Many of you may recall back in 2009, Keri Hilson’ single “Turnin’ Me On” caused quite a stir in the music industry when the songwriter turned pop singer included a rap verse in the single’s remix allegedly dissing Beyoncé and Ciara. Hear it for yourself at 1:50.
In an interview with Hip Hollywood earlier this year, Hilson says this whole thing has been “hurtful.”
Here’s what else she had to say:
No, I don’t have a beef with any female artist. I think its just interesting that we live in such a gullible world. Anything that’s written, anything that is posted, and a picture that is interpreted one way, is truth. It’s like bible now. You can Photoshop something, put it out and everyone believes it. I’m human and it is hurtful. It’s not okay to make up something about someone in their personal lives especially. Professionally, fine. Scrutinize me all you want, I know I can’t please everyone. But, personally let’s just leave it alone, it’s going too far.
