Just days after Kelis accused Beyoncé and producers The Neptunes of theft, Beyoncé has taken action. She has swiftly removed an interpolation taken from Kelis's 2003 hit single 'Milkshake,' which was featured on her 'Renaissance' cut, 'Energy.' Kelis did not write or produce 'Milkshake.' However, original producers Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo of The Neptunes were in fact credited, and now their names have disappeared from the 'Energy' credits! Beyoncé clearly did not want the album tarred with any more negative "energy" (pun intended).
She had already received criticism following backlash for her song 'Heated.' After backlash from disability activists, she removed an offensive ableist lyric from the song. 'Renaissance' is a good album and the removal of a 10-second sample certainly isn't going to make people enjoy the music any less.
