Keri Hilson No Likey Beyoncé? Singer Politely Disses Her at Soul Train Awards

November 23rd, 2011 - By madamenoire

"Keri Hilson"

I understand that competition in the R&B game is pretty fierce, but there’s just something weird about throwing such obvious shade at another chick in the game–and Keri Hilson did that while on the red carpet at the Soul Train Awards recently.

In the past, Miss Keri Baby has been known to let other singers in the game know (indirectly) that they aren’t real competition. Back in ’09 on the remix to her hit single “Turnin’ Me On,” everyone was saying Hilson allegedly threw subliminal jabs at both Beyoncé and Ciara. Lyrics included the following:

“Your vision cloudy if you think that you da best/You can dance/she 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 talkin’ bout”

AND the icing on the cake, some say was for Ci-Ci, who Hilson has penned songs for in the past, came out like this: “Go head tell these folks how long I been writing your songs/I been putting you on/check the credits hoe!…If you want me you can find me in Decatur hoe.”

After people took sides and people kept asking the ladies if they had beef, Hilson and Ciara did manage to put on a united front, appearing together on Ustream together to talk about how everything was all good. And while it may be all good between them, Hilson still seems to have some issues with “King B.” While on the red carpet at the Soul Train Awards, she was asked by Juicy magazine to hold one of their issues and do a “drop” for the publication (“This is ____ with Juicy magazine!). But when she saw Beyoncé and Jay-Z on the cover, she had a major change of heart. Not only did she ask “Who is that?” but when she found out who it was, she replied, “No, I’m sorry, I can’t do that.” After that exchange, she seemed pretty pissed off at the interviewer and cut her the death face.

I’m not sure what the problem is or where the drama lies, but Hilson’s behavior wasn’t very cute, and she’s too cute for that! Especially since it wasn’t about liking or promoting Beyoncé, but about helping out the magazine. But what do you think? Was she dissing her or is this whole thing being blown out of proportion? Let us know!

Check out the video of the exchange with Juicy magazine below:

    Well the Juicy zine got good/more publicity anyway, just from her diss alone. The only one who kinda lost out was Keri…but I’m sure she can redeem herself in more ways than one. *wink*

  • Suchaflyldy

    I wonder what’s Kerri is really so pist about? Is it that serious or is there some the public doesnt’t know? She can’t really be that jealous.

    Oh Beyonce-Keri-Ciara, whatever!!! You know what, I personally like all of those ladies and just as all of you have given YOUR opinion everyone else is entitled to theirs, as stated before. What makes YOU, Beyonce, Keri, or any other person more (or less for that matter), of a person for keeping WHATEVER your opinion is 100?!!? Are you serious??? One person is a hypocrite, hater or stupid, this person doesn’t have their facts straight, the other one is reppin’ Keri or Beyonce or neither, wtf?!?!?!. 

    Really, this is never gonna end on an opinion but you can conclude this on facts……Keri only said, “I can’t do this”. She NEVER said what it was that made her decline to promote it in which to me it seemed like it could’ve been the mag itself or maybe it was an article on the cover or something, nobody really got an answer on what it was that she turned down. If there is beef, maybe the ladies are trying to be ladies and keep it suppressed, (um like ladies) and still do their thang, you know?? Bottom line is, get YOUR facts straight first before you attack someone else because you don’t make yourself look any more graceful either. If someone wants to be ungraceful or catty, let them, they are entitled to that, IF that’s what it was about. Support your artist if you will but….#shutupandpromotepeace

    Are they label mates? What does her contract say? And what are the penalites for promoting artists outside her label? It goes a little deeper than Keri and Beyonce, this is a business and generally associates of one entity don’t publicly promote associates of another. That’s like one of those Statefarm agents holding up a picture of the Allstate guy. Or the make up lady at Nordtroms telling you to go see the makeup lady at Macy’s in front of her boss.

    She sounds jealous to me.  Beyounce ain’t thinking about her.  She is having new baby with her husband.  She has out sold her and is more popular.  So if you wrote some of her songs you got paid for them so don’t hate now because she is more popular.  She seems to have a big head and attitude problem.

    Keri and Beyonce are both beautiful women. Keri did the right thing, that being,  she did what she felt. I love Beyonces music just like the next, she rarely does unscripted video or pictures “real-ity” so whos to say what type of person the Beloved B is or if  she wouldnt have said the same thing if asked to hold up a magazine that featured Keri.  Once again I love B for her work, you cant deny her work ethic and talent, but I hold nothing against other stars like Keri, Britney, Rihanna, even Linsey who make mad mistakes because that lets you know they’re REAL.

  • Bwahahaha

    Would it really have killed her to hold the silly magazine up for a couple seconds? lol She gave it/them more power by NOT doing it than if she’d just done like the others and held it up and threw the deuces.

    • reese

      I agree because they made an article over this and if she would of held it up nobody would of even known about it.

  • guest

    Well supposedly her and B been had issues…we don’t know what went on but if I wasn’t cool with a person I wouldn’t promote anything that they were associated with either…most people who think she shouldn’t have done that are fake or B cl*t riders…she doesn’t have to be a certain way because yall expect her to…fans try to mold music artists into robots and expect everybody to be friendly…that’s not how life goes…smh

  • Rebel2society

    @cosmiclifeline you’re joking right? Didn’t jayz just try to sell some T-shirts at occupy wall street & got busted when ppl found out he was making a profit for himself?! Did he not make a song called n**gas in Paris?! Beyonce can’t even let kelly have the spotlight. & of someone doesn’t want to do something guess what they don’t have to. Beyonce isn’t laying keri’s bills. Quit acting like beyonces professional a** wiper.

    • Cosmiclifeline

      Look, I don’t have time to follow every single thing that each celebrity is doing. I just so happen to saw this clip and wanted to respond. I’m entitled to my opinion just like you. I’m done with this post, and enjoy your holiday weekend.

  • ronke

    If she made her music is beyonce really competition

  • Cosmiclifeline

    She just showed us that no matter how we as Blacks can reach success, someone will always be upset or negative about it. So what if Bey and Jay are over rated. At least they are doing something and not making the Black community look like a fool. She need’s to get over it and make some better music or just stick to writing. Or she’ll be another artist that will come up on a whatever happen to this singer 10 years from now.

  • Kenya

    Keri doesn’t have to hold the magazine if she doesnt want to… Everybody thinks that beyonce is God… Please…

  • Misstosha75

    Seems like she is jealous,she will never be a Beyonce im sorry Keri baby!!!!

  • Mollyteena

    I saw no disrespect! A person has the right to refuse to do something! Knowing what I do about Beyonce,I would refuse to do it also! Yall making it sound like she was jumping up and down and getting all loud about it!She politely declined in a soft spoken voice.Beyonce can do her own PR work!

  • Live_in_LDN

    Do you guys honestly think Beyonce would hold up a picture of another female celebrity and give them promotion in that way?

    Beyonce doesn’t even promote her ex Destiny Child bandmates so why should everyone else in the entertainment business cater to her?

  • http://twitter.com/NoDramaCiCi NoDramaCiCi

    Thats funny, Keri will be around for maybe another year or two while Beyonce would have to become a Terrorist before people stop loving her/buying her albums/going to her concerts. This is a pointless beef Keri.

  • Tijahb27

    Atleast keri is not out here taking credit for songs and dance moves other ppl have already done 1 thing she does have is originality beyonce could never say that…

    • Candice
