Keri Hilson doesn’t feel there’s such thing as two people being “made for each other” in a relationship.
Taking to Twitter/X to expound on her thoughts on Wednesday (December 13), the “Pretty Girl Rock” singer called the idea a myth that she actually believes is quite damaging.

“I don’t think I believe that any relationship exists where two people are just naturally made perfect for each other,” she began. “I feel like that’s a damaging myth. We’re talking about two people with completely different family structures, backgrounds/foundations, experiences, different traumas/triggers, beliefs, etc.”
She continued: “I believe a healthy relationship takes work, compromise, sacrifice, self-awareness, understanding, patience, and even adjustments on BOTH ends. What are your thoughts?”
Later, Keri was accused of only talking about relationships on her platforms, and she had quite the response:
“Let’s nip this in the bud: I study love for a living,” she replied. “I exploit endless pov’s to write/sing songs about love: relationship, single-hood, heartbreak, new love, good love, bad love, even marriage if I’m writing for someone or for a project where that’s the case. I engage in deep thought, conversation, observation or any combination of the three as an occupational hazard, regarding—LOVE.”

She continued: “It is as much a fascination as it is my occupation & my GIFT. So when I’M tweeting, I could simply be musing about love from personal experience, that of others, or it is often nothing more than a spark of thought from studio conversation, an assumed or deeply pondered and random pov.
“Thank you for coming to my TED TALK. I’m not sure who you thought I was or what you thought I do. Hope this helps you follow my drift.”
On the music side of things, Keri Hilson recently explained the long delay in a new body of work since 2010’s No Boys Allowed and revealed she’s finally ready to drop some new tunes.
“It took a second; a lot of things happened that prevented it,” she said on an October episode of Tank and J. Valentine’s R&B Money podcast. “I blame it on one thing, but really it was years of a struggle. I fought through that, but I’m free, and I’m ready.”
She continued: “We’re starting to take meetings to figure out how we want to do this thing [and] where we want to do this thing.”
At the top of the year, Keri had said she planned to drop a new album for 2023, but evidently fans will have to wait until 2024 at this point.
