Unlike legendary Gospel songstress Twinkie Clark (as we reported here), Kelis was far from appreciative for being listed among contributors to Beyonce‘s new album ‘Renaissance’ (due on digital shelves July 29).

Apparently having new reason to shout ‘I hate you so much right now,’ the 42-year-old waxed honest about her disappointment on not receiving a heads up her moderate 1999 hit ‘Get Along with You’ would be included alongside others on Bey’s forthcoming LP as a sample for the song ‘Energy.’

Inciting backlash from the Queen’s fans (affectionately called #Beyhive) for her rant, look inside to read the stinging words that still have the fan group swarming.

Like Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Mary J. Blige, and many of music’s biggest divas over the years, Beyonce has made no secret of her admiration of the legendary Gospel group The Clark Sisters – even sampling the sister act’s song ‘Ha Ya’ on the JAY-Z-led ‘4:44’ track ‘Family Feud’ (as we reported here).

Five years later, Bey is revisiting The Clarks via ‘Church Girl,’ a track on her new album ‘Renaissance’ (hitting shelves July 29).

Ahead of its arrival, the lead singer of the GRAMMY-winning quartet – affectionately known as Twinkie Clark – took to social media to salute the 40-year-old for revamping their early 80’s tune ‘Center of Thy Will’ for the highly anticipated LP.

Belgian singer-songwriter Stromae is no stranger to cranking out chart-topping hits in his native country, but now he’s looking to repeat the feat Stateside.

Tapping ‘Havana’ hitmaker Camila Cabello to assist, the two have joined forces for the summery pop collaboration ‘Mon Amour.’

“Twenty, Something, First time i’m free / This summer, I belong to me / ’cause that new bad bunny made a bad girl outta me / Give me that reggaeton, Give me party party,” she croons.

Produced by Stromae’s younger brother Luc Van Haver, look inside to fall in love with ‘Mon Amour’ and peep its accompanying music video.
