The New York City-native possesses the same confidence she has with music with food as well. Kelis has penned a cookbook, My Life on a Plate, and started her own beloved sauce line, Bounty & Full. Most recently, she partnered with Lactaid on the company’s “It’s Dairy” campaign. The campaign aims to show buyers that you can enjoy a milkshake made with real dairy — including the nutrients, flavor, taste and texture — without the stomach discomfort. The singer shared a remix of “Milkshake” for the campaign Tuesday on Instagram.

Kelis told Blavity that when Lactaid approached her with the idea for “It’s Dairy,” she was skeptical.

“I didn’t know enough about what lactose-free meant,” she said. I had to do my research, because I always feel like eating real ingredients, they’re always my first choice. I don’t like substitutes. I don’t like anything artificial.”

After going down a “rabbit hole of information” and learning that “it’s actually dairy and that Lactaid is actually milk,” she was sold.

“I was like, Oh, this is actually really cool,” she said. “I don’t think people really realize like it is real milk. And so you can have real milk and you can do all the things you do with a milk.”
