Beyoncé Removes “Milkshake” Interpolation From ‘RENAISSANCE’
Beyoncé has removed the interpolation of Kelis‘ “Milkshake” from the RENAISSANCE track “Energy” after the latter accused her of “theft.” According to Rolling Stone, the version of “Energy” that can be streamed on TIDAL and Apple no longer includes the sample.

But it’s beyond this song at this point,” she wrote on Instagram. “This was a TRIGG...

Beyoncé Removes Kelis Interpolation From “Energy” Amid Controversy Over Credits
Upon its original release, Beyoncé’s new album Renaissance included an interpolation of Kelis’ “Milkshake” on “Energy.” Kelis has said she was not informed by Beyoncé and her team that her music was going to be used on the new album.
