Actress Keri Hilson Talks ‘Hip Hop Family Christmas Wedding’

However, the Hip Hop Family Christmas franchise isn’t the first time Keri and her onscreen fiancé Ne-Yo have collabed. In fact, Ne-Yo was featured on Keri’s debut album, In A Perfect World.

In the years since Keri and Ne-Yo first met, their friendship has tremendously blossomed, which, according to Keri, made the kissing scenes in the film “quite awkward.” She added, “Because we are truly friends. He’s someone that sent me his first child’s picture in the hospital after birth.”
