XtinaStripped Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Well I guess that’s one way to solve it… I hate that it’s acceptable for albums to just get Kanye’d now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyMetalAura Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Welp. I think Kelis was ridiculous to make such a big deal out of this if she didn’t hold the rights to it - you seek permission from those who hold the rights. It sucks that she and many artists don’t own their own music, but that’s not Bey’s fault. Re: the song making no money, Milkshake probably makes more in residuals as a classic ‘00s hit than any album track from Renaissance will this year. And that’s not shade, that’s just the truth from someone who studies the industry. A classic hit with a classic line like “my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard” makes way more bank than album tracks. But if Kelis didn’t own the rights to it to begin with, she wouldn’t have made anything off of ENERGY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The writers and producers were credited and despite not owning any of the song, Beyoncé also gave Kelis credit so she'd get royalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it going to change how the song sounds? It was a minor drum beat that was sampled. This has now been removed from the version on all streaming services. The sample was so minor that it's not even noticeable, which is the biggest kii of this whole situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BnPac Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) 44 minutes ago, James_Dean said: Should've just given credit where it's due But she gave the writers credit and since Kelis has no writing and publishing credits, she made sure her name will appear as we saw on the Amazon Italia version so she could at least get that respect . Kelis was mad because she didn't get a call from Bey and thought it was stealing, lack of soul and passive-aggressive to sample her song so now the issue is resolved. We can all move on.
