Keri Hilson bemoaned the exploitation of the African culture and advised that the black community should not allow that to keep going.

Her tweet reads: “We have to become more responsible gatekeepers of our culture—its people, its products, and its art forms. We have to more fervently protect our “properties.” We can’t keep allowing the exploitation of our culture for the gain of ppl outside our community. Those days must end.”
