Keri, like many of us were doing yesterday, was attempting to enjoy her Thanksgiving Day when she was rudely alerted about a supposed tweet of hers that was making its way around Twitter.

The tweet was quickly exposed as a fake while Keri claimed that she has nothing but love for Africa. In fact, she is scheduled to perform in Tanzania and Kenya next month.
