Why did she get blackballed?
Turnin Me on Remix:
Your vision cloudy if you think that you da best/You can dance/she can sing/but need to move it to the left… She need to go have some babies/she need to sit down she fake/them other chicks ain’t even worth talkin’ bout”

The Dream basically corroborating that yes dissing Beyonce can in fact get you blackballed.

Figured it was Beyonce related, just needed confirmation

She single handedly made it to where she's the only black American woman in R&B

When her career is over, we'll be left with just a bunch of cac broads that she wouldn't dare try to blackball

fukk that bytch.

Ikr? I really liked her first album & her second one wasn't bad although she overdid it with the 'im a sexy vixen bytch' video.

Keri Hilson did not get blackballed. Beyoncé never blackballed Keri. In fact, artists close to Beyoncé and even Beyoncé worked with Keri even after Keri allegedly dissed Beyoncé. Why would Kanye work with Keri Hilson all while claiming Beyoncé was his "big sister"? He appears on the album Keri was promoting when she allegedly dissed Beyoncé. He featured Keri on a Good Friday track and hopped on a remix to the single from Keri's next album. On top of that, Ne-Yo who worked close with Beyoncé appeared on those same songs and wrote for Keri. To top it all off, there's a demo of a song called "Rumors" featuring Jay Z.

Keri Hilson is just one of those artists who just didn't click with huge audiences like that. It happens. It doesn't mean an artist is black balled. It just means that their music just isn't connecting enough to where people come out in droves to support it.

Another issue with Keri is that none of her solo material was as catchy as this song which pretty much launched her:

She only got blackballed by the people that buy music. Sometimes artists get pushed like hell and the public is just :yeshrug:

Lol at getting blackballed like it's the 1950s with only like 7 tv stations...

It's 2016 if you got fans and quality product you can still get exposure.

Without the right team it's hard to be a mainstream female singing star for long periods of time.
