<p>Cats out of the bag, Roomies! <strong>Kelis</strong> took to Instagram to clarify her vague response to the news that she&#8217;s been sampled on Beyoncé&#8217;s new album and she did not hold back.</p>
<p>As we previously reported, an Instagram page belonging to<a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/kelis-seemingly-blasts-beyonce-for-sampling-her-on-beys-upcoming-renaissance-album/"> Kelis made a vague comment</a> about the &#8220;disrespect&#8221; she received from &#8220;three parties.&#8221; The account stated that the &#8216;I&#8217;m Bossy&#8217; artist was not notified about being sampled on the album.</p>
<p>In a few lengthy videos on the &#8216;gram, Kelis expressed her frustration with the team behind Bey&#8217;s album&#8211;name dropping Beyoncé, Pharrell, and Chad. She even called Beyoncé&#8217;s actions &#8220;stupid and disrepsectful&#8221; as she explained the plight of a black woman artist in the music industry.</p>
<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m a human being so I get ticked off and I get pissed off, right. I&#8217;m on artist so I&#8217;m sensitive about my sh*t. The reality is that my real beef is not ONLY with Beyoncé because at the end of the day she sampled a record, she&#8217;s copied me before, she&#8217;s sampled before. So have many other artists. It&#8217;s fine. I don&#8217;t care about that. The issue is that not only are we female artists, black female artists in an industry where there&#8217;s not that many of us, we&#8217;ve met each other, we know each other, we have mutual friends, it&#8217;s not hard. She can contact&#8230;It&#8217;s just common decency.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>One thing is for sure, Kelis was standing on what she said, and slightly touched on comments made about whether or not she owns her masters.</p>
<blockquote><p>I know what I own and what I don&#8217;t own. I also know the lies that were told. I also know the things that were stolen&#8211;publishing was stolen. People were swindled out of rights. It happens all the time, especially back then. So it&#8217;s not about me being mad about Beyoncé&#8230;She&#8217;s one issue because it was stupid and disrespectful and she should&#8217;ve at least reached out but the real issue is the fact that people like Pharrell and like Chad. Pharrell knows better. This is a direct hit at me. It&#8217;s very petty.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Neither Beyoncé or Pharrell have made statements about the situation.</p>
