Kelis has spoken out for the very first time over rumours of a budding romance with Bill Murray.
The 'Milkshake' hit-maker took to social media to address the speculations that she and the Hollywood star are romantically involved.
The 43-year-old took to Instagram on Friday (9 June) and directly responded to one fan's inquiry about the alleged new coupling.
Kelis shared a series of snaps to her 1.1 million followers on Instagram of her enjoying some summer rays on a beach.

She captioned the post: "I’m a beach bum."
And it didn't take long for her fans to flood the comment section with a whole avalanche of questions surrounding the recent dating rumours between herself and the 72-year-old actor.
One Instagram user commented: "Ma’am would you care to address these Bill Murray allegations?!? Cuz damn! What he doing with all that?!?"
Just a few hours after that comment was posted, Kelis broke her silence on the matter and replied: "Lol no babe, I wouldn’t bother at all."

Earlier this week, The US Sun claimed that Kelis was 'dating' the Ghostbusters star after a 'whirlwind romance' just a little over a year after she tragically lost her husband, Mike Mora, 37, to stomach cancer.
However, such reports have not been confirmed by either party.
LADbible has reached out to Kelis' reps for further comment.
Kelis has been very candid about her grief after losing her husband.
Back in March, she shared a heartfelt post to Instagram marking 'exactly a year' since his passing.

Kelis wrote: "I'm a very private person generally, especially when there is family involved. But there is no denying the impact and evolution my husband's passing has had on my life."
"I get asked all the time how I started this journey. It's a much longer conversation but in short what we were dealing with here pushed me so deep into understanding our bodies and how our minds and emotions are so interlocked you can not treat one without the other."
She continued: "Our thoughts and intentions are as powerful and key as our skin health and fitness. I want to live well and this is me sharing what I know to be true."
She and Mora shared daughter Galilee, 2, and son Shepherd, 7, while Kelis is also mom to son Knight, 13, with ex-husband Nas.

Meanwhile, Murray is a father of six.
He shares two sons Homer, 41, and Luke, 38, with his first wife Margaret Kelly and four sons Caleb, 30, Jackson, 27, Cooper, 26, and Lincoln, 22, with Jennifer Butler who died in 2021, 13 years after their divorce.
