[Photos] Keri Hilson Comes Out of Hiatus, Visits Nation’s Capital for Valeisha Butterfield’s New Firm

Keri Hilson may be taking a break from music, but she’s certainly still making public appearances. As you’ll recall, last week, the 30-year-old singer announced that she’s taking a breaky-pooh (not a real word, but what we’re REALLY tryna say is she’s taking a ‘break’) from music, but denied pregnancy reports:

I get how you could THINK you found clues to that conclusion you conjured…but I’m NOT pregnant. Those “clues” are unrelated & exaggerated. Thought addressing that would help CLEAR some confusion but it created more o_O And you wonder why I choose to be quiet/private these days! I was simply showing appreciation 4 fans who stayed down during a hiatus that I never addressed. M’kay? Besides that… *runs to gym*

This week, we caught her alongside Roland Martin, in DC, at the launch of Valeisha Butterfield’s new firm (we exclusively broke the story earlier this week, that Butterfield was shooting a reality TV show & yep–cameras were rollin’), Butterfield, Wall & Associates. Also present were Valeisha’s partner Tara Walls and her hubby, Dahntay. Peep a few candids.
