*”Beyonce takes a piece of Kelis' song "Milkshake" and flip it. Kelis calls Beyoncé out as a thief and goes at Pharrell as well. Mind you, all Kelis did was sing the song. She didn't write it. Pharrell and Chad did. She didn't produce it. Pharrell and Chad did. Beyoncé still gave her credits on the song and in the album.* *Kelis would have gotten writers publishing points on a BEYONCE album. She was upset Beyonce didn't tap in directly with her. So what did Beyonce do? Took the Kelis part off the song. Now Kelis will make nothing and Beyonce ain't got to deal with the headache.* *Success Definers (Eddie Jaroul)* *What's ownership of something if your too egotistical to profit off of it? “Why the fuck you want yo Master's? Ain't nobody copping!" - Mell Duney*
Thank you and this is why Beyonce is a GLOBAL artist. She may not hit number 1 on this country but it's over 100 countries she tours in. Still the highest paid soloist & the highest paid black woman in America, the most Grammy award winnings etcetera.
I agree that Kelis didn't during her 2nd & 4th albums. Kelis is actually really popular outside of the US. She has had more critical/chart success globally versus here in the US and she's put out more albums than most people are aware of. I do wish that people in the US would appreciate her music more. She's stayed putting out albums and singles, but takes her time in between releases. Music stopped being her primary career long ago by choice.
I was asked to be in a group when I was 16 and me and my parents got an attorney and we went through the contract and we would have not made a dime and it was for three albums so of course I did not sign. Basically these deals will give the label 100 percent control and get a huge part of the earnings and the money the artist gets is used to pay for all of the management and assistants that are usually related to the producers or the owner so they get their money back. Remember what Pebbles and LA Reid did to TLC? They use the singers like puppets who have no power.
Moral of the story is - if you want something, build it YOURSELF like Master P did. The music industry will never change and will ALWAYS prey on the unsuspecting and naive.
"She needs no promo from me, she has Satan" LMAOO!! Honestly, i believe it. Beyonce has said blaphemous things in her music about God for the past few years. I love that Kelis isnt scared of anyone cause they have more fame. Only one we should fear is the Almighty God in heaven!
@@ayana188 she talked about taking pages from the bible (her lyrics said holy book) and plugging her menses for that time of the month. She just gives me witch vibes.
It sounds like she just got caught up in some shady deals/ contracts. Sad but doesn’t seem like it’s the fault of the people she’s publicly upset with. Trying to look at it a bit more compassion I wonder if she’s still mourning her husband who died earlier this year? Idk how I’d act if my husband died young after being sick.
@@jjw1920 She has PUBLICLY stated her grievance with Pharell and Chad. Several times. She's addresses this situation with Beyonce now, currently. By your account this woman has openly hated and criticized Beyonce for years, which isn't true. Your reaching
Maaaaaan…this tea have me in shocked. Kelis has every right to be upset. The Neptunes mostly Pharrell took advantage of a 19 year old. The tea about JayZ impregnated Nas baby mom’s had me speechless. Not a fan of Bey but she’s an amazing talent. Kelis also deserves her flowers because she has also made an impact in pop culture where here music will forever be sampled and used as references. Now I realize why Beyonce doesn’t respond because she has A LOT to hide and there’s a lot she doesn’t want the public to know. That satan comment have a lot truth to it and JayZ isn’t the only one to blame 👀
That's a beautiful name, God protect your beautiful baby girl.. Kelis has been through alot its Nas, Pharrell and the industry and losing her husband. God bless this woman.
I been watching RRG so long that I find the narrators voice comforting 😭 Kelis first album stopped me from getting into alot of trouble as a teen.. Love you Kelis 🤘🏽
Beyonce is so secretive about her projects that people were getting NDAs and contracts 2-3 weeks before it dropped. She's not going to give out any clues of what to expect on her projects. She called NO ONE she sampled. Her team handled all the paperwork and did so right before the release to try and prevent any leaks. Kelis need to go sue Pharrell. What she's asking is just not realistic for every artist that samples her when she doesn't own anything. Like girl.
1. Kudos to Kelis for not backing down to Beyonce's worshippers ✊🏽(beehive) 2. Kelis has been out since 1999 and in 2022 she STILL LOOKS GOOD!! Gone girl 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@deletingyoutube2306 sweetheart no. Theres a difference between liking someones art and idolizing. Dont be so dense. And please go head and delete your youtube for me baby
Anyone else feel like Kelis was before her time?! She's a whole vibe really. And Kelis is right, if someone wanted to sample music all you have to do is ask. There's a lot of shady things that go on behind the scenes.
Personally if Pharrell and Chad produced and arrange the song of Milkshake. It is there music rightfully. If they want to take elements of it and add to a another song they have all the rights to do so. Beyoncé shouldn’t have to answer to Kelis, unless she sang a verse from Milkshake. Do that make sense. I understand the frustration from Kelis, but it is more there song than hers. When it comes to who produce and created the melody. I am thinking from a music theory state of mind. I am not taking anything away from Kelis, she is talented. However, Imagine if Whitney got mad at someone sampling “I will always love you” that isn’t her song it’s Dolly Parton. The only person that can make clearance of the record is Dolly! 🤷🏾♂️ I just see this being beef between the Neptunes and Kelis!
I feel for her, for being done dirty by Pharrell and Chad all those years ago..but unfortunately it’s just a really hard lesson to learn for her. She’s gotta let it go and just expect all that music to be used. It’s messed up, but what can be done about it? As far as how she feels about Bey not reaching out..Idk what their relationship is/was, so can’t really say. But there sure are a *lot* of claims out there on Bey taking ideas and damn near completely jacking styles, etc. so I don’t think _that_ is far fetched. Maybe it’s just me, but I never took Hov’s line on Clique to be a diss…thought it was just nodding to her song Bossy. Kinda like “hang it up, flatscreen”?
When she and Nas were going through a messy divorce, I had mixed feelings about Kelis. Maybe they were just too toxic for each other. Once she found love again, I was happy for her. Very unfortunate what happened to Mike Mora. Aside from RIGHTFULLY beefing with some industry elites, losing her husband doesn't help either. 😔🙏🏾❤️🕊️
That Bossy bar by Jay-Z was absolutely not a diss to Kelis. It was simply a reference to the Kelis song Bossy. Like when Big Sean said on Offense: "I ain't really rockin' with you, I ain't on that Mike sh*t", which isn't a diss to Michael Jackson, but a reference to Rock With You. The song Clique also came out a whole decade after the beef with Nas.
Another great video, much love to your team and ofc yourself for these very informative documentary style videos. I wondered about most of the people you covered and now I can find out thanks for these and please take care and keep up the good, hard work.
I think Kelis was taken advantage of by the industry and was involved often in drama had nothing to do with her. However, I feel like she’s a tad resentful. I still don’t hear Kelis in the Beyoncé song she’s referring to. She also knows she doesn’t have publishing rights so idk what her issue is. I still think she’s a great artist and an overall dope person.
@@lilliebobson3146 Yes but like she said the songs don't sound alike at all. Kelis is assuming Beyonce knew that Pharrell stole her music 20 + years ago. If someone stole something from me I can't blame you for it. However I'd be just as pisst as Kelis is & rightfully so. Her feelings are valid she was done dirty.
I just hope she gets the reparations she deserves. No one appreciates being taken advantage of. And definitely no one appreciates being disrespected. Smh
Been a fan of hers from the beginning, and as much as I loved her with the neptunes it's interesting to think her career really took off when she started separating away from them musically.
after hearing the song she's talking about, in THIS situation, i truly feel her anger towards Beyonce is misguided...its REALLY Pharrell and Chad who's necks need her foot on them.
If someone tricked me at 19 where I could be getting money for my work for the rest of my life and took credit. I would not like you either. The truth is the truth and what they did was evil. I still see ppl using that milkshake song and she is suppose to get paid for that. Owning your masters is a big deal.
@@sbrooks904 sounds like you're deflecting on your own insecurities. She takes accountability for a lot of things she has done. Unlike some of these more popular, mute ones
So when is she going to take accountability for not going through the legal process to get her publishing rights back? When is she gonna take accountability for the fact that it’s been over 20 years and she still hasn’t done so? It’s interesting how people are willing to toss Beyoncé under the bus and bash Beyoncé for going through the legal process to use a sample but not calling a person who has made it clear in the past that she doesn’t care for you and doesn’t like you and has made it public mind you that she doesn’t like you. So we’re not gonna hold her accountable for wanting somebody to call you and be you know I’m using your sample even though I know you don’t like me and you’ve never complained about anybody else using your sample illegally like most recently Doja Cat cause she’s never called out but again I say that’s the sheep mentality when you all believe and will listen to a sob story without having all the facts and be quick to jump on the bandwagon because you don’t like another artist. If Beyoncé had done wrong in the situation then yes call her out and hold her accountable for it. However Beyoncé went through legal channels to get legal permission to use the sample. The fact that the Neptune‘s on the right to the music is not Beyoncé’s issue that’s not Beyoncé‘s problem to deal with that’s someone else’s issue who could’ve taken us to court years ago who should’ve taken it to court years ago don’t sit on your life and complain and whine and do interviews about how somebody stole something from you 20 years ago and yet you still have not taken a legal means to go after them for your publishing or your rights. You can’t say that you are a woman of action and that you let your actions speak louder than words when all you do is talk about the Neptune‘s and you bash the Neptune‘s but yet you have not been a woman about your actions and gone to court to receive your publishing or your masters or any of that. She hasn’t done so for the simple fact that she doesn’t have a legal leg to stand on writers credit doesn’t mean you wrote the songs and she definitely didn’t produce them so she doesn’t own it because she doesn’t have a right to own it you can save a contract all you want to but the facts are those late nights in the studio producing those beats for her first two albums she didn’t do those late nights in the studio writing a song for her first two albums she didn’t do so therefore she doesn’t get to own work that she didn’t put into that work. But again you always believe whatever you want to believe as long as it puts Beyoncé in a negative light and if I was her I wouldn’t respond because it’s not worth responding to even though while you’re all bashing Beyoncé she gave that woman credit on the song that she didn’t have to but no one talks about that you’re not speaking about the fact that Beyoncé gave that woman credit for a sample that she doesn’t even own yeah I’m pretty sure she didn’t mention that either this is why I called you a sheep with your sheep mentality and your lack of logic and integrity when you make statements without facts
I don't think she hates everyone. I think she's just real and unhidden. The songwriters and producers of the song were credited, which of course made sense, but her issue was not being addressed first before a song she performed and made famous was used. I had her CD back in 2006, 'Kelis Was Here'. I thought it was a great effort and body of work. You can tell she does her own thing and cares about her craft.🎨🖌️
At first I thought that but then she went IN on Beyoncé chiiiile 💀 like Kelis even went as far as calling Beyoncé "Satan's spawn" on Tiktok 🤭 it got messier and messier. And to make matters EVEN WORSE, Kelis's sister joined in as well and then everything like, blew up lol so at first I used to think that Kelis was this saint but you gotta admit that she was in the wrong too by adding that extra spice in the sauce that was already hot lmao 🤣
with all the responses across social media about kelis’ situation, more emphasis and onus should be put on producers, execs and other people in power being predatory and manipulative more so than artists being “young and naïve.” most of us don’t know what we don’t know until stuff noticeably goes wrong, and that’s just a natural part of life for all age groups. predatory contracts and manipulative business practices are not. it’s just been normalized under exploitative capitalism (and bigotry, misogyny, etc if we really wanna go deeper).
My take - Kelis said her piece no fux given, no stuttering. Empress moves. She ain't worried about these people! She is going to keep being her flawless smart, gorgeous self. Icon. So legendary. 💗 Kelis.
@@TheArtofBeingReacts she does not OWN it. I don’t understand Kelis was so hurt by Beyoncé not giving her “courtesy call.” First off, Beyoncé doesn’t do that to anybody (especially if you don’t own it).
@@gracedaniels3387 Ok?!?! Thank you! She's mad at Beyonce because Pharrell finessed her. She signed her contract mid-orgasm. Beyonce has nothing to do with that.
This is not a good day for Beyonce. Adding to the Kelis sample situation she has groups coming at her about the spazz word, an industry song writer questioning why she has so many song writers on her songs and people are coming at her about the church girl song. I will say Beyonce removing the Kelis sample is a victory for Kelis. Kelis said if she can't make money from her own work nobody can 🤣. I respect it. Great video as always.
Pharrell and Chad are not taking the "high road." That implies that Kelis did something wrong, and they are the mature party. Kelis is the victim, so taking the high road does not apply to them. It's more like taking the cowardly road, and not doing what's right (releasing her publishing to her and apologizing).
So you’re just gonna ignore the fact that she’s had over 20 years to go to court to get her publishing and rights back then I take it? Because she wanted her rights and her publishing in her masters she could’ve gone to court just like every other artist who has fought for their masters has done she’s had over 20 years and has still not done so. So it’s interesting how everybody’s on her side when she had ample time to go to court to get these masters that she’s crying about but hasn’t done so you are such sheep I do agree with her with that you have a sheep mentality and you feel like because somebody cries and whines and makes everything sound good that she’s right she’s in the wrong you don’t take out your attitude and your anger on somebody who you have made clear in the past you don’t like which she has done when it comes to Beyoncé. Why would I call you if you have made it publicly and privately know that you don’t like me so what did Beyoncé do she went to her legal team to get legal rights to a sample that the Neptune‘s. She is not a part of the Neptune‘s screwing over this woman so she is not responsible to reach out to an artist who doesn’t own anything.
@@felicia3841 The information is out there on the whole situation. No one is gonna keep repeating what is in this video, interviews, and everywhere else. It's been stated, she doesn't own her masters, and why. It's on you to "ignore the fact." At the end of the day, it's about ethics. if you're a Beyonce fan that wants to be delusional, and to omit ethics, and respect, on what this situation is truly about, that's on you. But what I said, is what I said. Good Day.
@@SirDave i’m not ignoring the issue when I’m stating is that taking your anger out on Beyoncé who has nothing to do with the Neptune screwing you over is ridiculous. Especially since you want to Beyoncé to call you when you’ve made it clear both publicly and privately that you don’t like her why would she call you that’s just stupid.
If y’all love Kelis so much then why are haven’t bought any of her albums 😂 y’all calling her a queen and the greatest and no one supported her music get outta here 😒 y’all love her but her last album Food sold less than 12,000
Pharrell and Chad taking the high road??? You could've chosen a better way to describe them being quiet. It's because they're WRONG and know it. They stole from her and didn't even make things right. They're greedy and pathetic. Glad she's standing up for herself. Too many cowards in the industry!
Omg RRG u are right on Time with this video. Just yesterday I saw a video about Kelis blowing up online. I asked the question what's all this about n some snotty commentor says I should do research.🙄 But also added basically what u said. This video gives more insight n the nuances of their issues. Some "other" channel could have easily missed. Thanks RRG!
I would love for Kelis to sit down with an entertainment lawyer and see if she can get some or all of her music rights back from Mr New Black Pharrell and Chad. She’s an exceptional artist and kaleidoscope was one of my favourites. Another good one, Thank you RRG❤️❤️
Beyoncé reached out to who the song belongs to and that ain’t Kelis. She’s lucky that Beyoncé made her relevant again for 15 minutes. Kids these days don’t know who she is lol.
I was sensing alot of pain from Kelis. I forgot about her husband dying. She need to get counselling, grief then heal. Forget about them, ranting won't change the past just allow more negative energy in her life. Most people know how the industry is. Kelis honey, move on, heal and focus on the family.
UPDATE: Beyoncé took the sample off! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oooh if Kelis wasn’t mad enough, this is gonna get her even more hot! 😂😂😂😂
We just heard the news 👀

@@timmy841212 when did she say that one lmfao
Wait what???
Nobody "hates Kelis". Ya'll can love Bey to the moon and back, but you can't negate Kelis' feelings, which are clearly more directed at Pharrell and Chad. This has been spoken about for years, without resolve. She's honest and transparent. Can't be mad at her for speaking her truth.
@AllBlckEvrything RRG always gets it right. The Kelis hate online has been unreal. People don’t want to understand. Bandwagon mentality.
@AllBlckEvrything you’re absolutely right. It is truly some dangerous, shark infested water. Designed to screw artists over.
@AllBlckEvrything: Same cuz Music Industry literally seems so shady, brutal & more.
The title says Why does Kelis hate everyone not the other way around!
it's weird to actually love someone that you do not know personally
Sounds like she wants the music industry; especially people of color, to move and do business with integrity. I would get annoyed too if every few years I’m getting disrespected. She’s been outspoken since day one, maybe one day she’ll get what’s due to her…. #respect.
Right!!👍💖🌟💯
@@millionairemillennial86 What’s to be confused about? Don’t be obtuse.
Jeni Michelle: integrity is dead tho. Cults of personality are springing UP all over the place and folks swear if someone speaks up on something, they doing it for CLOUT or that chasing the Bag is all that matters and not morals or code of conduct.
Look what a bunch of brainwashed folks did in DC, killing police officers they claim to have supported with "Blue Lives Matters" when it was a different situation. It's over, been over Big Tech got folks in a choke hold and it won't change, because these folks Kelis and others who advocate for themselves because they didn't when younger aren't doing it for the principle. Some don't know what doing it for the principle even means, they only understand the language of doing it for the bag. She owns farm, some millions, sure who wouldn't more, but she does food, music, programming, and that's what SHE CHOSE to do was live off the grid. Folks will vilify her no matter what.
Folks follow the LEADER now, literally. They don't care for integrity at ALL. It's gone.
Really? Isn't she the same one who underpaid her nanny and left her stranded in London? Integrity starts at home.
probably we would hate everyone in the industry too if we knew all the things that really happens behind the scenes, so i understand her lol
@Ekaterina KozhevnikovaAbsolutely. The head of the Music Industry is Satan, they are all snakes that prey on new artists who are naive.
Yup!!
Straight up!💯
Exactly I lived it for a long time and people be like well you this and that you would do this you just don't know how bad it is you got to be really doggy dog like you got to be a beast to really make it in this industry for real for real if you're not doing it in a way where your parents and all that is involved
Nah... ain't no need of her being in the business and being bitter she should have took her money and got a lawyer. Nobody put a gun to her head to sign on the dotted line
I love Kelis. She is an entire vibe!
Agreed 💯
I hate that happened to her.Stay close to God she will reap a harvest ♥️
Well said! I love her voice! ❤️
she def stands up for what she believes in and i love people like that because i’m the same exact way!!
I love her too milk shake my Jam bring them boys to the yard 😆 🤣
Kelis hair always looks good 🔥
It does, and she is a very beautiful woman.
I really wish people could really listen to what Kelis is truly saying.
She's blaming Beyonce for Pharrell stealing her music. If the roles were reversed Kelis wouldn't be to blame. If someone stole something from you, you can't blame me for it. That's life and reality, last but not least Whitney Houston sung Dolly Parton song I will always love you. Dolly Parton said she initially heard the song on the radio. Did we hear anything negatively?
Hey, nice to see a South African here
Kelis hasn't been as iconic since leaving The Neptunes because she helped actualise THEIR sound. Kelis is just mad that she has all her best musical days to Pharrell. She was even liking tweets saying Rihanna stole from her as well.
Her album came out 20 years ago. If she wanted to take them to court and sue them, she's had more than enough time.
@@queensamara5898 you missed her point, but you're right.
@@KairoK you're right hey, she's just hurting and probably thought someone like Beyoncé would never use her songs knowingly what the Neptunes did to her, you know Beyoncé being all about “black women empowerment”
Despite the fact that she was 19, I do legit think she was taken advantaged of. She may have signed the contract but she did it in good faith considering she was working with people she thought were her friends and the idea of being scammed probably didn’t register.
So yea I understand why she’s angry.
On another note, her Album “Food” is probably one of the greatest records I’ve ever hears
“Good faith”
At what point do you take responsibility for your own mistakes? It happens. Get over it and chalk it up to being naive.
Despite the mistake on her part, we have to admit the music industry is set up to keep most artists at the bottom of the totem pole. It's happened so many times but many will overlook it if their faves are the ones doing it.
19 isn't even the age we are in our adult state of mind. Our minds aren't fully developed until 25. 18 is just what the law says to be predatory.
“Good faith”. Didn’t she grow up in an unhappy upbringing? Was she THAT naive? I wouldn’t trust anything if I had to have her upbringing. Pharrell and Chad are definitely wrong for what they did of course but Kelis definitely should’ve watched the signs. Most artists sign on “good faith”. That’s the problem right there. The music industry is shady. Didn’t they learn from Q-Tip???
@@sbrooks904 not sure where you got all that, I’m only coming from a sympathetic viewpoint
Kelis isn’t saying anything new here. She’s been speaking out about the shady industry for years. I think the audience automatically just sides with the popular artist because they feel the popular ones can’t do wrong and that’s false.
The beef shouldn’t be directly towards Beyoncé but she gets no slap on the wrist. Beyoncé has been called out for years for taking other musicians materials. EVERYBODY CAN’T BE LYING ON HER. The beehive is just as delusional and the Barbz.
But Pharrell’s the biggest shadester. it’s him who’s the problem. This is why more and more artist today are going independent.
@@Mya_water here we go with the peanut gallery. Too many of you exist and it’s exhausting. The fact that you think standing up behind morality is associated with being a Kelis stan is comical. It has nothing to do with standing for Kelis, ain’t nobody picking sides. It’s morality. It seems you know nothing about that. Weather it’s Kelis, Azealia Banks, Tyler the Creator, Kelly Rowland, etc. it’s not right either way. The industry is shady and many artist from the 80’s and 90’s suffered from bad deals. Those are just facts. You’re just too ignorant and stuck on stupid to understand.

Its mostly cuz some ppl feel well what he/she wasn't wrong. Basically they not looking at all perspectives. They mainly figure it's the victims fault. Odds are that it ain't.
Which is weird because our society has apparently woken up from victim blaming , but situations like these when a popular person ( beyonce in this case ) gets called out , that goes out the window. Seems like ppl today will ride waves of whats popular to do
@@jba414 Thank you, the thing people won't acknowledge is that every single artist we know & love sample music from back in the day. Chris Brown has a song out right now called Warm embrace. The original song was called computer love. Long story short it wasn't his music but did we call him a thief? I can name a hundred songs from many artists that sampled from different ppl.
Ashanti: this! Or even with a double standard attached to the ISH, how folks gonna act so understanding about Dave Chapelle airing out his dirty laundry with his contractual obligations to Netflix and Comedy Central but all of sudden Kelis being younger too like he was, "she shoulda known better" the HYPOCRISY is REAL AF and the gender differences in treatment is HELLA noticeable, favorites aside.

Every time someone comes and speaks their truth about a celebrity that is Major popular like Beyoncé people want to call them haters, broke Etc.. take your blinders off, weird af!
Exactly!
Not just that but people are saying Kelis should’ve read the fine print, but in the very next breath will drag someone like Diddy for scamming other artists, or worse, cry about the predatory student loans THEY SIGNED when they were the same age as Kelis when she signed her contract. Like, come on now.
Nobody is calling Kelis a hater. Where do you see that in these comments? Kelis is mad at the wrong person. Beyonce got the rights from the OWNER. It's not Beyonce's fault Kelis signed a shady contract by a dude she was sleeping with. Beyonce doesn't know this woman. She doesn't have to give her credit for a song that does not legally belong to her. You all want to mad at Beyonce because she's Beyonce. Kelis was bamboozled. She needs to take that up with Pharrell.

I don’t hate Pharrell, I listen to his music here and there, but he was indeed wrong for doing Kelis like that.
he may have been wrong but have you ever heard of the thing you always read everything before you sign your name on a dotted line because once you sign your name on the dotted line that's it they got you so if she would have read it before she signed it then she would have figured it out but she was all about that money not saying that they was right because you should never swindle anybody out of anything because it comes back on you. you're always supposed to read something before you sign your name to any contracts, and documents because not reading the fine print will get you every time.

Kelis has always been dope to me from Music to fashion. Now Pharrell has always been shady - blurred lines anyone so him throwing her under the bus is par for the course. Beyonce could have called Kelis out of respect because of artistry. And please don't get me started on Jayz - who's always taking shots at women when the beef is with another man. Nas cleared his schedule on Ether - the greatest diss track of all time (and we can fight about it. lol)
You just seem like a miserable hater. Call Kelis for what she not the Boss she don’t own shit. Only a basic ass bum ass peon would agree with Kelis because who calls the help to make decisions…
Kelis is feed up with All the disrespect towards her. What is done in the dark will come to the light. You have these industry bullies thinking they can walk over all these artists. Once their eyes 👀 are open and they realize they have been ripped off by management & fight back they have a problem with it. I hope Kelis gets back everything that is due to her. God turns ashes into beauty. She shall prevail can’t wait for it.
So can you help me understand why did over 3 dozen people sample that same exact track yet she only singled out Beyonce? Lastly dozens of artists took samples from past artists yet they don't get held to the same standard. Calling her a thief when the true villain is that creepy looking crooked thief Pharrell. She should sue him penniless in my opinion.
I love reading comments chastising these artists about signing messed up deals.....when by now I am hoping some of you have heard how many of these execs tell artists they can't have someone else look at the contract and they have to sign right there on the spot (i.e. TLC and the original member who refused to sign the contract and the group moved on with their shitty deal without her). Also from the jump these artists are broke and can't afford their own legal representation, and even if they read it themselves they don't understand "legalese" and would not be able to spot something "suspicious". Artists like Brandy and Beyonce were blessed to have parents who were already experienced in the world of business and contracts and were involved from the jump. Also information about the entertainment industry as a whole and the behind the scenes fuckery has only just become public knowledge with presence of the internet.
it has a very unique sour taste when Black ppl do this to other BP. knowing that we come from difficult circumstances chile we downtrodden. and i keep telling my relatives. Not all skin folk are kin folk.. and the one thing women should never do is smash a co-worker, no matter how convenient and delicious he looks. what's happening here is especially hard for her because he got in her panties.
You made a point and renigged...especially about people getting a lawyer, and how most artists don’t understand legal terms or even a fraction of the repercussions. But the thing that you were leaving out is something that other artists who are not signed to those labels have done, which was pause and not signing something on the spot. That’s a high pressure sales tactic, so you won’t back out because they know it’s a deal, and you’ll more than likely buckle with a 10 million dollar check in your face. You can’t say some are the victim and then at the same time make an excuse for why they don’t do what they need to do. So you agree it was her choice not to handle her business. Of course they’re broke that’s why they were scouted, it’s much easier to manipulate people who don’t have any money. That’s obvious, Hollywood and the music industry aren’t really different in that sense. But where an artist needs to be smart is not just signing anything because they’re “poor”. If they cared more about their craft and not just getting money and can be in these type of deals, that’s the true team. But most people don’t realize in order to get an artist you have to compromise certain parts of your art, they were willing to compromise their art so they can be famous. There’s no point of feeling sad for them now, they’re still famous they’re still relevant but the choices that they made, interloped with those with knowledge and better business sense, caused them not to make as much as they could have, and that’s on them. The industry is predatory but if you walk into a lions cave you can’t expect, NOT to be eaten. Be smart come in with a weapon to protect yourself. A.k.a. a lawyer that knows the industry, And will look out for you. Another thing entertainment lawyers ARE IN FACT affordable it’s called saving your money, a lot of artists probably don’t do that, but if a lot of artist would stop being right brain only and left brain a little bit they wouldn’t be in these situations. It’s easy to take advantage of somebody who’s so duplicitous.
Reminds me of that scene n making the band when Sara wanted her lawyer 2 look over the contract Piddy had given them n he had a piss fit. Even made the rest of the band gang up on her until she signed it
@@jba414 How much do you think it costs for a good lawyer who is also highly knowledgeable about the music industry ? Also, yea it's true they might work with them and arrange a later pay date but the artist's success is unknown & what if they never get the money within a certain time frame ? They might risk penalties & more. Also, these people came into the industry at a very young age with little to no knowledge about the business aspect of the industry. Even today, artists can & will get played. Business knowledge isn't a couple of days worth to understand. It takes weeks, months & even years.
This!
Kelis went through a lot this year, losing her husband and now this, people have their breaking points and I believe this was a Suttle way of addressing the issue! Nobody is above reproach, and she shouldn't be scared to speak how she feels!
That's really sad considering her husband seemed like a keeper unlike these fickle male celebs.
I love this channel but the title is lazy, spiteful and disingenuous. Kelis has been robbed too many times by too many people and she’s calling them out plain and simple. How does that equate to her hating everyone?
🌬️💨💨💨 She was right, "People in the industry has no soul or integrity."
It's just unfortunate that she didn't find that out until it was already too late and her publishing was longgggggg gone.🤷🏽♀️

Kelis did the same thing that Toni Braxton did. Trusted the producers and the producers attorneys and signed a wack recording contract and come out short. The Neptunes are just flat out wrong for what they did to Kelis. Janky Janky

I've always respected Kelis's artistry. She's extremely talented and I've just always loved her unique vibe, especially early on in her career. It's heartbreaking to hear all of these sad industry stories. It's as if all of the non-superstar artists that came out of the 90s and early 2000s have been done extremely wrong, taken advantage of, used up, and thrown to the curb.
She's talented but I immensely lost a lot of respect for her for what she did to NAS and their son Knight in the whole custody battle/child support award malarkey.

@@theoo149 She has a beautiful, soulful voice. If you're judging from "Milkshake" then yeah, I would think she couldn't really sing either. Listen to her first album, particularly "Caught Out There" and "Game Show." I actually don't know a lot of her discography, but I got put on to the first album about two years ago and I was shocked at how nice of a tone she has. There's some instances where she sounds somewhat similar to Sunshine Anderson. Just a nice, strong tone.
@@Mya_water Her career was pretty average, but I wouldn't say she is. She has a very unique and dope vibe about her (or at least had). She's just been forgotten by the mainstream and pop culture, so it's easy to dismiss her. She really fumbled this opportunity though. She could've became somewhat relevant again.
I am so sad that this is happening to her. I love the Neptunes and her music with them. They all had such great chemistry.
“Chad is an amoeba, spinless, I’m surprised he can even keep his neck up.”

Damn, she dragged him on that line right there.
I absolutely love Kelis. I think her argument was valid. She didn’t seem mad to me. She seemed annoyed at the disrespect and hypocrisy. So many great artists have been messed over in the industry. Great video as usual. 💛💛💛💛
Her argument was not valid because it was directed at the wrong person.. she signed her rights away.. she does not own her publishing
I agree. She has the right to have her say. Whether Jesus fan or not. She was swindled and felt it was happening again. Well done on her!! 😊❤️
"She needs no promo from me, she has satan"🤣🤣🤣☄️☄️☄️ tell em Kelis. I love her
"Chad is spineless. It's a miracle he can keep his neck up." LMAO🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've still never heard Chad speak to this day. I don't even know what his voice sounds like which is weird, considering that the Neptunes were such a successful duo.
Kelis simply stated what she felt. She's worked hard in the industry and got less then what she put in because of Chad and Pharrell. She's influenced COUNTLESS musicians, and the LEAST Beyonce could have done was given her a heads up. Even Robin S got flowers and a heads up and she DEFINITELY didn't write Show Me Love. I do believe that Kelis wrote at least HALF of her songs and she deserves her reparations and flowers.
The title is literally a jokey joke…kinda 🤣

Wanderland was the first item I ever bought on Amazon in 2002. I was (and still am) such a huge Kelis fan and I just had to get my hands on a copy of Wanderland. Amazon was the only way I could get an imported copy lol. I still have that album to this day.
Also wanted to add that in the CD cover of Wanderland, there is a picture of Kelis posed on a horse lol
What has REALLY changed how I feel about Beyonce is the fact that not only did she NOT reach out to Kelis...but Frankie Beverly said that he had NO IDEA Beyonce sampled his song (Before I Let Go)! He said he found out just like everybody else! He is a living breathing LEGEND! How tf do you NOT reach out to Frankie Beverly?????
As a friend of mine stated, "Beyonce is corporate. She is like a corporation. Corporations don't give af! It's all about money!" That resonated with me.

Wow!!! I never knew that smh. Shame on her. What a classic song for her to sample.
Kelis is super talented, I just hope she continues to move forward and hopefully get what’s owed to her, many blessings.
I love your speaking voice. It is very clear and concise. Unlike all the other narrators, you don't use slang or aggressive tones.
Kelis and her curly colourful afro will always have a place in my 90’s kid heart 💜
Folks always wanna jump down Kelis’s throat for having a shady contract. The only reason Beyoncé is not in the same boat is bc of her dad. Everybody is not fortunate to have a parent that can look out for them in the entertainment industry. Is that Beyoncé’s fault that Kelis’s had bad contracts , no . However, stop acting like Beyoncé is some business mastermind, she has smart ppl behind her that made the right moves just like Brandy, Usher, and Monica just to name a few.
@@Mya_water 🤣🤣🤣
Beyonce has talent that allowed ger to stand the test of time, so many artists are independent now, kelis is bitter she couldbt produce nothing on her own after realizing she couldnt use nas"s money
Facts!!! The ones you names were all young and could have been taking advantage of as well but had parents behind them who didn’t allow it but unfortunately she didn’t.
@@theoo149 I never said Beyonce doesn't talent. You know how many talented artists are broke af now lol and Nas has shit to do with anything. Miss me with all that , next

*”Beyonce takes a piece of Kelis' song "Milkshake" and flip it. Kelis calls Beyoncé out as a thief and goes at Pharrell as well. Mind you, all Kelis did was sing the song. She didn't write it. Pharrell and Chad did. She didn't produce it. Pharrell and Chad did. Beyoncé still gave her credits on the song and in the album.*
*Kelis would have gotten writers publishing points on a BEYONCE album. She was upset Beyonce didn't tap in directly with her. So what did Beyonce do? Took the Kelis part off the song. Now Kelis will make nothing and Beyonce ain't got to deal with the headache.*

THEY DONT GET THIS! Facts!
Thank you and this is why Beyonce is a GLOBAL artist. She may not hit number 1 on this country but it's over 100 countries she tours in. Still the highest paid soloist & the highest paid black woman in America, the most Grammy award winnings etcetera.
Sad that things didn't work out for her career but she had a great voice she didn't get a fair chance
Seems like she had had a decent career. Not everyone is Mega Stars.
I agree that Kelis didn't during her 2nd & 4th albums. Kelis is actually really popular outside of the US. She has had more critical/chart success globally versus here in the US and she's put out more albums than most people are aware of. I do wish that people in the US would appreciate her music more. She's stayed putting out albums and singles, but takes her time in between releases. Music stopped being her primary career long ago by choice.
I absolutely Adore Kelis. Shes a Realist. Talented, and gorgeous
People forget that even if it’s a good contract, you can still get played.
Most “good” contracts usually have something where the label owners can basically own all you record so was it even a good contract to begin with?
Which is why it's best to stay out of the predatory music industry. Most of these artists end up being broken.
I was asked to be in a group when I was 16 and me and my parents got an attorney and we went through the contract and we would have not made a dime and it was for three albums so of course I did not sign.
Basically these deals will give the label 100 percent control and get a huge part of the earnings and the money the artist gets is used to pay for all of the management and assistants that are usually related to the producers or the owner so they get their money back. Remember what Pebbles and LA Reid did to TLC?
They use the singers like puppets who have no power.
Moral of the story is - if you want something, build it YOURSELF like Master P did. The music industry will never change and will ALWAYS prey on the unsuspecting and naive.
"She needs no promo from me, she has Satan" LMAOO!! Honestly, i believe it. Beyonce has said blaphemous things in her music about God for the past few years. I love that Kelis isnt scared of anyone cause they have more fame. Only one we should fear is the Almighty God in heaven!
What has she said about GOD?
@@ayana188 Go and listen to her music and look at the lyrics then you will know Beyonce loves to blaspheme
Preach sis!!
@@ayana188 she talked about taking pages from the bible (her lyrics said holy book) and plugging her menses for that time of the month. She just gives me witch vibes.
@@laurenreneebrittany1797 what song she said that in and I thought her mother and father was supposed to be some good ole Christian People 🤣
It sounds like she just got caught up in some shady deals/ contracts. Sad but doesn’t seem like it’s the fault of the people she’s publicly upset with. Trying to look at it a bit more compassion I wonder if she’s still mourning her husband who died earlier this year? Idk how I’d act if my husband died young after being sick.
She can mourn her husband and simultaneously speak out against those she feels have spited her.
she should not have slept with the help. women are easily dickmatized. Ladies even he is cute and you are on the job just don't .
@@chantelforrester8325 she spent more time going after Beyoncé than Pharrell. She is bitter
@@jjw1920 She has PUBLICLY stated her grievance with Pharell and Chad. Several times. She's addresses this situation with Beyonce now, currently. By your account this woman has openly hated and criticized Beyonce for years, which isn't true. Your reaching
@@jjw1920 that’s not true.
So sad she lost her husband. She's so strong
She is like a female Lenny Kravitz. Very versatile and extremely savvy unfortunately they took advantage of her naivety but it only took 1x
Maaaaaan…this tea have me in shocked. Kelis has every right to be upset. The Neptunes mostly Pharrell took advantage of a 19 year old. The tea about JayZ impregnated Nas baby mom’s had me speechless. Not a fan of Bey but she’s an amazing talent. Kelis also deserves her flowers because she has also made an impact in pop culture where here music will forever be sampled and used as references. Now I realize why Beyonce doesn’t respond because she has A LOT to hide and there’s a lot she doesn’t want the public to know. That satan comment have a lot truth to it and JayZ isn’t the only one to blame 👀
I’m glad Kelis spoke Her peace and didn’t comeback with a lame apology 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
She said Chad is an amoeba and it’s a miracle he can keep his neck up! I hollered🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love hearing people say the name Kelis I named my daughter Kelise Aurora
That's a beautiful name, God protect your beautiful baby girl.. Kelis has been through alot its Nas, Pharrell and the industry and losing her husband. God bless this woman.
I been watching RRG so long that I find the narrators voice comforting 😭
Kelis first album stopped me from getting into alot of trouble as a teen.. Love you Kelis 🤘🏽
Beyonce is so secretive about her projects that people were getting NDAs and contracts 2-3 weeks before it dropped. She's not going to give out any clues of what to expect on her projects. She called NO ONE she sampled. Her team handled all the paperwork and did so right before the release to try and prevent any leaks. Kelis need to go sue Pharrell. What she's asking is just not realistic for every artist that samples her when she doesn't own anything. Like girl.
Friendship is friendship and BUSINESS IS BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!
1. Kudos to Kelis for not backing down to Beyonce's worshippers ✊🏽(beehive)
2. Kelis has been out since 1999 and in 2022 she STILL LOOKS GOOD!! Gone girl 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
A fan base does not worship people, they just admire the music the same as Kelis fans so I don't know what you were trying to do with that.

Anyone else feel like Kelis was before her time?! She's a whole vibe really. And Kelis is right, if someone wanted to sample music all you have to do is ask. There's a lot of shady things that go on behind the scenes.
I’ll never understand how a label can’t market an album 🙄. Biggest excuse in the book
Risk/reward.
Ikr, that shit is stupid and annoying
I wish her the best and that she directs her frustration towards the right people.
Personally if Pharrell and Chad produced and arrange the song of Milkshake. It is there music rightfully. If they want to take elements of it and add to a another song they have all the rights to do so.
Beyoncé shouldn’t have to answer to Kelis, unless she sang a verse from Milkshake. Do that make sense.
I understand the frustration from Kelis, but it is more there song than hers. When it comes to who produce and created the melody. I am thinking from a music theory state of mind. I am not taking anything away from Kelis, she is talented. However,
Imagine if Whitney got mad at someone sampling “I will always love you” that isn’t her song it’s Dolly Parton. The only person that can make clearance of the record is Dolly! 🤷🏾♂️
I just see this being beef between the Neptunes and Kelis!
Shalawam! Respect to Kelis who just lost her husband. They have a beautiful family, fam, and business. WAY to keep life moving.
I feel for her, for being done dirty by Pharrell and Chad all those years ago..but unfortunately it’s just a really hard lesson to learn for her. She’s gotta let it go and just expect all that music to be used. It’s messed up, but what can be done about it? As far as how she feels about Bey not reaching out..Idk what their relationship is/was, so can’t really say. But there sure are a *lot* of claims out there on Bey taking ideas and damn near completely jacking styles, etc. so I don’t think _that_ is far fetched. Maybe it’s just me, but I never took Hov’s line on Clique to be a diss…thought it was just nodding to her song Bossy. Kinda like “hang it up, flatscreen”?
When she and Nas were going through a messy divorce, I had mixed feelings about Kelis. Maybe they were just too toxic for each other. Once she found love again, I was happy for her. Very unfortunate what happened to Mike Mora. Aside from RIGHTFULLY beefing with some industry elites, losing her husband doesn't help either. 😔🙏🏾❤️🕊️
@@danavixen6274 Very true 😞
@Dana Vixen I completely agree with you and much more, especially about her and Nas situation!👍😰🔥💎👑💯
Why should she let it go?
@@leeby67 because there’s literally nothing she can do to change it.
That Bossy bar by Jay-Z was absolutely not a diss to Kelis. It was simply a reference to the Kelis song Bossy.
Like when Big Sean said on Offense: "I ain't really rockin' with you, I ain't on that Mike sh*t", which isn't a diss to Michael Jackson, but a reference to Rock With You.
The song Clique also came out a whole decade after the beef with Nas.
That’s what I was thinking, I’m confused… it was simply a reference to the song, he didn’t say anything negative 🤷🏾♀️
@@Mintjulep3 The point is why? What’s the point or the reason? He could’ve referenced anyone.

Kelis, keep standing up for artistry & integrity 💯🔥💐💝👍🏾
I think Kelis was taken advantage of by the industry and was involved often in drama had nothing to do with her. However, I feel like she’s a tad resentful. I still don’t hear Kelis in the Beyoncé song she’s referring to. She also knows she doesn’t have publishing rights so idk what her issue is. I still think she’s a great artist and an overall dope person.
It was interpolated. Look up that word. Then maybe you'll get it
@@lilliebobson3146 Yes but like she said the songs don't sound alike at all. Kelis is assuming Beyonce knew that Pharrell stole her music 20 + years ago. If someone stole something from me I can't blame you for it. However I'd be just as pisst as Kelis is & rightfully so. Her feelings are valid she was done dirty.
@@queensamara5898 Did you know that you can be arrested for having stolen goods?
I just hope she gets the reparations she deserves. No one appreciates being taken advantage of. And definitely no one appreciates being disrespected. Smh
I loved kelis since day one it was the hair and wild energy for me but homegirl was definitely robbed of her publishing & disrespected by the business
Protect Kelis at all cost🙌🏾💯
Been a fan of hers from the beginning, and as much as I loved her with the neptunes it's interesting to think her career really took off when she started separating away from them musically.
after hearing the song she's talking about, in THIS situation, i truly feel her anger towards Beyonce is misguided...its REALLY Pharrell and Chad who's necks need her foot on them.
Her frustrations stem over a 20 year span. 20 years. That's a long time to harbor such ill feelings, even if they're warranted.
Well Said and please tell that for the PPL in the back.
If someone tricked me at 19 where I could be getting money for my work for the rest of my life and took credit. I would not like you either. The truth is the truth and what they did was evil. I still see ppl using that milkshake song and she is suppose to get paid for that. Owning your masters is a big deal.
@@lavendersunsets7066 THEY does not include Beyonce.

@@lavendersunsets7066 indeed it is. But 20 years of holding a grudge has to take a toll on the mental health. Her feelings won't change what happened.
I love Kelis. I like how she takes accountability for her flaws. And I like how transparent she is.
❤❤❤
Same. Kelis deserves her 💐
Accountability and kelis are like oil and water
@@sbrooks904 sounds like you're deflecting on your own insecurities. She takes accountability for a lot of things she has done. Unlike some of these more popular, mute ones
So when is she going to take accountability for not going through the legal process to get her publishing rights back? When is she gonna take accountability for the fact that it’s been over 20 years and she still hasn’t done so? It’s interesting how people are willing to toss Beyoncé under the bus and bash Beyoncé for going through the legal process to use a sample but not calling a person who has made it clear in the past that she doesn’t care for you and doesn’t like you and has made it public mind you that she doesn’t like you. So we’re not gonna hold her accountable for wanting somebody to call you and be you know I’m using your sample even though I know you don’t like me and you’ve never complained about anybody else using your sample illegally like most recently Doja Cat cause she’s never called out but again I say that’s the sheep mentality when you all believe and will listen to a sob story without having all the facts and be quick to jump on the bandwagon because you don’t like another artist. If Beyoncé had done wrong in the situation then yes call her out and hold her accountable for it. However Beyoncé went through legal channels to get legal permission to use the sample. The fact that the Neptune‘s on the right to the music is not Beyoncé’s issue that’s not Beyoncé‘s problem to deal with that’s someone else’s issue who could’ve taken us to court years ago who should’ve taken it to court years ago don’t sit on your life and complain and whine and do interviews about how somebody stole something from you 20 years ago and yet you still have not taken a legal means to go after them for your publishing or your rights. You can’t say that you are a woman of action and that you let your actions speak louder than words when all you do is talk about the Neptune‘s and you bash the Neptune‘s but yet you have not been a woman about your actions and gone to court to receive your publishing or your masters or any of that. She hasn’t done so for the simple fact that she doesn’t have a legal leg to stand on writers credit doesn’t mean you wrote the songs and she definitely didn’t produce them so she doesn’t own it because she doesn’t have a right to own it you can save a contract all you want to but the facts are those late nights in the studio producing those beats for her first two albums she didn’t do those late nights in the studio writing a song for her first two albums she didn’t do so therefore she doesn’t get to own work that she didn’t put into that work. But again you always believe whatever you want to believe as long as it puts Beyoncé in a negative light and if I was her I wouldn’t respond because it’s not worth responding to even though while you’re all bashing Beyoncé she gave that woman credit on the song that she didn’t have to but no one talks about that you’re not speaking about the fact that Beyoncé gave that woman credit for a sample that she doesn’t even own yeah I’m pretty sure she didn’t mention that either this is why I called you a sheep with your sheep mentality and your lack of logic and integrity when you make statements without facts
I don't think she hates everyone. I think she's just real and unhidden. The songwriters and producers of the song were credited, which of course made sense, but her issue was not being addressed first before a song she performed and made famous was used.
I had her CD back in 2006, 'Kelis Was Here'. I thought it was a great effort and body of work. You can tell she does her own thing and cares about her craft.🎨🖌️
At first I thought that but then she went IN on Beyoncé chiiiile 💀 like Kelis even went as far as calling Beyoncé "Satan's spawn" on Tiktok 🤭 it got messier and messier. And to make matters EVEN WORSE, Kelis's sister joined in as well and then everything like, blew up lol so at first I used to think that Kelis was this saint but you gotta admit that she was in the wrong too by adding that extra spice in the sauce that was already hot lmao 🤣
with all the responses across social media about kelis’ situation, more emphasis and onus should be put on producers, execs and other people in power being predatory and manipulative more so than artists being “young and naïve.” most of us don’t know what we don’t know until stuff noticeably goes wrong, and that’s just a natural part of life for all age groups. predatory contracts and manipulative business practices are not. it’s just been normalized under exploitative capitalism (and bigotry, misogyny, etc if we really wanna go deeper).
@@Mya_water and kelis has voiced her disdain about this 400 times…
My take - Kelis said her piece no fux given, no stuttering. Empress moves. She ain't worried about these people! She is going to keep being her flawless smart, gorgeous self.

I think I gotta get some RRG snacks to snack on for every RRG video they put out. FR. Taste soooo good. IJS 😋

@@TheArtofBeingReacts no she didn’t 🤣 That song was originally written for Brittany Spears.
@@TheArtofBeingReacts The Neptune's wrote it. Unless she helped and they didn't credit her.
This is not a good day for Beyonce. Adding to the Kelis sample situation she has groups coming at her about the spazz word, an industry song writer questioning why she has so many song writers on her songs and people are coming at her about the church girl song. I will say Beyonce removing the Kelis sample is a victory for Kelis. Kelis said if she can't make money from her own work nobody can 🤣. I respect it. Great video as always.
Yeah, this is a messy situation and I like Kelis and whatever she have to do to fix her deals.She need to get a good lawyer , good luck to her ! 👍🏾
Pharrell and Chad are not taking the "high road." That implies that Kelis did something wrong, and they are the mature party. Kelis is the victim, so taking the high road does not apply to them. It's more like taking the cowardly road, and not doing what's right (releasing her publishing to her and apologizing).
So you’re just gonna ignore the fact that she’s had over 20 years to go to court to get her publishing and rights back then I take it? Because she wanted her rights and her publishing in her masters she could’ve gone to court just like every other artist who has fought for their masters has done she’s had over 20 years and has still not done so. So it’s interesting how everybody’s on her side when she had ample time to go to court to get these masters that she’s crying about but hasn’t done so you are such sheep I do agree with her with that you have a sheep mentality and you feel like because somebody cries and whines and makes everything sound good that she’s right she’s in the wrong you don’t take out your attitude and your anger on somebody who you have made clear in the past you don’t like which she has done when it comes to Beyoncé. Why would I call you if you have made it publicly and privately know that you don’t like me so what did Beyoncé do she went to her legal team to get legal rights to a sample that the Neptune‘s. She is not a part of the Neptune‘s screwing over this woman so she is not responsible to reach out to an artist who doesn’t own anything.
@@felicia3841 The information is out there on the whole situation. No one is gonna keep repeating what is in this video, interviews, and everywhere else. It's been stated, she doesn't own her masters, and why. It's on you to "ignore the fact."
At the end of the day, it's about ethics. if you're a Beyonce fan that wants to be delusional, and to omit ethics, and respect, on what this situation is truly about, that's on you. But what I said, is what I said.
Good Day.
@@SirDave i’m not ignoring the issue when I’m stating is that taking your anger out on Beyoncé who has nothing to do with the Neptune screwing you over is ridiculous. Especially since you want to Beyoncé to call you when you’ve made it clear both publicly and privately that you don’t like her why would she call you that’s just stupid.
If y’all love Kelis so much then why are haven’t bought any of her albums 😂 y’all calling her a queen and the greatest and no one supported her music get outta here 😒 y’all love her but her last album Food sold less than 12,000
I love the narration and content on this channel. Keep doing y'all thang!
Pharrell and Chad taking the high road??? You could've chosen a better way to describe them being quiet. It's because they're WRONG and know it. They stole from her and didn't even make things right. They're greedy and pathetic. Glad she's standing up for herself. Too many cowards in the industry!
Omg RRG u are right on Time with this video.
Just yesterday I saw a video about Kelis blowing up online.
I asked the question what's all this about n some snotty commentor says I should do research.🙄 But also added basically what u said.
This video gives more insight n the nuances of their issues.
Some "other" channel could have easily missed.
Thanks RRG!
She is not even remotely hateful...she is just speaking her truth!!!
That's probably the hottest line ever "she doesn't need promo from me, she has Satan." WHOA!🤣🤣🤣🤣
She needs no promotion from me she has Satan. I think that's the best description I've ever heard someone describe that situation
I would love for Kelis to sit down with an entertainment lawyer and see if she can get some or all of her music rights back from Mr New Black Pharrell and Chad. She’s an exceptional artist and kaleidoscope was one of my favourites. Another good one, Thank you RRG❤️❤️
Oh yes, Mr. "New Black" 😂. That pseudo intellectual has spouted nothing but hot air for 20 years! I say this a die-hard Neptunes fan too.
Nah she fine calling fools out
I love Kelis! May God continue to bless and keep her blessed soul. She's a great person.
That's pretty disappointing because Kelis & Neptunes made some great tracks.
