Back in the late 2000’s, southern belle Keri Hilson emerged as an incredible solo act after stepping out of her comfort zone as a songwriter. After the release of her sophomore album, No Boys Allowed, the R&B singer backed out of the limelight. Aside from a publicly private relationship with NBA baller Serge Ibaka, Hilson switched her focus on acting, making appearances in Almost Christmas and Think Like A Man. Earlier this year, the “Knock You Down” soulstress admitted that she “hit rock bottom a few times [and] had to give up music for a while,” despite announcing a new album last year on The Real. However, some haters took a moment to shame her former musical success.

In a motivational tweet, Ms. Keri Baby penned “I’ve learned that God responds to my action over my waiting…. There is no fear. Whatever direction I take, He will either protect me w/ divine correction or provide the tools to finish…” Heading to Instagram, she continued, “moral of the story? Just move… And sometimes the “tools” are people.”
