After her contract with Elektra expired at the end of 2004, she moved over to the Cash Money Records label, where she expects to release her third album before the end of 2005. It was one of the most popular songs on 2004. The single was successful on urban radio and a minor hit with pop audiences. Her most popular song out of her entire career is "Milkshake". In 2004, Mo had better luck with "21 Answers", a response to 50 Cent's popular "21 Questions". Her allergic reaction was treated and she was safely released from the hospital. The other duet, "4 Ever", the first official single off of Lil' Mo's own sophomore album, Meet The Girl Next Door, was a minor urban and R&B hit, but did not achieve pop success.

Kelis most recently made news in America not because of a new song but because she was rushed to a hospital in Switzerland, after having had an allergic reaction to nuts that she had consumed in a restaurant there. During the summer of 2003, Mo appeared on two important singles with Fabolous, who partially had Mo to thank for his own break into the industry, and who has since been more successful on both urban and mainstream charts than Mo herself. Their first duet was "Can't Let You Go", the first single off of Fabolous' Street Dreams LP, was one of 2003's biggest rap and mainstream pop hits. It is unknown whether "In Public" will be released to American radio stations sometime in the near future. Mo refused to fire back, calling the whole thing "juvenile". Its music video has just begun receiving airplay there as well, but neither the single nor the video will be released in America. Since, Ja Rule has taken some cheap shots at former friend, Mo, calling her a "bitch", and crediting himself as the reason why Mo had had any hits. At present, Tasty's third single, "Millionaire" (which features Andre 3000), has been released in Europe and is climbing the charts. in 2002.

While "Trick Me" was climbing the charts in Europe but languishing in America, the more raw and urban-sounding "In Public" was being predicted as Kelis' best shot at repeating "Milkshake"'s level of success in America. artist Ashanti for collaborations instead of her, Mo ended all associations with Murder Inc. Prior to the summer, it was rumored that Kelis' next American single would be "In Public", a raunchy and vulgar duet with her fiancé. After a falling out with Ja Rule and Irv Gotti, caused by Mo's accusations that they now favored using new Murder Inc. "Not In Love", Kelis & Enrique Iglesias' duet, off of Iglesias' album, was also released as a single in 2004 and failed to catch on in America, outside of the club charts. Tha album's second single, "Gangsta", contained a sample of Snoop Dogg's "Gin And Juice", but failed to cfind an audience. The album's second single, "Trick Me", once again proved to be a smash at radio and video channels in Europe during mid-2004, though the song did not enjoy success in America, where its music video was not even released. The video was also a huge hit on MTV2 and BET.

Ths single and album were similarly huge in Europe. The "Part II" remix, featuring hip-hop newcomer Fabolous, was an uptempo, hip-hop flavored record, using an instrumental track producer DJ Clue had originally intended for M.O.P. Kelis finally did find mainstream success in America in 2003, with her #1 urban, #3 Hot 100 song, "Milkshake"; this helped to propel her album Tasty to the top of the charts. Later that year, Mo released her debut album, Based On A True Story, on Elektra, and had a successful single of her own, "Superwoman [Part II]", off of that album. Because of Kelis' "featured" status on those tracks, and because of her extremely versatile style, the general public likely never fully realized that several of the biggest hip-hop hits of the past five years have included vocals by Kelis, instead choosing to focus mainly on the rapper who had the lead roles in the hit songs. The single was an enormous hit on both urban and pop radio, and reached #8 on the US pop charts, and more Rule/Mo collaborations followed, including "I Cry", which repurposed The O'Jays' 1978 hit "Cry Together".

Kelis, who had moved to Europe during her successful period there, returned to America where she met and fell in love with rapper Nas; the couple were married on January 8th 2005. She was featured in the music video for the song's remix alongside guest rappers Nas and Eve. The album Wanderland was released two years later, exclusively in Europe and Asia, after its lead single, "Young Fresh 'N New", failed to catch on in America; the video for "Young Fresh 'N New" barely registered on American MTV or VH1, but got pretty heavy play on MTV2. One of those tracks, "Hot Boys", became Mo's breakout appearance. However, the entire album really took off in Europe, where all three singles, "Caught Out There", "Good Stuff", and "Get Along With You", were sizable hits.
