Keri Hilson, who calls Decatur home, won the "Best New Artist" BET award Sunday evening.
She gave a shout out to Decatur.

Looking gorgeous in a slinky dress adorned with blue and red stars, Hilson yelled: “Is Atlanta in the house?! I just feel like that little girl from Decatur, Georgia singing into her hairbrush. I did not expect to win this at all. God does reward the diligent.”
