00:02:54 --> 00:02:55 a continuation of my story from
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58 yesterday about Carrie Hilson and I'm so
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02 glad that this story came up now if you
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04 checked out my story about Carrie Hilson
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07 yesterday she was on the Breakfast Club
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10 and Carrie Hilson is a singer songwriter
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11 and I'm just going to shorten this up
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13 because I don't want to repeat of what
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14 we had yesterday but
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18 basically 16 years ago she was a upand
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21 cominging um singer songwriter well she
00:03:22 --> 00:03:26 was been a songwriter forever but he was
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27 she was getting really really big at
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31 that time and she had a remix to one of
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34 her biggest songs Turning Me On and in
00:03:34 --> 00:03:38 that song she had a disc a really big
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41 disc and she threw a lot of shade at
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44 Beyonce on this remix
00:03:44 --> 00:03:48 now with that she got a lot of backlash
00:03:48 --> 00:03:52 she got blacklisted um Beyonce fans and
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54 Beyond was just throwing shade at her
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56 throwing shade at her she couldn't do
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57 anything in her career and it basically
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00 just ruined her entire career at that
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03 time so she she quit music um she
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05 couldn't do interviews or anything
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08 without them bringing up this beef and
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11 so yesterday she had went on the
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14 Breakfast Club she is doing this big
00:04:14 --> 00:04:18 comeback and she all she explained a lot
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20 of what happened and one of the things
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23 she said that happened is the producers
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25 he kind of protected this whole story
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27 and she said according to her that the
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29 producers at that time said if she
00:04:29 --> 00:04:33 didn't do this this disc of Beyonce then
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35 they weren't going to do uh work with
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38 her anymore and they were hot at that
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40 time those producers were really hot and
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41 they was giving bangers and stuff and
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44 she said she was young and she felt like
00:04:44 --> 00:04:48 she had no choice even though maybe she
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50 did but she said she felt that she
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52 didn't have any choice at that time but
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54 she said she took responsibility
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57 um in that and she said she she tried to
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59 fight him and was like I'm not doing
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01 that i'm not doing this i'm not going to
00:05:01 --> 00:05:04 say these words on this song but they
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07 kept you know kind of pressuring her to
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09 this and she finally did it and you see
00:05:09 --> 00:05:13 what happened so um but we didn't hear
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15 the whole story the only story we heard
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17 is you know basically you dissing
00:05:17 --> 00:05:20 Beyonce and you you're you know
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23 basically you disrespecting this artist
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24 that we love
00:05:24 --> 00:05:29 and that's what happened
00:05:29 --> 00:05:33 so come to find out the producer
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36 songwriter that actually did it her name
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39 was Esther Dean and Esther Dean came out
00:05:39 --> 00:05:43 yesterday and actually admitted and
00:05:43 --> 00:05:47 apologized for writing the lyrics to
00:05:47 --> 00:05:51 that remix and I'm so glad that she did
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54 i'm so glad because it takes some of the
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56 heat off of Carrie no it doesn't take
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57 all of the heat but it takes some of the
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00 heat off of her and here's
00:06:00 --> 00:06:04 what what was said that said um Esther
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06 Dean has apologized for her role in

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17 singer songwriter took to Instagram and
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19 took accountability for writing a
00:06:19 --> 00:06:22 problem problematic verse for the remix
00:06:22 --> 00:06:26 of Hilson's his single Turning Me On in
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29 2009 Dean uh wrote Hilson's verse in
