When it comes to Renaissance<\/em><\/span> criticism, Beyonc\u00e9 has favored quietly removing certain samples or lyrics over making public statements. First, she changed a lyric some fans deemed ableist<\/span>and yesterday, she removed<\/span> an interpolation of Kelis’ \u201cMilkshake\u201d that the artist claims Beyonc\u00e9 never consulter her on. But her legions of fans (collectively known as the Beyhive) tend to take on a different strategy\u2014one Kelis has been quick to call out. The artist some of her feelings on the expressed controversy post-removal in the comments section of a new post on her official Instagram<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Ironically enough, the August 3 post where the drama grew heated was a largely inoffensive (and downright positive) post. Kelis shared a selfie of herself wearing shocking red, captioned with the self-love mantra: \u201cBorn in the heat of summer. I am my own validation . To all my beautiful AUGUSTANS, good morning.\u201d <\/p>\n

However, a quick scroll to the comments revealed a very different energy, as some Beyhive members added Kelis for calling out Beyonc\u00e9 (and seemingly worse in their eyes, receiving a response by way of Beyonc\u00e9 editing the track) \u201cYou happy girl? Now u irrelevant again,\u201d one commenter sneered. Kelis took no time offering her honest response: \u201cYes I am actually. lol nobody cried.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the comments, Kelis also expressed her shock at the intense, and often vicious, unionizing efforts of Beyonce’s fan base. \u201ci ain’t never seen folks go so hard for someone that they never met or know personally. It’s got cult written all over it,\u201d Kelis responded to one sympathetic comment accusing the Beyhive of acting \u201cstraight crazy.\u201d <\/p>\n

At the end of the day however, Kelis appears unconcerned about Beyonc\u00e9 fans wishing her a fast ticket to irrelevance. The way she sees it, she got her wish for \u201cMilkshake\u201d justice while bringing up a valuable industry conversation: \u201cI said what needed to be said. #iwin.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
