Keri Hilson takes a jab at Ciara about low sales.




R&B singer Keri Hilson recently took a jab at Ciara for her new album, Basic Instinct, selling just over 35,000 records in its first-week on store shelves.

According to reports, Hilson called out Ciara's emphasis on album sales not holding relevance to an artist's buzz or brand.

Keri Hilson stirred up some controversy with her remarks about Ciara. In an interview with Power 105.1 on Wednesday (December 22), Keri was asked if she was nervous about releasing her album, No Boys Allowed.

"I would like to [sell] higher than 35k - I mean anyone would," said Keri referring to Ciara's CD Basic Instinct which sold 37,000 copies last week. "I saw a quote where [Ciara] said it's not all about the numbers and I'm not really a chart reader. I don't look at charts. It's probably what she honestly feels," said Keri.
