Beyoncé is dropping a new album this week, called Renaissance, Although it did leak a few days in advance, fans still rallied around her. That being said, not everyone is a fan.
Queen Bey revealed some samples she used, including Kellis’s 1999 hit record, “Get Along With You.” Apparently, it looks like Beyoncé didn’t get Kelis’s approval of using the sample.
Kelis’ fan page celebrated the singer’s inclusion on Beyoncé’s album. However, the singer expressed frustration with her main account. Kelis claimed that B.eyoncé and The Neptunes did not involve the singer involving the use of the sample.
“My mind is blown too because the level of disrespect and utter ignorance of all 3 parties involved is astounding. I heard about this the same way everyone else did. Nothing is ever as it seems, some of the people in this business have no soul or integrity, and they have everyone fooled,” she wrote.
It’s amazing that Beyoncé did not even ask for permission for sampling. Let’s hope the situation between the two will be settled before someone brings the other to court over a lawsuit.
