It’s been over 10 years since Keri Hilson first nabbed headlines for perceived Beyoncé disses (i.e. on red carpet interviews, the remix of her 2009 hit, ‘Turnin Me On,’ etc.), but now the GRAMMY nominee says the beef is old news and the two have moved on.
Hot on the promo trail for her recently unveiled, critically acclaimed made-for-TV film, ‘Lust’ (click here to see the trailer), the 38-year-old was quizzed about the current status of her relationship with the Queen Bey.
To the surprise of listeners, Hilson glowed when discussing the diva – and even suggested she’d be open to sharing the stage with her one day.
‘Love in the Club’ is exactly what Usher was accused of NOT showing at a Las Vegas gentleman’s venue recently, a feat that caused one of the resident exotic dancers to take to social media to put him on blast.
Suggesting the GRAMMY winner paid performers with counterfeit money that featured his face printed on it, reports of her insinuation took the singer’s name to viral status Monday (April 12) as memes and jokes soared in response to the news.
“Ladies, what would you do if you danced all night for Usher and he threw this?,” she asked in a now-viral social media message referring to the #Ushbucks.
Now, after the club owner has stepped out in defense of the star, the dancer who caused all the commotion is suggesting the explosive response to the joke is “not her fault.”
The stage blazer makes for an arresting sight in brand new promotional pictures.
Arriving amid ample buzz for her debut album, the snaps have sent fans into a frenzy.
Could it finally be time for her return?

As the world collectively mourns the loss of a Hip-Hop titan DMX, From The Vault is back this week with his beloved collaboration with R&B princess Aaliyah.
Today’s pick is ‘Come Back in One Piece.’
Produced by Irv Gotti and based on a Parliament sample of ‘Sir Nose D’Voidoffunk,’ the song sees the singer urging her boyfriend to be careful while he’s running the streets — though he does little to reassure her.
The track was released as the third single from the soundtrack to the movie ‘Romeo Must Die’ – which both artists starred in.
The song charted at #36 of the Billboard Hip-Hop/R&B charts and has been praised for being a successful common ground for two artists with seemingly opposite styles.
Its video was directed by Little X and was shot in DMX’s hometown of Yonkers and Mount Vernon in New York.
The duo served “hood love” and played up the track’s lyrics hanging out in gloomy hallways, walking big dogs, and engaging in street antics.
For many, this is a timeless audio-visual piece that captures the otherworldly energy and aura of two of the most inspiring artists of modern times.
This week, we lost a tremendous talent, one whose legendary status is unquestionable. Indeed, DMX has been a pillar of the culture for decades and will most definitely continue to be.
We find solace in knowing his passing will encourage the younger generation – who might not be familiar with his back catalog – to dig in the vault and let X give it to ‘em.
Legends never die, they continue to live on and inspire.
For her new album, ‘Dancing with the Devil…The Art of Starting Over,’ is proving to be more than a rebirth in title alone – it’s proving a commercial win for the singer too.

As widely reported, the MC had suffered a heart attack (allegedly as the result of an overdose) and lay in a coma for almost a week. He sadly did not make it.
Joining the masses in honoring the man she was married to from 1999 to 2014, Tashera shared a bittersweet message.
