After this was shared online by a Kelis fan account, the singer took to Instagram to make it known that she didn’t know about Beyonce using her song until she saw it online. She added that no one sought her permission.
Kelis used her celebrity chef account @bountyandfull to make the comment referring to what Beyonce has done as “theft”. She also accused Beyonce of “disrespect” and “utter ignorance”.
