What female singer worked with Pharrell? What did Pharrell do to Kelis? Did Kelis get paid for Milkshake?

American singer and songwriter, Pharrell Williams worked with Kelis Rogers from New York.

“They met in hallway. In 1996, the 16-year-old singer’s impromptu audition for The Neptunes – the avant-garde production dyad made up of Williams and his producing partner, Chad Hugo – sealed her musical fate,” reports said.

What did Pharrell do to Kelis?

According to reports, Kelis has called out Pharrell for using her song Milkshake (which was written by Pharrell) for an interpolation and being used on Beyonce’s new Renaissance album.

“Pharrell knows better. This is a direct hit at me. It is very petty. I have the right to be frustrated. Why? Because no one had the human decency to call and be like “Yo, would like to use your record,” she said.

Did Kelis get paid for Milkshake?

Kelis reportedly did not get any substantial amount for Milkshake. The song was written and produced by Pharrell and his partner Chad Hugo. Therefore, even though the 2003 song was a massive hit, Kelis being just the performer does not get the credit and loyalties of the song.
