before their release, congratulations on making it to the future.For a second time since “Renaissance” dropped (checks notes) four whole days ago, Beyoncé has reached back for a record re-do, this time to squash a public beef with fellow pop singer Kelis, bits of whose 2003 hit “Milkshake” will no longer be heard on Track 5, “Energy.”Earlier this week, Beyoncé changed the lyrics to “Heated,” Track 11 on “Renaissance,” to remove a word that’s considered an ableist slur. Two days later, she quietly replaced “Energy” with a new version, too.The original “Energy” was interpolated with a bit of “Milkshake,” including Beyoncé singing a variation of the song’s memorable la-la-las.

Variety about the singer's decision to from her new album, Renaissance, the 49-year-old activist asked for another edit to the artist's oeuvre. “uhmm, while we're at it…” she wrote on Twitter on Monday night. She added the hashtag “#Partition," referring to Beyoncé's 2013 song from her self-titled album which features a lyric about Lewinksy. This content can also be viewed on the site it from.In case you missed it, on Monday, Aug.

Beyoncé’s new song ‘Heated’ – which the singer has since edited to remove the offensive term – suggesting that she also change a lyric on her 2015 hit ‘Partition’.Released as the third single from Beyoncé’s self-titled 2015 album, ‘Partition’ features a lyric that name-drops Lewinsky. Referring to Lewinsky’s infamous scandal with former US President Bill Clinton, Bey sings on the track: “Oh, he so horny, yeah he want to fuck / He popped all my buttons, he ripped my blouse / He Monica Lewinsky’d all on my gown.” Lewinsky first addressed the lyrics in a 2014 article written for Vanity Fair, wherein she said: “Thanks, Beyoncé, but if we’re verbing, I think you meant ‘Bill Clinton’d all on my gown’.”Now, she’s revived talk of the reference on Twitter, responding to the news that Beyoncé would change an ableist lyric on the song ‘Heated’, which appears on her just-released ‘Renaissance’ album.

Monica Lewinsky added her voice to the Beyoncé backlash and pleaded with the singer to remove a lyric from her 2013 song, "Partition," which addressed the scandal involving former President Bill Clinton. Following criticism from the disability rights community about Beyoncé  using an "ableist" term in a new song on her "Renaissance" album, Lewinsky asked fans to look more into the singer's history with offensive remarks. "Uhmm, while we're at it… #Partition," Lewinsky tweeted Monday to her million followers, referencing lyrics from the song released on Bey's self-titled, fifth studio album.

Beyoncé has made a second update to her just-released seventh album, ‘Renaissance’, removing an interpolation of Kelis’ 2003 hit ‘Milkshake’ from the album cut ‘Energy’.Shortly after ‘Renaissance’ was released last Friday (July 29), Kelis took to social media to claim that Beyoncé used elements of ‘Milkshake’ without her express permission. She alleged that Pharrell Williams (who wrote and produced ‘Milkshake’ with Chad Hugo as The Neptunes) would have cleared the interpolation as a “direct hit” at her, and that nobody from Beyoncé’s team had reached out to let the singer know her song would be referenced.The original version of ‘Energy’ interpolates the “la la la la” refrain that’s first heard around the 30-second mark on ‘Milkshake’.

Beyoncé confirmed that she would be changing a lyric in her song “Heated," Monica Lewinsky is suggesting another change to an older track.The outspoken activist and public speaker took to Twitter on Monday, where she shared a link to an article about Beyoncé's decision to change a lyric deemed offensive on her new album.Lewinsky remarked, «uhmm, while we’re at it… #Partition.»uhmm, while we’re at it… #Partition Beyoncé to Remove Renaissance Lyric After Outrage: Ableist, Offensive — Variety https://t.co/DzN80FdzPBLewinsky's comment is in reference to Beyoncé's 2014 single «Partition,» in which she refers to Lewinsky by name, in connection to her infamous relationship with Bill Clinton in the mid-'90s.«Now my mascara running, red lipstick smudged/ Oh he so horny, he want to f**k/ He popped all my buttons, and he ripped my blouse/ He Monica Lewinsky’d all on my gown.»Back in 2014, Lewinsky spoke out for the first time in years in an op-ed for about how she managed to overcome the abuse and public shaming directed at her following the Clinton scandal. In the article, she addressed «Partition» and suggested a change to the lyrics: «Thanks, Beyoncé, but if we’re verbing, I think you meant ‘Bill Clinton’d all on my gown,’ not ‘Monica Lewinsky’d.’»On Monday, one Twitter user asked Lewinsky if she'd ever actually reached out to Beyonce or her reps about the lyric.«No, i haven’t.

Monica Lewinsky hopes she can convince Beyoncé to change her tune once again!
