OH No!! Kelis Gets DROPPED From Record Label!!!

: Looks like Jive Records is finished with R&B singer Kelis. MediaTakeOut.com has confirmed that the record label has officially dropped the Milkshake artist from it's label.

Here's what Kelis manager, Jeff Rabhan had to say about being dropped:

It was a case of being in the ever-shrinking world of the record industry and finding herself on a label she wasn’t signed to and without a champion. We’re not opposed to another major label deal, but it would have to be non-traditional ... [Kelis] is a different kind of artist — very image and style-driven. It’s either something you get or you don’t.
Obviously most people don’t get her, cause she ain't been able to sell records for a hot minute....

BigSke76

She needs to go head and sign with Kanye and G.O.O.D music. That would be hot for her to do a song with 'Ye. She still sexy though.


murdadem

thats a shame cause her last album was as good as her 1st. whether she acquires a deal or not, kelis will be okay. shes a hustler.


SWEET_TEA

MAYBE SHE CAN PICK UP A CONTRACT WITH BUBBLELICIOUS....THAT HAIR IS PERFECT FOR THE JOB!!


strawcream

LMAO! Maybe she should get her husband to do a remix.....That might help rappin' azz Nas!


DetroitPlaya

Nas doesn't need any help, strawcream.

Don't believe Jay Z--Nas is the best rapper alive, ni99a ask about him.


misssugar23

She has never sold a record, and bossy was alright.


HennyzBack

ok this is my 1st post in new to this .... so ww/ that said ...

Maybe Nas should sign her to his Non-Label.. Ill Will Records... lol... YEAH RIGHT....


Titus

She should go back to star trak she sounds better and was doing better with the neptunes



plug

mmmm what a good converstation over a hot cup of tea


cremesaver

She's been rapping on Nas dyck for life what she need a label for??


luckychic

I feelm bad for her! I like her in a weird way!


Life77

as soon as i saw that pic i thought about cotton candy. now i got a darn cavity


Hot_Coco_Luv

Not surprised. Somebody should have told her that it takes more than having one hit per CD to be a top selling artist!

xugarbush-nyc

IF THIS IS TRU...OH WOW!! HOPE SHE FINDS ANOTHER LABLE TO GO TO !! AND YEAH, SHE IS A VERY UNIQUE ARTIST!! BTW..HOW OLD IS THE PIC ABOVE? SHE LOOKS A MESS THERE & I LOVE ME SOME KELIS BUT DAMN!


girlygirl

Well I'm happy. If I never hear another single from this chick I would be all too pleased! Leave the singing to the real singers!


RockStarMami

oh well....another discharge queen gone in the sky blue....she better be suckin nas off real good now :)~


Tdot_ice

F**K Jive records any way! She's still one of the sickest female artists out there.


Pappy

She'll be back.


lilmommy3

AWWWW Kelis boo boo...WIT ya man comin out wit that album called N*gger ya finna both be broke...


IceQueen

1. NAS is ILLLL. Forget all the personal bullsh*t, he is a mean lyricist.

2. Kelis has a sweet style. She was "different" from Day 1 Maybe she should go to Europe. They are less fooled by hyped up manufactured "artists"!


bew-t

I liked her, she just hadn't came out with anything in a minute...

With the right promotions she'd be the bomb...

She's definitely a cross over artist!!!


Tina42082

Hahaha I can't stand Kelis, I LOVE her husband Nas could get it anytime. Who cares about this chick anyways.


hearmenow

Damn,that saying of what comes around goes around should have really been part of Kellis's motto. Kellis dogged her old label cause she had issues with Pharrell and the direction he wanted her to go in now she has no direction or label.HAHA

Ignorance is bliss upon those who settle. You dont measure an artist by how many records they sell or how commercial they are ie; look at Milly Vanilly they sold alot of records and even received awards, Lil Wayne is considered one of the top rappers and he never sold millions and millions of records. Everyone hating on Kelis talking about she never sold would rather buy Soulja Boy so he can "super soak them hoes", while good music like Kelis is never even giving a chance. Listen to Get Along With you, Suspended, I want your love or in the morning off of Kaleidoscope// Young Fresh N New,Popular Thug, Scared Money,Shooting Stars off of Wanderland//Millionaire, Stick Up, Keep It Down off of Tasty//Whats that right there, til the whels fall off, Aww [EXPLETIVE] off of Kelis Was Here and then tell me she is not truly a needed artist. Music is supposed evoke different emotions within you, make you relate and feel like you can get through whatever and make you actually THINK and Kelis music does that. If you dont get it you miss out so continue on shaking your laffy taffy and super soaking them hoes because ignorance is bliss upon those who settle and among those who dont allow themselves a chance to look beyond the Status Quo/Mainstream.


StillMusiqal

if i put out a crappy track like bossy, then maybe a label should drop me.....kelis has lost her edge and sold out to that pop bull...let this be a wake up call, this era of bad music is coming to an end....


cat4everrr

any black female who has lasted as long as she has my repect, it's hard out here for black females. I wish her well


buckcherry02

northernhospitality

Them records was with the Neptunes, so your basically sayin that without the Neptunes, SHE AINT SHYT...RIGHT????


PrettyBrownGirl

She should have been dropped a VERY long time ago! She can't sing!!!


vidabida

She should have stayed with Star Trak (Pharell). It seems like she could be herself through her music with them. I really like her. And it's true she has that style that either you like or dislike. Too bad most Americans won't open up to her style. She's accepted more overseas. I hope things work out for her.


fashiondesigner

what she needs to do is get rid of that silly pink hair


hottie10

no suprise there her albums sucked oh wait there were only 2 of them


luvmykidz

Dayum!!! It wasn't like her music was like that anyways!!


iluvyellaboys

So what!


hotamale

aw that is ashame, I like Kelis. My favorite song by her is that " I hate you so much right now " song


northernhospitality

Check the credits neptunes only did like ine song on Tasty and that was milkshake. The other tracks were done by various producers like her latest album Kelis was Here and she still had bangers on the album w/o The Neptunes. Even if they did the beats she still wrote and co wrote the songs.


halfapino

Kelis is mediocre at best. She sucks.


NigerianBabe

Gosh! Why the choice of those $2.99 earrings?



brownsuga_delight

she can't sing noway


blackapple

...one thing is certain, if and WHEN you hav a head banger...the public will respond


blackapple

...but she DID hav a banging song and video w/NAS...don't remember the name...but it was a sexy dominatrix kinda video. and she looked very pretty... kelis nas..jay and b should do a head bangin quartet... we have yet to see that... if anybody reading this that can make it happen... i got the song beat and video concept ready...


Goodhope247

I thought she was big overseas??? I dont know i liked her tasty CD alot.


email2michael

@blackapple It's called Blindfold me and it is HOT, love that damn video and Kelis' body in it!!


kevinkeyz

(hee) and you AGREED with me too? this is waaay better than being first!.... hav a cool day!... wish i could buy you lunch


Lockstress

guess the milkshake went sour there!


murdadem

LMAO @ lockstress


MsMandy

Hey, I like Kelis. She may be weird but she is a true artist. What would the game be like if every artist was the same????? But good lawd, what up with the pink... tmakes me want ctton candy...now!


LadyKai

She has her own style and manages to crank out a hit or 2 every so often but for the most part she has thus far been just an ok singer. Nothing great about her singing skills vocally sorry! You have to come with somethign better than "My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard or "Im bossy" to stay afloat in this industry! Record abels are in business to make money and if they sign you to their abe and you fail to make them money they will eventualy drop your ass for someone who will ok .Reality hello? HELLO


knee-grow

lmao oh well =[ life goes on...

Harlemchick

So.................................................................................What she was wickedy wack any way.


haterz

To all y'all who say she's weird, she's an individual in a time of cloned beats, cloned breasts and hair weaves. Yeah, she can't sing but she has become a name on the sheer force of her personality and ability to recreate and define herself.

She will survive this. Change your hair.


kymelle

UMPH, UMPH, UMPH- What was she doing, I haven't heard a jam from her since "milkshake" (which I have on my ipod), given her recent shinanikins and poor sales, its about time. She was a total waste of an expense account.



ashleirw

she dont make no constant hits i would drop her 2


mymei

I like Kelis. I adore the short hairstyle. Its good on her. So many girls are trying to get that hairstyle now but it only looks good on Kelis.
