Keri Hilson heard the hate, and decided to go on record to address the message behind her controversial video “The Way You Love Me” once and for all. In an interview with Perez Hilton, the singer was unapologetic, and even boldly proclaimed “sometimes I want to be f—-d.”
Now that’s what I’m talking about. Here are some of the other highlights from the interview
Did you set out to do that song with the purpose of wanting to be controversial?
Absolutely not. Everything that I wrote about is from that perspective … how [women] really think and feel about certain things … and really knowing that we deserve more. I write from a perspective of just not talking bulls–t. [Like] “Pretty Girl Rock”… no matter what anybody says, you’re beautiful.
Would you change anything about the video?
Absolutely not. The dirty version was recorded … I didn’t expect to put the dirty version [on the video]. If you look closely I’m singing the cleaner version, which is actually on my album. “The Way You Love Me” I say “thug me”… it has the same sentiment … I’m not cleaning that up. Being thugged and being f—-d are very much the same thing. I know kids might pick up the album and I didn’t want that to come out. However, I wouldn’t take it back.
Why was the dirty version of the video released if that’s not on the album?
Actually, I had nothing to do with the dirty version being synced to the video because like I said, if you look closely, I’m singing “thug” and I’m singing “loving” instead of “p—y.” Like I said the sentiment is the same. I’m OK with it because I sang it and that’s the sentiment and this is meant for adults. If I were to do a video for kids, we would put back the clean version, but like I said this song is not meant for children.
