Keri Hilson has finally opened up about the supposed Beyonce beef and insists that there really isn’t one while the R&B queen herself is busy working on her set for the Super Bowl performance which may have been leaked as a lip-syncing diversion.
There is a lot going on in the world of Beyonce from Kimora Lee Simmons dissing her fashion venture to idiots urging President Obama to resign over her lip syncing performance at the inauguration.
The good news is, she has finally gotten one person off her back – Keri Hilson.
For years rumors that the two R&B beauties were beefing were flying, but neither of the songstresses really spoke on the matter.
It all started back in 2008 when fans speculated that Mrs. Hilson took a jab at Beyonce in her song “Turnin’ Me On” (Weird track for a diss verse right?). Anyway, all the lyrics throughout the song focus on what turns Hilson on and how wanna-be ballers turn her off except for one verse that goes a little off topic.
“She can sing, but need to move it to the left, she need to go have some babies, she needs to sit down, she fadin…” the Georgia native sings. “Go ‘head and tell them folks how long I been writing your songs, I been putting you on, just check the credits.”
No matter what Keri says she was definitely taking aim at somebody, regardless of if it was Beyonce or not.
Despite the obvious diss slid into a track that really didn’t call for the lyrics in the first place the 30-year-old insisted that there is no beef between her and Beyonce or anyone else for that matter.
“No, I don’t have a beef with any female artist,” Keri said. “I think it’s 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.”
Yes it is true that people have a tendency to believe everything they read or see too quickly, but questioning a photo or a written article isn’t the same as questioning the words that fans heard come directly out of the singer’s mouth.
Either way, she just wants all the rumors and gossip to stop when it comes to her personal life – a plea that more and more celebs including Khloe Kardashian, Halle Berry, and even Beyonce have made lately.
“I’m human and it is hurtful,” she said. “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 all going too far.”
Honestly, we agree… to a point. While celebs have their right to privacy anything they put out not just through music but through photos, tweets, and personal blogs is free for the public to criticize as much as they want. That’s just the nature of the business.
However, celebs can always try diversion tactics which some people think Bey’s camp is trying to do after the lip syncing inaugural performance fiasco.
While we are still standing on the line of “There are much bigger problems in the world than someone lip syncing at an inauguration that wasn’t even the official swearing in of the President,” others are up in arms about the lip syncing accusations and claim that the President needs to resign over the matter (because it’s that serious and it’s all his fault).
Either way, in the midst of all the rumors and criticisms, Beyonce’s set for her big half-time performance at the 2013 Super Bowl has leaked and although it didn’t make anyone forget what happened at the inauguration, it did give people something else to talk about (for like 30 seconds).
A source leaked the schedule set and finally answered the question everyone has been asking for months now: Will Destiny’s Child reunite on the Super Bowl stage? The answer is YES!
While Mrs. Carter will kick things off of on her own, performing some of her older hits like “Crazy in Love” the ladies of Destiny’s Child, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, will indeed join her on stage.
The threesome will perform some of their classic hits as well including “Bills, Bills, Bills” and “Survivor” before finally giving a live performance of their new song “Nuclear.”
The most important part of the set will obviously be when Blue Ivy’s mommy is on stage solo because the nation is waiting for the “Countdown” songstress to redeem herself (because once again, it’s just that serious).
Following her usual routine ever since she joined Instagram, Baddie Bey is sharing pics of her preparing for her live performance and making sure that no shots of her recording anything in a studio make it unto the site this time. Instead the photos show her stretching in a Brooklyn Nets t-shirt and also give away another not-so surprise.
In addition to having Kelly and Michelle on stage, Bey will also have…. DANCERS! Duh…
The black and white photo of a group of dancers rehearsing confirmed that the R&B queen would be showing her moves on stage with a talented to group to back her up.
