She first rose to fame with her debut studio album
Kaleidoscope which dropped in 1999. Heavily influenced by 1970s jazz and disco, it was a huge success partially thanks to production duo
The Neptunes producing it entirely.
It was followed up by
Wanderland, but Kelis would see another bump in stardom with her third studio album 2003’s

Since then, she’s taken a bit of a step back from the music industry and focused much of her attention on farming. Yes,
farming.
In Temecula, Southeast of Los Angeles, Kelis owns a farm with countless fruits, vegetables, sheep, goats, and vineyards. But not only does she harvest the food from her own farm, she knows how to throw down in the kitchen as a result of attending Le Cordon Belu in 2008 according to
Harper’s Bazaar.
But Kelis doesn’t let the farm life stop her from getting fits off or posting the occasional thirst trap on Instagram. And she may even have a new fan in
Bill Murray since the two have sparked dating rumors… but we digress.
Check out some of her hottest Instagram moments below.
