I heard about this the same way everyone else did.
I have the right to be frustrated, Kelis remarked.
The reason Im annoyed is because I know it was on purpose.
Williams and Chad are listed as the writer-composers of Milkshake and Kelis islistedas a performer.
I know what I own and what I dont own, Kelis said.
I also know the lies that were told.
I also know the things that were stolen.
Publishing was stolen, people were swindled out of rights it happens all the time, especially back then.
Below, a beat-by-beat breakdown why.
The way Beyonce apparently used Milkshake is also important here.
With every song that youve got out there, theres going to be two independent copyrights.
Were not talking about Keliss voice.
She may be arguing that there was something wrong about that contract that she signed.
This isnt the first time Kelis has cried foul over her treatment by the Neptunes.
Beyonce is crediting the Neptunes songwriting for Milkshake.
Again, this is because of copyright.
As with Kelis, Beyonce is listing performers of interpolated songs.
Something for the children.
