Original Note:
Beyoncé did not ‘steal’ any intellectual property from Kelis. Pharrell Williams is the writer of ‘Milkshake’ and was contacted for sample clearing since she is just the performer of the track. Beyoncé still credited her out of courtesy but Kelis rejected the sentiment. https://lamag.com/news/kelis-smashes-pharrell-calls-out-beyonce-for-sampling-her-milkshake
