Remember when Bill Murray and Kelis were allegedly an item?
Well, the legendary actor and comedian cleared those rumors up during a recent visit to SiriusXM’s Sway in the Morning to promote his new movie Riff Raff.
When the subject turned to Murray’s relationship to hip-hop, the actor brought up Kelis and how much he loved her song “Got Your Money” with the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard. “I got great press that I was dating her, which really raised my cred a lot,” he joked. “That particular song, Ol’ Dirty Bastard — that song just kills me — I love that video. I watched, I kept going, ‘That’s the silliest thing. How did I miss that when it came out in the first place?’”
He added: “It’s so crazy, and I’m going, ‘Who is the girl with the red hair?’ And it was Kelis, so I decided to meet her some time. So, she turned out to be spectacular.”

Bill then revealed that they remain friends and even spoke recently. “She bought land in Kenya,” he said. “She is not afraid of the dark. She just goes out there and says, ‘Well, I think I’ll just go to Africa and start a farm.’”
When Sway wanted to confirm that they didn’t date, Murray again denied the rumors, but joked that maybe she needed some help on her farm. “But, hey, you know one of us could be on the rebound any second. She might need a plow man down there.”
Kelis and Murray were rumored to be dating during the summer of 2023 when the comedian was spotted watching her set at the Mighty Hoopla festival in London.
