As I’m standing here with my Masters Degree at the tender age of 24, I am the living proof that clothes do not define you. I encouraged every body to embrace their bodies and step outside social norms. “ With love, Terica Williams, M.Ed.

Singer-songwriter Kelis is accusing Beyoncé of stealing a sample for her new album, Renaissance.  Beyoncé’s track, “Energy”, samples Kelis’ “Get Along With You” from her 1999 debut album, Kaleidoscope. 

Kelis is saying the sample was used without any notification, approval or permission, and she herself didn’t know her song was being used on Beyonce’s album until she found out on social media.

The 42-year-old R&B singer made several comments online about the song, calling it “theft,” “robbery,” and “disrespectful.” 

“My mind is blown too because the level of disrespect and utter ignorance of all 3 parties involved is astounding” she expressed online. “I heard about this the same way everyone else did. Nothing is ever as it seems, some of the people in this business have no soul or integrity and they have everyone fooled.”

“Get Along With You” was written and produced by Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo of The Neptunes and are also listed in the artist credits for the Renaissance track, “Energy.” Kelis is not credited.

Beyoncé made no comment on the matter, instead announcing two more albums after Renaissance drops.

TikTok’s ‘Pink Sauce’ Creator Goes Live To Defend The Viral Condiment

by
Chef Pii 4

Miami-based Private Chef, Chef Pii went viral when she showed herself dipping fried chicken into a mysterious pink sauce that she created.  And she’s been at the center of the barbie colored, Pepto Bismol swirl of controversy ever since and the subject of many TikTok videos giving opinions, thoughts, and reactions to the mysterious ‘Pink Sauce.’ The Pink Sauce supposedly sweet and spicy in taste is compared by some to ranch dressing it’s a dipping sauce that can be used on top of foods like fried chicken, french fries, and vegetables, “It’s like a  vinaigrette or a Wingstop ranch because it’s not so thick” Pii explains as she doesn’t like the texture of the traditional salad dressing. 

Over the last few months, Chef Pii has been bombarded with questions, a lot of them health-related, from consumers  like, “What’s in it?” “What up with the label on the packing? (as there were many errors from spelling mistakes to the sizing being off), “Why does the shade of pink different in every picture?” and “Is it FDA approved?” The Source wants to know, why are so many people consuming this product where there are so many unanswered questions?  On Monday, the 29-year-old mother of two went live on Social media answering questions about the ‘Pink Sauce’. When someone asked whether her Pink Sauce was FDA approved she responded with  “What do you mean FDA approved?” continuing by saying  “The Pink Sauce is not a medical product. The Pink Sauce doesn’t contribute to your health.”

For the few who do not know, FDA means Food and Drug Administration, which states that the FDA “regulates all foods and food ingredients introduced into or offered for sale in interstate commerce.”  In other words, if you are going to sell food across different states, you’ll need to be fully aware of the FDA requirements. and if you go to their website they even have a page for “How to Start a Food Business” We’re working rapidly to fix all the problems, reaching back out to our customers who actually purchased the product and communicating with them diligently.“  She assures the Live attendees.   See below the Live video of Chef Pii answering consumers’ questions in its entirety. Let us know what you think in the comments.

Hurd was sure to honor her late Godfather, DMX with a tribute.

“It was really important for me to include him because I just wish he was here on such a milestone and because I haven’t even accepted the fact that he’s gone,” she told ESSENCE. “He’s my godfather and I’ll always love him and include him in things that are important to me for the rest of my life.”
