"Turnin On" Keri Hilson & Lil Wayne

Welcome to YoungHollywood. com. Hey guys, it's Michelle Marie and we're here literally in the dressing room with singer and songwriter Keri Hilson, who just got off stage at the Lexus event. How do you feel about the performance so far?

Uh, I feel like it was good. It was good. It was a good crowd.

You have had so much success in just the past couple years. You broke through from behind the scenes and now you're in the limelight. How do you feel so far about the journey you've had?

Being an artist was always my first dream. So this is the fruition of that dream.

Your single right now is doing really, really good with Lil Wayne. Turning Me On is my favorite song right now.

It amazes me every day. Life ain't swaggy around can't be popping you know just how to talk to me know just how I get your turning me on. It was something that Polo Da Don produced and he said, "You know, I think this could be it."

How did you and Weezy come together? Did he come to you or did you go to him?

No, we went to him. We figured out he would be the perfect person for it. Cuz I make it rain girl, make it rain girl. You just hot when you ain't never been to rain girl. Polo says, "Hey, I got this Keri Hilson song. It sounds really good. I'd love to get a feature." Wayne stops him and says, "Look, stop. You don't even have to give me the spill. I'm a fan of Keri Hilson." Needless to say, we sent him the song. We're thinking it's gonna take about two weeks to get it back. He did it and sent it back in an hour. Miss Keri, baby. This Keri, baby.

Well, you've definitely spent some time with him. You guys were on tour. What's it like hanging with Weezy?

He keeps to himself a lot. Most nights, it would be odd to see him off of the stage. He's a very chill person.

Besides just the song, the video is great. Tell us about the concept behind it. You had to have eye candy. The men were just yeah.

It really was just about, you know, showing guys how you can approach a real woman in a funny way.

So what's the best way to approach you? If a guy came up to you and were to hit on you?

I can tell you what not to do. That's don't flash your money. Don't touch me until I ask you to. Don't name drop, don't There's so many don'ts. And they just, you know, they think that they can run the same game on a real woman that they run on the scallywags who make it easy for them.

How would you describe like a day for yourself when you're not working on music?

Wow, when am I not working on music? That's the question. That is the real question. I'm a homebody. I mean, you would see me at home watching movies on demand. I love horror movies.

You've worked with every artist basically that there is to man. Timbaland, of course, Britney Spears, Usher. There's so many names. Are there any artists that you have on the horizon at the moment?

Of course, I'd love to work with Ne-Yo. I'd love to work with Kanye West, Will. i. am, CeeLo and Lauren Hill. Gotta add Lauren Hill.

We know that you've spent a lot of time with Timbaland. What is one thing about him that you could tell the audience that they might not know?

When I first met him, I thought he didn't like me. I was like, "Well why, why does he wanna work with me?" He didn't even like me. You know, I was like, "He's so grumpy," but no, he's just to himself. That's just him.

What's one thing that the audience doesn't know about you?

I hate when my feet are dirty. It's like it's a I'm obsessed with it. I can't stand to walk barefoot on hardly anything.

This is Young Hollywood and I'm Young Hollywood.

Your girl Keri Hilson. Peace.
