Keri Hilson Had a Shady Break Up From Ricardo Lockette While the Fellas Wasted No Time Diving in Her DM
Sometimes, when things fizzle out in a relationship, both parties feel that itch to let a little shade fly in their ex's direction via social media. Others tend to take the high road, keeping their page cute while healing from their breakups offline. Keri Hilson and former pro football player Ricardo Lockette did a little bit of both when announcing their split this week.

Ricardo posted the above inspirational quote. Based on the caption "Wish you the best beautiful," many felt it was a clear indication that he had parted ways with the "Pretty Girl Rock" singer. If you look closely, you'll see he tagged some widely followed celebrity pages including The Shade Room, Baller Alert and MTV. Seems a bit much for an innocent inspirational post, amiright?
That post didn't get past Keri for one second. The singer took to Twitter with a not-so-subliminal message to her ex-boyfriend.
His response was anything but subtle. (Ladies, we know how that "lol" can get under our skin.)
Keri and Ricardo began dating this summer, to the surprise of everyone who remembered her saying that she would no longer date rappers, actors, and ball players. Following her break up with basketball player Serge Ibaka one year earlier, she told Rolling Out, "It wasn’t 'enthralling' for me to date an athlete. It was on my list of “not to dos” — no rappers, no actors and no ball players. I broke my rule because I thought I found someone different … It wasn’t an attraction to the status and the money."
Well, now that Keri is back on the market, all of the regular degular guys are pleading their case:
God speed, fellas.
Sometimes breaking up is hard to do. After going through Scrappy's phone and seeing some suspicious messages, Love & Hip Hop Atlanta's Erica tells Scrappy that she wants to take a break from their relationship.
