Word to OutKast + Goodie Mob, if you scared say you scared. I personally can respect someone who admits their own bitchassness. It shows true character and strength.

Keri Hilson called up to ATL’s V103 while Ciara and Polow Da Meerkat were in the studio to clear up the rumors around the remix of her song “Turnin’ Me On” but succeeded in turning everybody the hell off with all the backpeddling she did. Whatcha heart beating all fast for, Keri?!

Wendyista summed things up quite nicely:

Keri: “I just want to tell Ciara it’s not about you. People are just reading way too far into it. People take things and make it what they want it to be. It wasn’t taking shots at nobody.”

Ciara: “Cool…I guess everybody is here to listen to what Keri said and I take it for that. From my end, it’s always been nothing but love for you. I was very happy for you to get where you are.”

Keri: “I know that’s sincere. It is the same coming from me when I tell you that I’m proud of you. I’ve always meant that and I always do mean that. I’ve watched it from ground zero with you….I’m not jealous of anybody’s career. We are all like the same thing. Keyshia’s on my album. I’ve worked with Ciara many times. I’m a fan of Beyoncé’s.”

So, who is “Turning Me On’” about then?

Keri: “It’s anybody that ever tried to take me down and didn’t want to see me succeed. I’m not gonna call their names because I feel I’ve addressed it.”
