reymiu Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Much has been talked about Beyonce supposedly replacing Keri Hilson on Usher's LITC Remix Part 2 But do you know the reverse also happened - Ms. Keri Hilson did replace another A-List female star on the official single release of this song? The song is called Numba 1 (Tide is High) by Kardinal Offishall. On the album tracklist the song features Rihanna For the official single, they replaced Rihanna w Keri Hilson instead Miss Keri Baby also appeared in the music video Which version do you prefer? The album version ft Rihanna or the single version ft Keri Hilson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nostalgic Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I never knew the other version existed which is odd because Rih undoubtedly would have made the single more successful. Keri is fine on it but that was certainly a choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Rihanna would’ve made it bigger but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicLoverDude Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 That was definitely a dumb move. Keri was having SOME success at the time but definitely not at the same level as Rihanna. This would have been late 2008/early 2009 so Rihanna was coming off of Take a Bow, Disturbia and Rehab plus a T.I. feature. Keri only had Turnin' Me On which hadn't really been a minor hit yet. Idk, maybe they thought the T.I. feature would cannibalize the success. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricanaire Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 **** if I can find a high quality version of Rihanna’s, Keri’s, and PCD’s, I can make a high quality version of the YouTube video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
