Kelis says Beyoncé used Her song on Renaissance without permission

Never Pork

Beyoncé’s latest album is already the subject of controversy.

A song named Energy from the 40-year-old singer’s upcoming seventh album, Renaissance, is rumored to have been sampled from Kelis’ 1999 debut album, Get Along With You. The 42-year-old singer was apparently unaware that the tune was sampled until it was accidentally posted online on Wednesday – and she wasn’t happy about it either!

Fans of Kelis were shocked when a Kelis fan account on Instagram announced “@Beyonce’s RENAISSANCE album will include a @kelis sample on the song “Energy,” with a mind-blown emoji,” and Kelis responded in the comments area through her @bountyandfull page. And she didn’t hold back when it came to naming Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, the song’s writers and producers, as well as those of Beyoncé and The Neptunes:

“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”

“I just heard the record everyone is saying has my sample. But it’s beyond this song at this point. This was a TRIGGER for me. Milkshake alone is one of the most licensed records of our generation. I am a creator, I’m an innovator, and I have done more than left my mark on an era of music and style that will go down in history. But there are bullies and secrets and gangsters in this industry that smile and get away with it until someone says enough is enough. So I’m saying it today. I’m coming for what’s mine and I want reparations. Peace .”

Kelis and The Neptunes have been feuding over the ownership of her earlier work. Her first two albums were planned to be shared 50/50 between her and the producing pair, but that never happened. To be honest, she claimed that neither of her first two albums made her any money at all. The performer claims that he was “blatantly lied to and deceived” when signing contracts.

In spite of what I was informed, we didn’t split the bill in half at 33/33/33.” Because you signed it, their reasoning goes, ‘So what?’ “Yeah, I signed what I was instructed because I was too young and ignorant to double-check it.”

ISTHATPORKS TAKE:

Artist and their catalog is always a touchy situation. The business that ties it all together is even touchier. What we can say is that a cat fight is always interesting. But, in this case, Beyonce' may be out of range and out of reach for Kelis to make any real turbulence in the world of Queen Bee. We have to wait and see. Gonna be interesting. We like both so the PORK DETECTOR IS OUT!

Diddy’s Joker costume from the 1989 film provided plenty of laughs on Halloween night. On the other hand, he may have been too immersed in his role when he had a weekend altercation with “Power” actor Michael J. Ferguson.

On camera, Ferguson refers to Diddy as “p—-,” prompting the rapper to laugh like the Joker and label Ferguson “clown.”

“What’s up, baby? You don’t like me,” Diddy asked Ferguson. “Then motherf—— get to it, n—-. If you don’t like me, you motherf—— fronting. Get to it b—-. Don’t f—— play with me on Halloween. I’m out here with love, n—-.”

At this moment, Ferguson still seems to be unaware that the man behind the mask is actually Diddy, as he keeps attacking the performer.

“You f—— p—-, make sure you won’t never talk to me that like,” Diddy said. “We’re having a good time. Why do you want to come at me like that? You got a problem? You really taking over my energy right now. What did I do to you? Do you know who I am?”

Diddy then tells him who he is, and it deescalates.

Janet has yet to respond, though. But others have.

Kanye West to Buy Conservative Social Platform Parler After Twitter, Instagram Ban

The controversial conservative social networking site Parler has announced that it will be acquired by Kanye West.

Parler’s parent company, Parlement Technologies, released a statement on Monday stating that they are “pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement in principle for Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, to acquire the Parler platform.”

Further, “the acquisition guarantees Parler a future role in developing an uncancelable ecosystem where all opinions are welcome,” the company said.

President and CEO of Parler George Farmer remarked, “Ye’s acquiring of Parler will strengthen our ability to create an uncancelable ecosystem. No one should have to self-censor out of uncertainty about which legal speech will get him or her banned. No individual or business should worry about being completely deplatformed, as Parler was, merely for the expression of opposing viewpoints. 

We intend for Parler to always be a safe space for open discussion and open minds. We shall keep up our resistance to tyranny, censorship, and cancel culture.

The 45-year-old artist and entrepreneur Kanye West bought Parlor after having his Twitter account suspended earlier this month for a regulation violation.

The Hollywood Reporter claims that in a now-deleted tweet, West threatened to unleash “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.”

“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” he wrote, per the outlet. “The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”

Twitter took this action after the Grammy winner had his account blocked by Instagram and had content deleted from his profile for breaking Instagram’s terms of service, as reported by NBC News and CNN.

Even though many people were offended by a post published by West that has since been deleted, a Meta spokeswoman would not clarify to any outlet what content was in violation.

The “Stronger” singer posted a screenshot of a conversation he had with Sean “Diddy” Combs, in which it appeared that West had said Combs, 52, was under Jewish influence. He captioned the photo, “Jesus is Jew,” as reported by NBC News.
