Kelis confirms she’s “happy” that Milkshake interpolation was revamped from new Beyonce track

Kelis has welcomed the removal of the ‘Milkshake’ interpolation from new Beyonce track ‘Energy’.An edited version of that track was pushed out to streaming services earlier this week after Kelis criticised the original version.In posts on social media last week, she confirmed that she had not been told that an element of ‘Milkshake’ would appear within ‘Energy’, though the writers of her 2003 hit – Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo – were credited on the Beyonce song, suggesting they had cleared the interpolation.Kelis has criticised Williams and Hugo before, claiming that she was misled back in the day regarding who would be credited on the songs they all collaborated on, and how the copyright in those works would be shared out.It’s not clear why Beyonce decided to remove the ‘Milkshake’ interpolation from ‘Energy’, it may have been more a PR move than the result of any legal concerns relating to Kelis’s complaints. But either way, Kelis is happy that her criticisms were noted by the Beyonce camp.She confirmed this when responding to comments on an unrelated Instagram post, in which Beyonce fans were giving her grief about the re-edit.As noted by Complex, one person commented: “You happy Beyoncé took that sample off?? Cry baby”.

Kelis “happy” Beyoncé removed ‘Milkshake’ interpolation from ‘Renaissance’ track: “I won”

Kelis has responded to the news that Beyoncé has removed the interpolation of ‘Milkshake’ from ‘Renaissance’ track ‘Energy’, after Kelis claimed elements of the song were used without her permission or proper credit.Earlier this week, ‘Renaissance’ was updated on streaming platforms to remove the interpolation, following Kelis referring to its use as “theft”. While the official credits for ‘Energy’ mention that ‘Milkshake’ is interpolated on it, only The Neptunes – Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo – who wrote and produced the song, are credited as songwriters.

Renaissance track following complaint

A nod to Kelis's "Milkshake" has been removed from Beyoncé's Renaissance track "Energy" after a complaint from the artist. Kelis claimed that she received no warning that her 2003 song would be interpolated into the new song, leaving her feeling "disrespected." She went on to add that, as she is not credited as a writer or producer on her own song, she stood to gain no financial benefit from the use of the track but that her Neptunes collaborators Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo would.

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.

Beyonce removes ‘Milkshake’ interpolation from new track following criticism form Kelis

A new version of new Beyonce track ‘Energy’ has appeared on some of the streaming services with an element borrowed from Kelis hit ‘Milkshake’ removed. The rework follows criticism from Kelis last week, who said that she was not aware that a track on Beyonce’s new album ‘Renaissance’ would include an interpolation of her song, even though the writers and producers of ‘Milkshake’ had seemingly signed off on its inclusion.Kelis recorded ‘Milkshake’ with her frequent early collaborators The Neptunes – aka Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo – for her third album, 2003’s ’Tasty’, which was also released by the production duo’s label.She has criticised Williams and Hugo before, accusing them of backtracking on commitments regarding who would be credited on, and share in the copyright from, the songs they made together.

Beyoncé updates ‘Renaissance’ to remove reportedly unauthorised Kelis sample

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 agrees to cut offensive ‘ableist’ slur from ‘Renaissance’ track

heated over Beyoncé’s use of an “ableist” slur. Virtual hellfire is currently consuming social media, owing to controversy sparked by Queen Bey’s use of the term “sp – – z” on her new “Renaissance” track “Heated.”On her rhythmic rump-shaker, Beyoncé, 40, croons, “Sp – – zin’ on that ass, sp – – z on that ass/ Fan me quick, girl, I need my glass.”And disability advocates are calling out the vocal voluptuary for her lyrical mis-Bey-havior. “So @Beyonce used the word ‘sp – z’ in her new song Heated. Feels like a slap in the face to me, the disabled community…” penned one Twitter user in a now-viral tweet.In the UK, “sp – – z,” which is derived from the word “spastic,” is viewed as a derogatory slight against people with cerebral palsy —  a congenital disorder of movement, muscle tone or posture caused by abnormal brain development during gestation. However, in the US, the term is often casually used to suggest that a person is going to wildly let loose or has expertly completed a major feat.  Representatives for Beyoncé told The Post, “The word, not used intentionally in a harmful way, will be replaced,” adding, “The road to success is always under construction.”In June, pop songstress Lizzo, 34, was also virtually blasted by digital detractors who called for her cancellation after she sang, “Do you see this s – – t? I’m a sp – z,” on the track “Grrrls.”Following the backlash, Lizzo released a statement on Twitter, apologizing for her verbal flub, and vowing to remove the lyric from her song. “It’s been brought to my attention that there are [sic] is a harmful word in my song ‘GRRRLS,’ ” the “Truth Hurts” songstress wrote on Twitter.“Let me make one thing clear: I never want to promote derogatory language.

Beyoncé faces backlash over ableist slur on new ‘Renaissance’ track ‘Heated’

Beyoncé has been criticised for using an ableist slur on her new album ‘Renaissance’.The star faced a backlash over the use of an offensive term on her new track ‘Heated’, where Beyoncé sings: “Sp***in’ on that ass, sp** on that ass,” towards the end of the song.While used colloquially in the United States with a similar meaning to “freak out” or “go crazy”, the term emerges from the word “spastic”, which is used medically to describe the spasms one might experience from a condition like cerebral palsy. The term is often used in a derogative manner to describe those with disabilities, especially cerebral palsy.It comes just weeks after Lizzo also received a backlash over an ableist lyric in her single ‘Grrrls’, which she has since addressed and altered.So @Beyonce used the word 'spaz' in her new song Heated.
