Singer-songwriter Kelis is accusing Beyoncé of stealing a sample for her new album, Renaissance. Beyoncé’s track, “Energy”, samples Kelis’ “Get Along With You” from her 1999 debut album, Kaleidoscope.

Kelis is saying the sample was used without any notification, approval or permission, and she herself didn’t know her song was being used on Beyonce’s album until she found out on social media.

The 42-year-old R&B singer made several comments online about the song, calling it “theft,” “robbery,” and “disrespectful.”
