Beyoncé is righting her wrongs!
Just days after releasing her new album, Renaissance, Queen Bey has been hit with several separate controversies surrounding various lyrics in her songs. Now, she’s subtly making some changes!
As of Wednesday, the singer has released a new version of her song Energy that originally sampled Kelis’ Milkshake. The updated song (only on streaming services at this point) now no longer includes the sampled beat and Kelis’ name has been wiped from the writing credits as well. Kelis has yet to acknowledge the edit, though we’re sure she’ll be happy AF!

To prove just how mishandled the sample was, she added:
Yeesh! Not a good look for B! Good thing she changed it up! Although, for anyone who still likes to buy CDs or records, they’ll always have the OG track, so we’d think Kelis might still want some coin for that!! Just saying!
Fans don’t seem to mind the switch-up either since they’ve taken to Twitter in droves to comment on the swift action the mom of three took in light of the problem. Take a look at their hilarious responses to the sample being removed (below)!
