Keri Hilson is now trying to separate herself from the diss track she put out that was allegedly recorded to go after Beyonce and Ciara.
Apparently, on a recent 95.5 interview here in her hometown (and mine) of Atlanta, she said she wants to be distanced from the diss record and that the whole idea was Polow De Pon's. The DJ also stated that Keri Hilson said she would never diss Beyonce (no word on Ciara though).
Sources say Keri's real beef is with singer Usher because he initially wanted to collaborate with Keri for his "Love In The Club" remix, but scrapped her vocals from the track after hearing it. Apparently he didn't like her sound, and instead asked Beyonce to sing the verse which was written by Keri. Keri Hilson still received her check and publishing rights, but it was a blow for Keri because the remix ended up being a hit, and a lost opportunity of stardom.
Just in case you didn't hear the track, here's the lyrics everyone has been talking about for the last day or so:
"I ain’t trying to start no mess but there’s something on my chest/ that I need to get off/ cause you turning me off /your vision cloudy if you think you the best, you can dance/ you can sing / but need to move it to the left/She need to go have some babies/She need to sit down she fake/them other chicks ain’t even worth my time to talk about/Been getting dollars/ go and get your money up/Go head and tell these folks how long I’ve been writing your song/ I been putting you on/ Just check the credits ho/ And if you want me you can find me in Decatur ho.”
While I love anyone who represents Decatur, I can't help but think this was kind of wack. It's wack because it was only a matter of time before Keri would have been forced to retract her statement because we all know Beyonce has a lot of clout in the business.
And apparently Beyonce laughed off the news of Keri's diss track and simply said:
"What she diss me for...Is it because I didn't want her tracks? If anything, she should be my friend."
Ouch. I can't help but think Solange is somewhere sitting around with a jar of vaseline, greased up, with her hair pulled back. You know she doesn't play about her sister. *Giggles*
In related news, Keri Hilson's debut album "In A Perfect World" is set to drop March 24. I guess all it takes is a diss track about Beyonce to get your forever pushed back album a release date that sticks. I ain't even mad at you Keri.

LOL I knew she would be trying to take back those lyrics. Beyonce's people are ruthless. Someone called her ass I'm sure. She may be a hot songwriter, but if she wants more work she might not want to go at Beyonce. I still like Keri though.
March 5, 2009 at 11:57 AMDamn who joes Beyonce have working for her, mobsters? It seems like everyone is scared off her ass.
March 5, 2009 at 2:36 PMKeri is wack for taking back what she said. If that is how she feels she should stand by it like a woman.
March 5, 2009 at 5:56 PMNo we is wack for saying it period. I mean come on she can't sing at all, she dances just like Ciarra, and she's manly in the face. She aint no DIVA! She needs to understand she is only hot to this new generation. Most people 20 and up she gets no love from. Keri Hilson sit down little girl, and respect your elders. BEYONCE BEEN THE #1 DIVA IN THE GAME FOR A MINUTE. Why? Because she didn't come in dissing Mary J, or Mariah, or Whitney she paid her dues, now she gets the throne. Pay your dues Ms. Hilson

April 8, 2009 at 12:09 PMI think Keri Hilson's part was sweet... HOWEVER, Beyonce is my girl and she has been for a while... Keri you aint even got it like that to even imply that you could diss beyonce she is an upcoming legend... i give you about a year and a half to be hot and then you will fade in the back and Beyonce will still be on top with her kids and her husband living the life you wish for... i mean face it she is a BADD bitch... you cant even dance for real so leave Ciara alone too... Beyonce is a Diva... you shouldnt put your foot in your mouth too soon, cause when you aint making no money anymore you might just have to beg Beyonce to sing some of the songs your ass wrote!!! i still like the way you said what you said dont get me wrong... but you cant be dissing my girl BEYONCE!!! she rocks <3
April 11, 2009 at 3:50 PMOkay so u [author] did not tell the whole official story about this. Keri said that she wasn't specifically dedicating that song to anyone she was directing towards everyone who has hated on her as she was trying to make her come up. Supposely the things that she said in her song was things people were saying about her. And she also said that it was for someone who was at her promotion party and was talkin about her to one of her people. This song was actually for nicole [whatever] from the pussy cat dolls. And yes it was the guy idea for this song, but Keri did not shy away from it. Oh, and Keri ain't even been in the game long, but she is an OFFICIAL rising icon for all her haters. She may only be favored by young people but thats what keep you in the game. Young people are the ones buying the cds and watching the music videos. Don't get me wrong Beyonce doing the damn thang!!!! But, Keri and Beyonce have two different styles and that means they will have two different audiences.
