We know Keri Hilson has never been a shrinking violet, and after allegedly throwing shade on Beyonce back in the day, she is just as vigilant about clapping back at thirst traps who try to throw it at her man on social media platforms.

No one’s outright calling her a racist, but it does seem like Swaggy P is the only brother Iggy has’t outright disrespected yet.

The man they call “Boobie” was popular in Cleveland during LeBron James’ first attempt to bring a championship to Northeast Ohio in the early aughts. Now everyone just knows him as Keyshia Cole’s baby daddy.
