@ReynoldsLawgirl commented:
"No press is bad press. Renaissance album is a creative genius. But the song by Beyoncé is so creative NOW y’all know this article or claim is a lie just like Kelis was lying. #Renaissance"
@Brandon_Banner also said:
"Make it make sense. You were credited and paid. Give the money back or shut up."

"Tell them to go cry about it."
@AshXAsh0 added:
"If they own the song & she sampled it without their permission, they would be able to sue. They said in the article that there’s nothing they can do which leads me to believe they don’t own the copyright to the song, whatever the label does. Unfortunate but hey♀️"
