Welp, if that's true, she look even dumber for signing over her publishing for something he ain't write :francis:

He wrote and produced it with Chad. He later said (after things fell apart with Kelis) that he wished he gave the song to Britney because it would’ve been an absolute smash.

By the time that album that milkshake was on came out, things were strained with her and the Neptunes and she said she wanted to work with other producers — and they let her rock. Milkshake was the biggest song on it and the biggest song of her career

So the Neptunes reused some song they made for Kelis and she’s mad she didn’t get a courtesy credit even though they didn’t have to?
She did get a credit in the notes. She just didn't get a phone call or paid lol

To a certain extent I can see her issue with Bey not reaching out to say hey I'm gonna sample your song. Just on some mutual respect between professionals.
That’s like Gordon Ramsay checking in with the manager at McDonalds because he re-created their secret sauce.

nikkas saying she didn't write anything but we know how funny industry cats can be with writing credits. pharrell let that cac robin thicke have writing credit on blurred lines and when the marvin gaye lawsuit came robin said he aint write shyt and was up in the studio high and drunk as hell. they could've broke ole girl off something

I don't think she's asking for anything crazy. she didn't even ask for money in them videos. she just said it would've been nice to know about it. maybe they could've pulled her in and had her be a part of the creative process and broke her off some credits. but it's also possible she burned a bridge so badly that they aint even wanna involve her. which again begs the question of why even sample her. it does come off as a petty power move by pharrell since she's been going at him for a minute


Maybe they would have reached out for a video. But probably not,just another case of Beyonce wanting to use the rest of female rnb as her footstool while never paying homage. Salute to all the humbly spirited women of rnb who have no problem giving homage to those who came before them. And giving an ounce of credit or shine to their peers,and even those beneath them.

I felt the same way, the cypher will only be complete if Ameriie chimes in.
