Keri Hilson is dropping her thoughts on dating athletes and spillin’ some game for the ladies looking to get with one. The R&B singer kept it real about men in the sports world while appearing on Cam Newton’s ‘Funky Friday’ podcast and she didn’t hold back with her words either.
Keri Hilson Shares Her Opinion On Dating Athletes
In Cam Newton’s latest episode, released on Friday, April 18, Keri Hilson shared her opinion on dating athletes. She spoke from experience, telling Newton that athletes can sometimes struggle with maturity, which, in return, leaves women feeling unfulfilled.
“I think that you guys have— relationally, you’re stunted because a lot of people have appeased and placated you, and so you’ve gotten your way with women, with teachers, with— sometimes pastors,” she said.
Hilson went on to explain during the interview how the high-pressure world of sports can prevent their ability to connect with their partners on a deeper level, because people don’t want to stand in their way. Because of that, the ‘Superhuman’ hitmaker stressed that while athletes might bring the charm and the checks, their focus on the game often leaves little room for building a strong relationship.
“Women don’t challenge a certain side of you relationally. In my experience, that was apparent, that just stunted emotionally, like, learning things, we’re talking in 30s, that maybe someone at 21 would’ve known,” she added.
Keri Hilson Gets Real About What She Believes Athletes Lack When It Comes To Relationships
When Newton interjected by asking Keri Hilson to elaborate, she mentioned honesty, expressiveness, and maturity as things that were usually lacking in those relationships. “I’d agree with you,” he responded. “But it wasn’t your focus,” Hilson added, “You were paid to run the ball down the field. Your job had to run precedence over a lot of things. So, it’s not your fault at all, really.”
“I think you said it in a nutshell, you haven’t learned how to love. That’s a talent, a tool that you haven’t needed. I couldn’t pinpoint one thing for you when you asked me what things. It’s really all of it as it pertains to love,” Hilton continued to tell Newton.
Keri Goes Viral For Exchanging Words With Ester Dean On Social Media
Keri had the internet on fire when she appeared on ‘The Breakfast Club’ and spilled all the tea about those lyrics from 2009’s ‘Turnin’ Me On’ remix that had folks swearing she was throwing jabs at Beyoncé. But Hilson dropped a bombshell, saying, “I didn’t write them. I was forced to sing them,” claiming her label made her record the remix despite her protests.
Keri never mentioned anyone by name, but Ester Dean ultimately came forward. Dean went on to admit that she had written parts of the song and issued an apologetic response. But Hilson wasn’t here for the apology after all these years and clapped back, “You chose to stay quiet for 16 years, but coming out now, when you felt a portion of the heat I’ve gotten for something you wrote? Nah.”
