In a series of Instagram videos shared last week, Kelis said that Beyoncé “should have at least reached out” to her about sampling her song. “It’s not about me being jealous. Jealous of someone using my song? That’s the dumbest, most ignorant thing I’ve ever heard,” she said. “It has to do with the fact that, from one artist to another, you should have the decency and common sense and the courtesy to call.”
Furthermore, she called the perceived snub as a “direct hit at me,” saying that “Pharrell knows better.”
She added, “I have the right to be frustrated. Why? Because no one had the human decency to call and be like, ‘Yo, would like to use your record.'”
E! News previously reached to out Pharrell’s rep on the allegation but didn’t hear back.
