Keri Hilson has recently spoken out about the long-standing controversy that arose for her in 2009 – the speculation surrounding the supposed diss track she made towards Beyoncé. In a recent conversation, the R&B artist voiced her remorse over the remix of her popular song “Turnin’ Me On,” which some listeners interpreted as direct criticisms aimed at Beyoncé.
Keri Hilson regrets singing Beyonce diss track
Keri Hilson has shared on The Breakfast Club podcast that she never felt inclined to record the Beyoncé diss track. She described it as a source of regret, but not in the way people might assume because the song’s controversial lyrics were not her own words.
In 2009, the artist was gearing up to debut her first album and had been signed to Interscope Records. Her management team at that time consisted of producers Polow da Don and Timbaland. During a tour with Lil Wayne, Polow da Don urged her to revisit the studio to record a remix. However, when Hilson showed up, she was taken aback by a verse that had already been written, which she vehemently opposed.
For those who may not be aware, the diss track contained lyrics that were seen by many as criticisms directed towards artists such as Beyoncé, Ciara, and others. Lines like “She can sing, but she needs to move it to the left, left / She needs to go have some babies. She needs to sit down, she’s fake” are considered as potential jabs at these women.
Keri Hilson initially disagreed and made it clear, saying something like “I’m not going there.” However, she faced pressure when this was met with persistence from Polow. He reportedly took a firm approach to get her to record the remix, hinting that if she didn’t, her album wouldn’t be released. In response, Keri stood her ground by writing her own verse for the track.
Initially, Hilson released two versions of the song, one with questionable lyrics. However, it was the original version that leaked soon after its release, causing an instant and severe backlash among fans. They perceived the lyrics as an attack on Beyonce and Ciara, which ignited years of criticism towards Hilson. More recently, songwriter Ester Dean admitted to having co-written the track.
