Millionaire (Kelis song)


"Millionaire" is a song by American singer Kelis, featuring American rapper André 3000, taken from the former's third studio album, Tasty. It was released as the album's third single on October 18, 2004. The song was written by Kelis and André 3000, and produced by the latter. Like Kelis' previous single "Trick Me", "Millionaire" was not released in the United States. The track contains a sample of the 1985 song "La Di Da Di" by Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick.
The song peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart, earning Kelis her third consecutive top-five single, while becoming a modest success on the charts internationally. The accompanying music video, directed by Giuseppe Capotondi, does not feature Kelis or André 3000, and instead features children playing the roles of young Kelis and André.
