Keri Hilson Claps Back After Ester Dean’s Apology for Controversial ‘Turnin’ Me On’ Remix: “You Chose To Stay Quiet For 16 Years”

Published: Thursday 10th Apr 2025 by Nadia Mumuni

Keri Hilson addresses Ester Dean’s apology for ‘Turnin Me On (Remix)’ Keri Hilson is speaking out – loud and clear – after Ester Dean‘s long-awaited apology for the ‘Turnin’ Me On (Remix)’ controversy.

Full details below…

After Hilson reflected on the track during a Breakfast Club interview, which was widely believed to take shots at Beyonce, Dean confirmed that she “co-wrote” the song.

Owning up to it, Dean issued an apology stating:

“I’ve worked with and supported many women since, but that doesn’t erase the moment. Growth is real, and so is this apology.”

But ‘Bae’ singer Hilson, whose new album ‘We Need To Talk,’ drops on April 18, isn’t co-signing the apology tour.

She clapped back online directly to Dean, saying:

“You used the word co-wrote. I RE-wrote 3 lines in your verse. Which was the ONLY battle I won in the whole matter. But you weren’t there when all this was going down, and we didn’t write it together. These lines are mine: ‘Been getting dollars boy/Gone get ya money up/ No you ain’t the only homie on me, line up.’ The softest section. Lines about a boy. Because not only did I strongly disagree with the unnecessary hateful sentiments towards other women, and I’ve never been a fan of the publicity stunt method,” she wrote in part. “You chose to stay quiet for 16 years, but coming out now, when you felt a portion of the heat I’ve gotten all this time.”

Keri Hilson x Ester Dean Drama

    Good Keri read the bch. they ruined 16 years of your life don’t take the boot off their necks. 👢

    Now at this moment, I agree with Keri. Why they wait 16 years later tho?
    Yall should ask Polow why he even thought this would be a great idea. Ask him!
    I hope these woman dont fight over this, when the person who orchestrated the idea didnt speak yet.

    Nothing promotes an album like a good Beyoncé story…even if it’s an old one. Otherwise I’m not sure if I would have realized Hilson had an album coming out.

    • yup! April 11, 2025

      But you don’t matter. Many people are anticipating her return to music. It was going to be a story regardless. Thiefyonce is old news now. And all her kids look like Jay. EXACTLY like him.

    Keri, this is getting old… using old drama to get exposure and push your upcoming flop album… Bae aint charting yet and will never….

    • yup! April 11, 2025

      Age doesnt matter when you are black and look as good as she does. Charts don’t matter either when you already have millions. You’re broke minded and can’t break free ugly. Go smack your mother in the mouth for disjappointmenting you.

    I am on keris side but don’t fault Ms. Dean. She was PAiD to do a job by ur bosses and she did.
    The real villains are Polow and Timbaland and Beyonce
    The men were wrong as they knew the outcome.
    Beyonce should’ve only responded with bow down, no need to blackball a h o e
