Singer Keri Hilson has revealed that she believes that Nicole Scherzinger is “kinda forced” to remain a Pussycat Doll.

The R&B singer claimed that Scherzinger’s solo album Her Name Is Nicole has been pushed back several times in order for her to continue in the girl group, Ace Showbiz reports.

Hilson told the Daily Star: “I wrote ‘Alienated’, one of the songs on my album, for Nicole’s solo project. It was a good album but she decided to go back to the Dolls instead of releasing it, well she was kinda forced to I think.”

Scherzinger will reportedly leave the Pussycat Dolls to focus on her solo career after promotion for their Doll Domination LP is finished.

I always thought the plan was for Nicole to go solo after the first Pussycat Dolls album. This was apparently the agreement from the very beginning.

But anyway, the reality is the solo singles she dropped didn’t generate any buzz due to lack of interest. So she rejoined the group.

I’m not sure if it was a case of her being ‘forced’. But then again Keri’s knee deep in the sewer that is today’s music industry, so she would know.
