Ciara and Keri Hilson Involved in Spat?

Ciara and Keri Hilson

Fans of both Ciara and Keri Hilson are all too familiar with the artists’ feud, which seemingly began through songs that featured the singers taking lyrical jabs at one another. But the R&B powerhouses reportedly stepped out from behind the mics recently and experienced a heated exchange. During Power 105.1′s “Power Live” concert in New York this past weekend, Ciara and Keri may have come face-to-face, causing verbal blows to follow.

The Atlanta songstresses were both scheduled to perform at the concert, which featured such acts as J. Cole, Diddy-Dirty Money, Fat Joe, and Rick Ross. According to the New York Daily News’ Gatecrasher gossip column, Hilson backed out of her time slot after she and the “Ride” singer were involved in a minor tiff backstage.

Sources for the newspaper then changed their stories when both artists’ publicists stepped in to do damage control. Reps for Hilson claim the ATL native wasn’t even present at the concert. Unfortunately, it seems one of the camps is withholding information. A set list sent to the publication by the publicity firm handling the “Power Live” event had Keri Hilson scheduled to perform from 8:55 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. and Ciara to go onstage from 10:05 p.m. to 10:35 p.m.

Keri has denied beef with Ciara in a previous radio interview. When asked by Rap-Up TV in May whether her song “Basic Instinct (U Got Me)” was taking shots at her peer, Ciara simply responded, “That record right there is a song that I dedicated to my haters, and I also dedicate it to my fans though.”

UPDATE: Organizers for “Power Live” have released a statement addressing Keri Hilson’s absence from the show.

Keri Hilson had been booked to perform at the Power Live Show On NYC’s Governor’s Island Sunday, August 22nd but was unable to perform due to matters out of her own control. Hilson, a professional who has always been a pleasure to work with, and her management, gave Power Live fair warning that she would be unable to perform. Power Live looks forward to having Keri Hilson on our bill at future events. Any statements or stories made toward issues backstage with any of our performers are false and without merit.

    lol they know they’re both doing it for publicity.None of them want this drama to end that’s why none of them will speak out against this mess. I personally can’t wait for the next installment of this ciara vs keri episode. I’d love to see what a fight would be like between them….with bikinis and oil that is. LMFAO!! Now that would sell a lot of records for both of them. PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

  31. EveryYearIsCiaras

    Haha,
    Ciara doesn’t do anything like that. She is sweet and is even nice to haters on her U-stream. Keri was the one who came out attacking her and Beyonce when she came out. And she was talking about Rihanna with the Chris Brown situation. She need to sit down. Obviously she started it. And now we knew who Power 105 chose to stay.

    Andplus “Ride” is top three on R&B. And “Speechless” is amazing and it has that appeal to go to number one on R&B. “Gimmie Dat” will def reach top ten on Hot 100.

    “Breaking Point” will flop.
    Enough saud.

  61. Taylor Payne

    All of this is fine and dandy but can u Keri fans please stop acting like Keri Hilson is relevant! I mean yes, “Knock You Down” her only song, is a nice record, but please dont compare with Ciara. Thats like comparing Usher and Lloyd. You hear of Keri but she’s not important or consistent. She doesnt even have a number 1 record. To even categorize Ciara with Keri disgusts me. We all know Ciara will always be the Princess of ATL, more successful,relevant, prettier, better entertainer, dancer, singer, etc. Keri unfortunatley will keep trying but Ciara aswell will keep black bagging that bitch :) #TEAMCIARA

    I BELIEVE THIS IS A LIE, and if it was true that was no reason for keri not to show?? if a petty exchange of words is enough to keep her from performing then she should just stick to wrighting music and not performing and releasing her own music. i hope this isent the reason because it makes keri look very very bad since things started with her TMO remix. but anyways ciara love you girl =D #teamciara

And Ciara hasn’t had a big hit since the evolution album. And Ciara can dance her ass off, but she can’t sing. IDK abt Keri’s natural singing talent.
