Bossip recently caught up with Keri Hilson at the Lexus Listening Lounge in Atlanta. We asked her if she’s currently dating anyone in the industry and peep what she had to say:

I know too much. I’ve been at it too long. It’s not for me. I’ve always said that I don’t want an entertainer or athlete. I tell my friends I’d rather have a upward mobile, forward marching, good Christian man, over a rich guy who will treat me like however. That’s the advice that I give my girlfriends and that’s the advice that I live by. Whoever you see me out with, you probably won’t know him. And, if you see me with someone you know, then I’m probably not with him like that.

Now, Keri, you know the moment we spot you on the arm of some big name we’re gonna refer to this post and embarass that beatles-inspired wig right off of your head.

Listen to the full interview below.

    @ kahmmillion

    so true!….

  • Memo

  • Mr. FAMU

    Smart girl.. Its a ton of eligible bachelors out there in the investment banker, hedge fund, doctor, lawyer crowd!

  • PURPPLE

  • A-Rab Baby

  • Maybeline

    Keri is so corny. A Christina woman? Can you say hyprocrisy?

  • pm

    maybe another celeb could help jump start her lackluster singing career.

  • NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    Wait til she starts making stacks….

    She is already chipped….you make more as a writer than you do as a performer…

  • Oshie – how u do dat? I call it dope girl magic

    But will she ever change her stupid hairdo? That’s what I’m screaming.

  • shavondenise

    Thats like someone saying I will ONLY date atheletes and entertainers.. It equally ignorant. What if you miss out on the best thing that ever happened to you because of that rule??? I will never date a crackhead sounds more plausible.

  • The_Truth

    ***All she needs is a movie role and I swear she’ll blow. . .

  • NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    I will never date a Pedophile or T Pain

  • NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    I will never date this dude here at work…he wears suspenders AND a belt…he is an accountant

  • Oshie – how u do dat? I call it dope girl magic

    @ Nikki U: Damn, his pants must be trying to run away.

  • Oshie – how u do dat? I call it dope girl magic

    Oh, and I will never date George Clooney. I would like to, but it’s not gonna happen. :(

  • NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    From what Oshie…what?

  • cocoa49

    they all say that……

  • Oshie – how u do dat? I call it dope girl magic

    @ Nikki U: If the pants want to leave it is best to let them leave and not ask questions.

  • HF

    Who is Keri Hilson? Kudos on having some sense, but when she said “if u c me with some1, u probably won’t know him”, I thought, dag… I don’t even know U!

  • http://www.myspace.com/pazjon1 Hey Hey

    Honestly,

    I don’t think whether the guy is an athlete or entertainer even matters…The guy could be a plain dude, broke, or Christian and have the same problems, or run into the same issues…
    But perhaps she won’t date the entertainers she knows about, because I have male friends I would NEVER date, just because I know all of their dirty business…
    Nice interview!

  • HF

    PURPPLE

    how come nobody wants the plumber, cable guy or construction worker……

  • pm

  • PURPPLE

    @HF

  • NIKKI UNDERWOOD

  • PURPPLE

    NU thats my best “classy” before 12 lingo…..

  • SMDH

    Good for her!!

    No woman should have to deal with the arrogance and self entitlement that these athletes are rappers always wanna act like their ignorant asses are welcome to..

  • Brook Lynn Choclate Gyrl (Mama said: Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what ya gonna get..)

    I will never date Puffy, yet I will Date Ricky Ross, Hhahaha

  • Brook Lynn Choclate Gyrl (Mama said: Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what ya gonna get..)

    She’s gorgeous tho…

  • NYC Gal

    I just love Keri’s hairstyle!! It looks good on her.

  • http://www.j.com noelle

    I would. LOL! and he better make as much as me…..like 50/70 lol. nice percentage

  • Always Classy

    Im 31 and I have learned to Never say Never! She has no idea who she may be with in the future. It’s obvious she’s making comments to get attention. It’s working because here we are talking about it. I think the comment makes her sound young minded & stupid. If she happens to meet a guy who treats her good & she falls in love. It wont matter who he is. Trust!

  • SoulfulTea

    You all don’t know her, but many of you are AWARE of the hits she’s written. Who can forget about Mary J. B liges’ Take me as I am? Well, Keri Hilson WROTE that song. And she wrote many of Britney Spears hits, so I dont’ think she low on cash, quite the opposite. So I’m sure she knows ALL too well the in & outs of dating in the “music industry”. Look her up & you’ll see just how many hits that many of you have been bobbing your heads to. She’s been a songwriter for lots of A-List Artist for years. Check her stats. Google her.

    Just my .02 cents.

  • Princess Moon

    good for her!!

    Tycoons, entreprenaurs and business men are whats up

    ” I think the comment makes her sound young minded & stupid.”

    LOL – You just don’t know how stupid and ignorant YOU sound saying this… Why is she stupid for not wanting to get wrapped up with these overindulged clowns who we already know don’t respect women?? So when a sista respects herself she’s “stupid” but when she gets mixed up with one of these women disrespecting bastards when “she’ll deserve it” for getting involed with these men that she “knows” how they are?!?!? Right back up in that daamned if you do damned if you don’t situation the black woman is always placed in..

    C’mon now!!

  • soulwoman

    She said that she wouldn’t date an athlete or entertainer in general. Not just the ones that she know. She is really dingy if she thinks that only entertainers are messy, and just because she is with a preacher, or the guy the construction worker that’s going to automatically save her from getting screwed over.

  • SMDH

    “She said that she wouldn’t date an athlete or entertainer in general. Not just the ones that she know. She is really dingy if she thinks that only entertainers are messy, and just because she is with a preacher, or the guy the construction worker that’s going to automatically save her from getting screwed over.”

    Yeah but the chances she will end up with a much better man than what these athletes and entertainers are today are much greater than not and all these haters that this girl has some pride and self worth KNOW that!!! Now if she was chasign them you’d all be calling her some sort of groupie or Karrin Steffans type slore.. Just stop it!! This girl has PRIDE and RESPECT and more sistas need that!!!

  • d

    bish give them hits to ciara and fall back in the background where you belong

  • yeah ok

    please…we all know she is correct. once the enterainers get a big head it hard as hell to get them to act right.
    it take a regular guy a few mistakes to get it correct. how long do you think it takes a normal guy.

    Keri right…speak honey speak.

  • DDub

    That’s good to know. That means, as a nobody-u-know, I gotta chance..

  • shay

    Can’t blame her those industry NIccaz aint sh*t!

  • shay

    Can’t blame her those industry NIccaz aint sh*t!

  • pm

    The rich women want to date regular guys ,the regular women ones want to date rich guys and both change that tune at about age 33.

  • princedonte

    idk know bout that one keri she might have to eat her words i mos def see her with some one famous

  • Richard

    Women like sucessful men but if they REALLY know those are the cats hittn ALL the ass.

    If U R ik with that then cool but why would any woman question what she said?

    If a man said ….’I am not dating any prostitutes” people wouldn’t question.

    I once had so much ass coming to me that I wondered if I was an addict. I couldn’t imagine if I had a sweeter jumper or ran a 4.3 40 how much more i could get.

    She has the right attitude.

  • WordtotheWise

    I don’t blame her. She’s not saying only entertainers/sports figures are negative, but she probably has a lot of inside info we on the outside don’t have and she’s more concerned about the person’s make up and not his stacks. Hell yeah, I’ll take a plumber, electrician, or any hard working man over some egotistical, self-centered, cheating baller any day. Maybe that’s why so many women are single b/c they overlook the bus drivers and “regular” guys.

  • http://myspace.com/jaerisk jaerisk

    damn she fine

  • Bo$$

    Keri is really Hot! I’d wife her up…

  • blaq

    OMG, Her personality is as boring as her music!!! Ladies stop putting labels on men, we hate it when it’s done to us. Look for a man that is responsible, loving, respectful, decent and morally sound these qualities outweigh any profession.

  • Betterdayz

    I like the concept but you can’t exclude a man because of his profession. She should search for a mate with endearing character traits and not focus on what he does for a living.

  • soulwoman

    Betterdayz

    “She should search for a mate with endearing character traits and not focus on what he does for a living.”
    ————————————————-

    Exactly.

  • BKLYNZ OWN (another day another dollar)

    ITS ALL GOOD MAMI……COME UNDER MY WING….A REGULAR JOE LIKE ME WOULD TREAT YOU THE WAY UR SUPPOSED TO BE TREATED..

  • Oh Really???

    This girl is beautiful, I like her, she not the next Rihanna though. Sorry ma.

  • bg

    Looks like im in business. I’m not an athelete or entertainer. come to daddy boo

  • damn

    I wished she was gay. This confirms it.

  • JK

    She can date an athlete or an entertainer, she not famous her damn self. Who cares, NEXT.

  • wifey06

    these poeple amaze me with how much they don’t realize that they are the catlyst for the devil.

    Why would a good christian man need a woman who makes music for the devil? It is secular music regardless.

    tripped me out how beyonce did that interview and she was so proud to go back to her church and give them props but in reality it is sad… God gave them a gift and she wanted to thank the church for giving her her start to her career working for the devil.

    No one has respect for the church anymore. IT is something to say you do or are a part of.

  • Marco

    i dnt believe she would’nt deal with a athlete or entertainer,,someone of her status, its going to be hard you find somebody who’s a regular old joe bringing what she’s bringing to the table far as meeting responsibilities and supporting her lavish lifestyle..somebody like me im on the comeup i go to community college for nursing,also strivng for a contract to the nfl,,but keep backups, things are not guranteed..even using my talents such ass football. my morals are also on track never change if i make it big or not..ill still treat a woman with the up most respect n to keep her happy n stress free..n im terrified of even catching something, so me stickin in to whatever models leg spreaded aint gone happen…its just about the upbringing of a man,,cuz my moms n pops did a good ass job..so ima try to make it big for the fam forget wheather u like me or not cuz i got bread..fam first im in it to win it for them…and my wife, girlfriend whoever im good she good ima treater like a goddest my moms would want me too….awwwwww..lol

  • pm

    .

  • Darkesthourglass

    I’ll never date a guy with tatoos on his face.

    She didn’t say wouldn’t date a rich dude though. She’d be better off dating a behind the scences guy.

  • sick man

    keri rhymes with hairy i wonder if she’d let an athlete pop that cherry

  • Toni Montana

    Smart female. no wonder she dont sell many records. seems like you gotta be a ho or deviant nowdays.

    Thats ok with that kind of thinking she will marry a investment banker, real estate mogul, CEO, or even a prince of another country.

    When will people learn The entertainment industry is SHORT MONEY ANYWAY!! 10 yrs in the game (if your lucky) and then what?

  • Always Classy

    @ SMDH

    All Im saying is that rather the man is famous or regular. That does not make him good or bad & you have no way of knowing who you may end up with. Im noticing that you are taking the comments personal as if we are talking to you. Im not stupid or ignorant sounds like to me you are bitter.

  • Fatimah

    lmao @ the beatles-inspired wig comment. Bossip yall wrong for that.

  • jenni

    she is sssssssssssooooooooooooo beautiful. i love all her songs. (if you don’t know who keri hilson is were have you been? n welcome back loser.)

  • CantStandKH

    So glad that she will never date an entertainer…….. cause if she do then she will mess up their carreer. hers is already down hill and screwed.
