![]() In an interview this May with Vulture’s Craig Jenkins, Hugo sidestepped Kelis’s initial complaints to The Guardian. “I heard about her sentiment toward that,” he said. When talking about her agreement with the duo, Kelis told the British outlet, “Their argument is: ‘Well, you signed it.’ I’m like: ‘Yeah, I signed what I was told, and I was too young and too stupid to double-check it.’” In 2020, she revealed to The Guardian that she allegedly did not make any money from the sales of her first two albums, which were produced by the duo. ![]() In a follow-up post, Kelis said that “all this female empowerment stuff only counts if you really do it if you’re really living it and walking the walk” and then noted the hypocrisy when it comes to Williams and music ownership, citing a Variety interview where he championed artist rights and ownership of their work.Ī post shared by Kelis has writing credits on my records, all my singles coincidentally, and he never wrote a song and lyric a day in his life,” she said, adding that “Chad is really an amoeba, he’s spineless, it’s a miracle he can keep his neck up.” This is not the first time Kelis has complained about the Neptunes’ treatment of her. “Why? Because no one had the human decency to call and go, ‘Hey, we’d like to use your record.’ The reason I’m annoyed is because I know it was on purpose.” She also claimed Williams “swindled” her out of her older music. “I have the right to be frustrated,” she said. Kelis called Williams “petty” and that he “does this shit all the time” in order to spite her. Kelis has since released two videos on Instagram accusing Beyoncé, Williams, and Hugo of not notifying her of her song being interpolated for the track. Nothing is ever as it seems, some of the people in this business have no soul or integrity and they have everyone fooled.” I heard about this the same way everyone else did. The R&B singer soon commented on the post, expressing her disbelief: “My mind is blown too because the level of disrespect and utter ignorance of all 3 parties involved is astounding. ![]() A post shared by Kelis Trends (Fan Page) all started on July 25, when a Kelis fan page on Instagram posted that Beyoncé would be sampling a Kelis song, thus breaking the news to Kelis herself.
