Keri Hilson Applauded For Her Dating Advice But Not Everyone Is Buying It

Keri Hilson let people know what she’s looking for in a man these days and it has nothing to do with materialism or his physical appearance.

“Yeah you fine, but how your spirit lookin?” she tweeted. “What them morals do? You can keep what’s between your legs for now. I’m more interested in what’s sittin’ between them ears.”

Keri Hilson Gets Praised For Her Dating Advice

The singer’s tweet got immediate responses and people who thanked her for giving such straightforward advice. Others told her the message was so important that she needs to put it in a song.

“Yes ma’am,” one person wrote. “You’ve got that right.”

“Tell ’em sis” and “Well said,” wrote others.

In fact, the message was re-tweeted over 2,000 times within a very short period. It was also liked nearly 5,000 times.

There were some people, however, who didn’t seem to care for Hilson’s words, and one person brought up her past relationship to NBA player Serge Ibaka. Another said she was merely sharing the message to get attention on social media.

“Really? So you were with Serge Ibaka for his brilliance?” someone asked.

“She’s just trying to get them likes,” another person tweeted.

Meanwhile, Hilson just announced that she’ll be heading to Nigeria to perform at the grand opening of a nightclub in the capital city of Abuja.

“Nigeria. I’m coming to Abuja, performing at the grand opening of PlayHilton this weekend,” she tweeted earlier this week.

She’ll also visited the Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Program, that gives seed money to those who want to develop businesses and money-making opportunities throughout Africa.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
