Kaliii Refutes Allegations That She Sampled Keyshia Cole Without Clearance

by

Last year, Kaliii broke through in a major way. She scored a lingering chart hit with her song “Area Codes.” The track delivered an impressive mix of fast wordy flows and a ton of personality. As she tries to parlay her breakthrough hit into a full blown career she just dropped a new single. The track is called “BOZO” and it contains a sample of the Keyshia Cole track “LOVE.” While many fans took notice of the sample, it seems to have caught Cole herself by surprise.

Keyshia Cole took to Twitter to make a post about having her song sampled without getting permission. While she didn’t name Kaliii directly fans in the comments were able to read between the lines. When one mentioned her name, Cole assured everyone that she didn’t want them to go after her. But eventually Kaliii herself responded assuring fans that the sample was cleared. When Cole once again refuted that it sparked a back and forth between the pair. The interaction reached the point where the rapper had to lean on the fact that any major label song released on all platforms will have it’s samples cleared. Check out the Twitter interaction below.

“BOZO”: Kaliii’s New Single Is A Pre-Valentine’s Breakup Anthem

by

February 14th is a special time of year for love birds, but for those who are feeling the weight of being single, or working through a breakup during this time of year, emotions can be running high. Thankfully, even those in the music industry know this, and they continue to release songs that cater to virtually everything their fans feel – especially heartbreak. For her first single of 2024, Atlanta’s Kaliii is making a bold return with “BOZO,” which celebrates the femcee regaining her freedom after ending a toxic relationship.

“Last night me and that ni**a broke up / I’m outside, man, that ni**a f**ked up,” the Toxic Chocolate artist says on her first verse, not holding back from the jump. “That ni**a striked out, he done played again / Caught him with a h* in her baby ass Benz,” Kaliii continues, seemingly insinuating that cheating lead to her relationship’s demise.

Kaliii is Back with an Anti-Valentine’s Day Anthem

According to Uproxx, “BOZO” will appear on the tracklist for Kaliii’s upcoming spring EP. It includes a sample of R&B icon Keyshia Cole’s “Love,” though that’s the opposite of what the young lyricist feels toward her ex. As she continues to grow into her identity as a creatiive, the “Area Codes” hitmaker has been experimenting consistently with new sounds, and we’re curious to see what other interpolations her and her team of producers might have up their sleeve.

As we’ve already noted this weekend, the women in music are seriously holding it down today in particular. You can tune into Kaliii’s visual for “BOZO” above, or find it on Spotify/Apple Music. Afterward, we’ve got plenty more must-listens from our favourite femcees, including Coi Leray, who reconnected with Metro Boomin after their Spider-Man soundtrack success for “Enjoy Yourself.” Stream that at the link below, and let us know which February releases have been your favourite so far in the comments.

His homeboy the one I should have chose

Kaliii Celebrates A Break-Up With A ‘Bozo’ In Lavish Fashion In Her New Video

by

Kaliii continues to lay down the law. Last year, the ATL rapper made a splash with her viral hit “Area Codes.” Tonight (February 9), our cover star has shared her empowered new single, “Bozo.”

The song precedes her upcoming EP, which is slated for release this spring. On “Bozo,” Kaliii makes it known she’s not the one to play with. She tells the story of a break-up, unfazed about hearing of a man’s infidelity. Evidently, Kaliii heard the news from the man’s mistress, but simply lets the woman know that she can have that man.

“Come to me as a woman? That’s a no-no / ‘Cuz who the f*ck wants smoke about a bozo,” she raps on one of the song’s verse.

The song features a prominent sample of Keyshia Cole’s “Love,” but make no mistake — Kaliii won’t be suckered back in.

After a vocal sample of Cole singing the word “love,” Kaliii raps “F*ck that, ain’t no more love for a ho” and says “his homeboy the one I should’ve chose.”

In the song’s video, Kalii is seen gossiping with her girls about the break-up, then living her best life dressed to the nines on a yacht, while the titular bozo begs for another chance.

You can watch the “Bozo” video above.

Kaliii is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
