Ester Dean Admits Writing Keri Hilson Beyoncé Diss Then Apologizes Following the Backlash

This week singer / songwriter Keri Hilson tearfully admitted she was forced to record the infamous Beyoncé diss on the 'Turning Me On," remix, and that she has protected the actual songwriter for years [click here if you missed that]. 

Singer / songwriter Ester Dean, who has co-wrote and produced many hits including 'Super Bass' for Nicki Minaj and 'Rude Boy' for Rihanna, gleefully took the credit for writing the diss, but then apologized after the BeyHive and Team Keri drag her for blood...

After fans began speculating about the writer in the comment section of Keri's Breakfast Club interview, Ester was only too happy to come forward and claim her work. 

As the day wore on Ester started feeling the heat.  

Ester also shared a picture of herself and Polow the Don, adding insult to injury.

Mind you this was the “Keri Hilson - Beyoncé Diss” 😭😂

I believe her when she says she’s didn’t write it this wasn’t clever at all. And we know she has a way with words
