Ester Dean has officially issued a public apology for “her part” in the Beyoncé diss that many believe played a major role in derailing Keri Hilson’s music career.
Keri opened up during an interview with “The Breakfast Club,” where she revealed that producer Polow Da Don “forced” her to record the controversial remix of “Turnin’ Me On” by threatening to withhold the release of her album.
Keri also mentioned the song was written by someone else—though she didn’t name names.
Well… Ester Dean gladly filled in the blank by proudly hopping on social media to claim her credit, commenting:
And did. It was a hit!
But, sis must’ve felt the heat because she quickly backpedaled once the backlash rolled in.
🔥 Ester Dean’s Apology: Growth or Damage Control?
Just an hour after claiming credit for the Beyoncé diss track, Ester Dean returned to social media to issue an apology, writing:
I submitted a lot of verses for that remix—one got picked, and it was co-written with Keri.
Looking back, it was childish and didn’t age well. I see how it hurt people, especially women, and I take full accountability.
I’ve worked with and supported many women since, but that doesn’t erase the moment.
I’m sorry for my part in it. Growth is real, and so is this apology.
See the apology below.
Whew! That’s a major pivot.
One commenter summed it up perfectly by asking:
“How do you go from ‘it was a hit’ to an apology?”
Ester replied simply:
“Full ⭕️.”

👀 Keri Hilson Co-Wrote The Diss Track Too?
Something else worth noting—Ester mentioned that the remix was co-written with Keri Hilson, which adds another layer to this messy music moment.
Whether that was a quiet clapback or just clarification, it definitely raised some eyebrows.
Let’s not forget this whole controversy stemmed from the belief that the lyrics were aimed at Beyoncé, sparking years of rumors, criticism, and tension in the industry.
