After Trick Me singer Kelis accused her of “theft,” Beyoncé appeared to have taken the sample out of her recently released song Energy.
Stunning Beyoncé
According to Rolling Stone, the fifth song from Beyoncé’s Renaissance album on Tidal and Apple does not contain a sample of the singer’s 2003 song Milkshake.
According to a report from Entertainment Weekly, Kelis’ sample is still present on the track that has received criticism on Spotify.

This is in response to the 42-year-old singer’s Instagram comment on a fan page that shared a photo of the two musicians and wrote, “@Beyonce’s Renaissance album will include a @kelis sample on the song “Energy.”
Before writing, “My mind is blown too because the level of disrespect and utter ignorance of all three parties involved is astounding,” Kelis added, “It’s not a collab, it’s theft.”
“Like everyone else, I learned about this. Nothing is ever exactly as it seems, and some people in this industry are soulless and dishonest, she continued.
She then responded to claims that she was “jealous” of Beyoncé by posting video statements on the app owned by Meta.
“The truth is that I don’t really have a beef with Beyoncé alone because, at the end of the day, she sampled my song and has done it before. Many other artists, including her, have also done this before. I don’t care about that, it’s fine,” she remarked.
“The problem is that there aren’t that many Black female artists in the industry, even though we are female artists. We know each other, have met, and have friends in common. It’s not difficult. She is reachable, right? Kelis tacked on.
