Beyoncé is already dealing with leaks ahead of the release of her “Renaissance” album, and now she’s facing accusations of theft from Kelis … who says she had no part in clearing a sample for Bey’s record.
The song “Energy” samples Kelis’ “Get Along With You,” which The Neptunes produced for her 1999 debut album — so understandably, the song is close to her heart.
A Kelis fan page celebrated the Beyoncé pairing on IG, but then Kelis — using her celebrity chef account @bountyandfull — took to the comments, freaking out!
Kellis calls “Energy” an outright rip-off … implying that everyone involved in creating and clearing the track was involved in shady practices. Eh!
The eclectic singer also claims she wasn’t notified before the album was announced that she should have learned about her inclusion, as if it was the norm.
Reports of Beyoncé’s seventh album leaking spread like wildfire yesterday, but a concerned Bey took no notice of the contraband (or Kelly for that matter) on Thursday.
Instead, she offered a rare glimpse into her family life and also revealed that there will be 2 more albums to follow this one.
Here’s a special message from Beyoncé. #RENAISSANCE
Dedicated to her children, her husband, her family, her godfather Uncle Johnny and to the LGBTQ+ community and all the pioneers who created the culture and the fallen angels whose contributions have gone unrecognized. pic.twitter.com/hm6Om9fi52

As for Kelis, she hasn’t said anything about legal action, but who knows how far that will go. We’re sure the Beyhive will be waiting and watching closely. That’s what they do.
