Kelis has told 5Live she is "not offended" by being classed as a hip hop artist, but it shows there is still "ignorance" in the music industry

The musician told Sarah Brett "If I wasn't a black artist, if I was Korean or Polish, there would be a totally different title for me."

鈥淚'm not offended because I am black and I'm super proud of it but I just feel like, the ignorance level is right up there. I don't know that it鈥檚 got any better and I doubt it ever will.鈥�

Asked about how female musicians are portrayed in music today she said it鈥檚 鈥渄evoid of creativity鈥� and while she doesn鈥檛 mind artists being naked she has an issue when their music 鈥渋sn鈥檛 good鈥�.
