It’s been six years since Keri Hilson released her last album and, in the time since then, the songbird has largely shunned the spotlight.
Promises of new music were made, but fans are still waiting.
Now, in an emotional appearance on The Steve Harvey Show, the singer-songwriter sheds light on why.
Hilson sat down with psychic medium Reginald Lewis, who tapped into worries that she later expanded on.
In the candid segment, she says she “hit rock bottom” and revealed that she never intended for her break from music to be more than one year.
Check out the session below…
Deep.
Sure, she never specified whether she was referencing her split from longtime lover Serge Ibaka or the hardships of showbiz, but it’s safe to assume both are factors.
In any case, she’s a quality talent who delivers quality music. So we’re rooting for her comeback. Are you?
6? I’m pretty sure it’s been 8 years since she’s released new music. but I’m definitely looking for comeback. If it ever sees the light of day.
Flop! BeyHive haven’t thrown enough Beyoncé CDs at ha!
Hater! Beyonce is fabulous but to be honest she has nothing to do with Ms. Keri. Keri is her own worst enemy in terms of her career opportunities that she blew.
I would def purchase an album if she released it…her albums were solid and she has a good pen game I’m surprised she don’t write for other artists like she use to do in the past.
she doesn’t work hard..she just thought the football player was going to bankroll her life..
@I hate b. And w bitchexzz I think you are assuming way to much!!!! B|tches like me and Keri been knowing that professional athletes don’t have the “bankroll” without putting in 8 plus years to get those endorsement deals coupled with a guaranteed pension fund really can’t do ish for you but be a lover. I honestly believe Keri went into that relationship looking for love because her dude was not endorsed, etc so please back off your “gold digga” agenda and recognize that in this day and age that there are still people out there that get into relationships because of love and not money. You are repetitive because you keep repeating your assumptions without one ounce of facts. I only speak on facts which is why I stated the reality (ie no endoresements or pension fund to entice Keri on the getgo).
keri shut up, and come slay us we have ALL been waiting 4 u!
Oh Beyonce I hope B6 is more organic queen. Bey sort of wishes she had the deepnes of Lauryn or the mystery of a sade but unfortunately she’s been to rich and out of touch and hasn’t experienced enough pain or trauma or breakups to truly create the masterpiece eligible for her to sit with Michael, Prince or nippy with great exceptions for dangerously & love..& 4 but not quite…b6 should hit the mark I feel confident in her growth n 3 kids. Btw her being with Old man Jay since being yoing has took some dimension from her career…so no more collabs!lol
I know you’re a REAL hater because a fake hater would’ve known Bey6 dropped damn near 2 years ago…
Well you know what I mean …that’s because she realises albums way to close as if she’s scared to disappear making her albums & career more watery…and i will never hate the Queen but will always check her, because Lemonade never got many plays for me and I purchased multiple copies…??
Bwahahaha
Tori lmao ayo……….
Yesssssss
Why can’t you stay on topic?
Just discovered ‘Beautiful Mistake’ from her last album and it’s a gem. Her last era wasn’t as bad as what the hive may try to have you think, PGR was a hit.
That one song probably had a lot to do w/ influencing the black girls rock which mutated into black girls magic. Keri is highly talented, and way more singles should of been released from that last album.
Heart break is tough.
Keri is awsome. She is tall, beautiful, and talented.
Anything for promo huh?
Well, she looks cute lol…she ain’t cracking like when Justinesha takes his breaks!
I didn’t really support her but I purchased her album…
Gold digga. …she got with the athlete and thought she was going to use and live off of his money and not work…..he wanted Keri Hilson not a lazy b****
You can’t gold dig a retired man without a lot of net worth. Her ex was already retired and on a fixed income. She has the potential to earn more. You are assuming he just wanted her but it is possible perhaps he wanted her and plenty of side pieces too. This is a man’s world, even these hos pretend like it is not. Keri’s mistake was putting her relationship in front of her career.
I loved Keri Hilson, she can sing and dance an write her own music, something Beyonce can’t do! Sad thin is, this is proof that you can’t let these Guys be your Downfall of your career. Poor Keri smh
Beyonce won award as a writer at her early age one thing Keri will never .. do your research before hating on the queen then again it’s you haters part time job ..
Keri was Beyonce ghost writer. Do the research !
She looks good. I love her music. But she should apologize to Beyonce
I would enjoy seeing her back. I remember everywhere I went hearing people sing “Pretty Girl Rock”. Even other artists like RichGirl did their own rendition. She’ll be fine if she focuses on the music and doesn’t get distracted with the stupid stuff.
Maybe she will write some tracks for B7. LOL
Beyonce understood everything in the showbiz. She resisted every storm.
you stans make Beyoncé a co-star of every comment. Damn!
