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

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.”

One thing’s for sure – this story isn’t going quietly.
