Writing at Ebony, Michael Arceneaux warns the singer to stop being "nasty and messy" but reminds critics that her biggest fan is that she possibly doesn't like Beyoncé.

… There are other examples of you two-stepping in some mess. Like when you dissed Ke$ha by saying on camera, "I hate that b*tch" as you proceeded to ask that her songs be turned off in favor of "some real music." And while this wasn't a diss, it was a bit odd to see you tweet "Gasp* Amy Winehouse resurrected to party w/ me!!! (seriously, uncanny resemblance)" two days after she died.
Oh yeah, you recently sent the following message to Kanye West (with a smile) in an interview with Rap-Up: "Don't get too wrapped up in baby world that you forget about Keri Hilson 'cause we make great music together."
Bless your heart, you were probably kidding and just may be a lovely person in-person. Nevertheless, you've got to understand that not everyone is going to get you and your Cruella De Vil sense of humor. And again, while I don't condone people hiding behind anonymity to say vile things to you, you can't be nasty and messy and then proceed to feign befuddlement when met with a taste of your own medicine.
You are gorgeous and write some nice songs, so moving forward focus on that and set your slickness levels to the extra low.
