This is such vintage Neptune’s production. “Easy come, easy go” sounds like a SMASH.

Did people already know Nas was abusive to her? Smh at people feeling bad for Nas today re his Diddy comments. Way to change the subject.

The Neptunes really did her dirty smh! Virgin f#cked over Kelis, not The Neptunes. If she thought she was getting an even 33.3% divide when they wrote and produced a majority of her first two albums she was being ultra naive. It could be because Rob Walker also took a cut being both her manager, executive producer, and co-founder of Star Trak. But with that comes the realization that Star Trak wasn't even an active label until 2002 which was after Wanderland was released. Pile on top of that her albums weren't huge sellers either. People like to bring up Caught Out There and Milkshake but Kelis didn't write either song. Wanderland never got a US release date which would already diminish the publishing she would receive, but lets take into count that it sold less than 18K in the UK alone. From CD sales alone that would've been less than $250K. Split that 3 ways and tell me how much she would've received. She said she made most of her money from touring and we see how that to this day is still the main source of income for artists because publishing checks are small when you don't sale. I love Kelis and have even met her on a couple of occasions but she needs to look at either the full scope or tell the real story between her and Pharrell. Maybe she wanted freedom, but this whole snake scenario is some BS.

Maybe she wanted freedom, but this whole snake scenario is some BS. A lot of what you are saying could and well be true but A) We don't know the details. B) I'm pretty sure the percentage deals were done prior to any album being released, so album sales of said records are irrelevant to that discussion piece (as they couldn't have known how much money was or was not going to be made). C) Even if Virgin are indeed at fault, Pharrell was her homie, so him not telling her is shady no matter what. He may not have been the main culprit but his hands were still in the cookie jar.

Had no idea she was on The Masked Singer UK. Rita Ora correctly ID'd her.

I just noticed some of the music videos from her first 3 albums have been HD remastered. I'm on my nostalgic ride now.

Who's the babyfather? Mike Mora, a real estate agent, who she married in 2014, then had a 2nd child in '15.

Sorry to hear that. :'( But, this is, idk...maybe the 10th time I have seen you post something like that or basically, any time a female artist decides that they want to bring a child into the world.

Hyped for whatever direction she goes into because she's yet to disppoint me with her studio efforts.
Kelis has a new song with Disclosure "Watch Your Step" that will be out by the end of this month!

I could skip a portion of Flesh Tone, but I love everything else.
