That being said, I think a lot of artists basically don't care at the start of their careers. They trade their publishing for the exposure and credibility of getting signed. Once they have a career they look back and suddenly think they got fucked.
I don't think she necessarily got fucked over, but she should be able to renegotiate, or Pharrell & Chad should be decent enough to just do it.
And yeah she should have been kept in the loop by Pharrell about the sample. Kelis' early albums are fantastic, all credit due to her & The Neptunes. I haven't heard the new Beyonce, never was really a fan.
