Bangladesh’s Decades-Long Battle For ‘Bossy’ Royalties From Kelis

Bangladesh’s Decades-Long Battle For ‘Bossy’ Royalties From Kelis. For decades, Bangladesh has been engaged in a battle over royalties with American singer Kelis.

Bangladesh’s Struggle for Royalties: The Kelis Controversy

Bangladesh’s Struggle for Royalties: The Kelis Controversy.

The Kelis controversy has symbolized the challenges producers can face in getting paid.

According to Complex, settling this dispute has taken nearly 17 years.

Shondrae Crawford, better known as Bangladesh, is finally getting his due.

In 2006, Kelis released her hit song “Bossy,” and Bangladesh created beats for the song.

However, there was a discrepancy in royalties.

Kelis allegedly never signed off on distributing royalties to Bangladesh, Sean Garrett, and Jasper.

Each contributed to the lyrics, beats, and hooks on “Bossy.”

produced the catchy beat for “Bossy,” which was crucial in making the song a hit.


The dispute has highlighted a significant issue prevalent in Bangladesh’s music industry.

Furthermore, Kelis was allegedly difficult to work with, according to Bangladesh.

Is it possible this was why Kelis allegedly held up his royalties?

Waiting almost 17 years to receive money is ludicrous.

Sometimes, artists and producers don’t see eye-to-eye regarding music rights.

In this case, there was some breakdown in Kelis’s communication with Bangladesh.

Otherwise, this could have been resolved much sooner.

Finally, Bangladesh can put the issue to rest.

Although we have no idea what Bangladesh was finally paid, it does seem to be over.
