Bill Murray Sets Record Straight on Kelis Dating Rumors

Bill Murray is busting the rumor that he dated Kelis.

Almost two years after rumors surfaced that he was dating the “Milkshake” singer, Bill denied that they were ever romantically involved, sharing what really happened between them.

“I met this girl named Kelis,” Bill said on SiriusXM’s Sway in the Morning on Feb. 28. “I got great press that I was dating her, which really raised my cred. Well, it was false humility again.” 

According to the Riff Raff actor, they first crossed paths years ago after he saw Kelis, 45, in the music video for Ol’ Dirty Bastard‘s 1999 song Got Your Money.

“I love that video,” Bill, 74, noted. “I watched that and I kept going, ‘That’s the silliest thing. How did I miss that when it came out in the first place?’ It’s so crazy, and I’m going ‘Who is the girl with the red hair?’ And it was Kelis, and I just had to meet her sometime. And she turned out to be spectacular.”
