Now Kelis is saying that Rihanna rode her wave

[UpAndComing]

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.

Its been 19 years since she had a hit song. Thought she was already blackballed

I enjoy Kelis’ music, but I don’t know about this.

Op, kelis never made that claim, as you can see, some random fan did and she shut it down.

What wave? she had like 1 hit maybe 2 charting singles

Alternative black girl color hair, hard core, bad ass pop rock and rap. Black girls weren’t doing that (which is also why Nas was so attracted to her initially and he said it out his own mouth) she was the first to get popular doing it and inspired many. Chloe Bailey cited kelis as one of her biggest inspirations so not surprised that Beyonce copied kelis bc Bey low key has copied CxH before.

Kelis peak was 2003.

Rihanna didn't debut until 2005 and didn't sound nothing like her.

Partially true. I’d say she definitely jacked her and FeFe Dobson. Kelis didn’t dance or sing but she was very appealing Stylistically which bore similarities to Rihanna’s post debut album launch.

It’s wasn’t even partial

You can say a lot about Kelis, but she def was original. When Aaliyah died, everybody was looking for the next one..Kelis was different from Ashanti, Ciara etc

Oddly enough no one could feel the void Aaliyah left not even beyonce because Aaliyah had the cute girl next door vibe with hella swag...
