Kelis has dropped a bombshell in a new interview, claiming the Neptunes, aka Pharrell and Chad Hugo, ripped her off during the early days of her career.

In an interview with The Guardian, Kelis claims she didn’t make any money off her first two albums, 1999’s “Kaleidoscope” and 2001’s “Wanderland,” both produced by The Neptunes.

“Their argument is: ‘Well, you signed it.’ I’m like: ‘Yeah, I signed what I was told, and I was too young and too stupid to double-check it,’” she explained about their contractual agreement.
