American singer, songwriter and actress Keri Lynn Hilson was born on 5 December 1982 in Dacatur, Georgia, United States.

The singer has some traces of the popular ethnic group in Nigeria referred to as Efik and Ibibio but fondly known as Calabar.

In a video she shared on insta-video, the songstress was busy downloading a plate full of Eba and the popular Calabar “Edikang Ikong” soup.

Edikang ikong is a dish that is considered the best and most palatable amongst the Calabarians. It is a dish prepared with vegetable leaf, water leaf, meat, dry fish, periwinkle, stock fish and many other ingredients that makes it mouthwatering.

The singer who could not stop singing the praise of this meal in her video said the meal is really enjoyable.

How can this be or is she originally a Calabarian? Or she has some trails of the Calabars.

Her songs include; knock you down, energy, one night stand and many more. She also featured in the following movies; Riddick, think like a man, almost Christmas, love by the 10th day etc. she is also a multiple award winner in her career as a singer and actress.
