Keri Hilson stepped out recently to attend DeVyne Stephen’s Christmas Gala in Atlanta decked in all black everything.

MissKeriBaby rolled solo to the event and her signature album, “No Boys Allowed,” has made it clear that the singer is only interested in grown “A”zz men.

According to a recent interview,  Keri could be rocking a “No Rappers Allowed” necklace soon, because the diva who poots pennies says she refuses to fall for any dude who spits verses.

Hilson explains how she’ll never let a man use her “as a publicity stunt”…

Keri confirmed to EUR that she meant what she said, but she clarified her statement just a bit:

“Yeah, I did kind of say that. What I meant by that was honestly, I put a lot in that category – rappers, sports players, ball players and things like that.

I would never say “never,” but I want something real. I want real love.  I don’t want this red carpet Hollywood love. I feel like they’re easily penetrated, and that’s something that I don’t want.

I don’t want publicity. I want love.

Awwwww…. *sheds tear* how beautiful!

Is Keri’s decision to avoid rappers to avoid “publicity stunts” a valid argument?
