Now Kelis is saying that Rihanna rode her wave

[Patrick Kane]

Why do people always do this just cause an artist had a hot song at one point.

Kelis has 2 maybe 3 popular songs along with ZERO platinum albums. Nobody was looking for the next Kelis.

The revisionist history is crazy lmao women didn’t even rock with Kelis like that. The only chicks I knew rocking with Kelis were the kinda weirdo broads with septum rings and tattoos back in 03-04.

Kelis didn’t have no damn heavy influence like that and I was an OG N.E.R.D Stan and remember vividly when she was making those early record with them. She was dope in her own right and had records but she wasn’t making hits like that. She wasn’t big enough for people to copy off her

 

[ViShawn]

I really like Kelis' voice but DAMN girl you're getting annoying.

 

[ExodusNirvana]

Kelis never had the juice that Rhi Rhi did and I wasn't even a Rihanna fan when she first hit the scene

Of course they did, Kelis was big enough and still till this day has a cult following.

Well, people forget that Kelis was making boss moves, she was the first girl to scream on the track and told young stunna to switch to BAPE

She had 5-6 legit hits and was very popular

She the song with odb "baby I got your money"

Then "I hate you so much right now"
Then "get along with you"

Then she had "milkshake" Then she had "bossy"

And she went gold multiple times

Let's not act like Kelis doesn't have a significant body of work.

Ugghhhhh that’s not how art works bruh. Not saying the Rihanna/ Kelis steez is true or not, but many artist in all realm steal influences/ideas from the lesser successful acts. It’s a thing where you take something niche and make it mainstream. That’s the reason why more underground acts/niche artists get sharked, as opposed to stealing/being influenced from successful acts. Most people won’t believe the lesser known.

With kelis, it wasn’t just her music y’all. It was her look and image. That alternative black artist look. Pharrell even said, she influenced him to switch his style up, and introduced him to high fashion. Being an music artist, is a lot of times, more than just the music.

 

[Wiseborn]

She doing what she can to get her buzz back

exactly she's trying to have a moment.

 

[Mastamimd]

Rih may have copied some of her styles from Kelis. Kelis may want to be careful tho. First she insults Beyoncé then Pharrell now Rihanna.... She begging to get fully blackballed.

Blackballed when she's practically irrelevant anyway is wild

 

[Consigliere]

What exactly is she taking credit for?

Everybody thinks they’re this great innovator. Meanwhile the label, stylist, publicist, A&R, mua, and the mofos who write your songs and make the beats are the innovators.

That’s why they can copy and paste your shyt onto a better bytch.

 

[Mastamimd]

And to her point; folk steal from people we never heard of all the time, so who's to say her words don't have any weight? It sucks but that's standard protocol for the record industry

Bossy era Kelis was the most popular though. Rhianna definitely took her style




But Rhinna is more talented than Kelis with a much better voice. I dont mind taking trivial things from the less talented to make something better.

rih was a pop princess turned bad gyal like a blacc christina aguilera. if anything i’d say teyana taylor all around jacked kelis whole steeze and just like her, her career went……..nowhere
