Beyoncé’s already dealing with leaks ahead of her “Renaissance” album release, and now she’s facing accusations of theft from Kelis, who says she had no part in clearing a sample for Bey’s record.

The track “Energy” samples Kelis’ “Get Along With You,” which The Neptunes produced for her 1999 debut album, so, the song’s understandably close to her heart.

A Kelis fan page was celebrating the Beyoncé pairing on IG, but then Kelis,  using her celebrity chef account @bountyandfull — hopped in the comments fuming mad!

Kelis calls “Energy” downright robbery,  insinuating everyone involved with creating and clearing the track was engaged in shady practices. She also claims she wasn’t notified prior to the album announcement, having to learn about her inclusion as if she were a normie.

Beyoncé offered a rare glimpse into her family life, and also revealed there would be 2 more albums to follow this one.

As for Kelis, she hasn’t said anything about legal action.
