Remy Ma Takes An L Today+Alicia Keys Set To Hawk Vitamin Water For $50 Mill?
Damn Remy. Chick took a loss today. She was formally sentenced to 8 years in Rikers for shooting Makeda Barnes outside a NYC nightclub months ago. Her lawyer says they will appeal, but in the meantime chick is on heavy lock up status. And to make matters worse, her jailbird wedding to Papoose never went own yesterday as planned. Why you ask? Because dum dum diddy Papoose tried to sneak in a handcuff key and is now banned from even visiting Rikers for the next six months. You’re in lock up in Rikers with nobody to do your weave, no freedom to rock your fave coochie cutters, and now not even a conjugal visit can go down for six months? Damn homie. Rough times.
Sources exclusively tell The YBF that Alicia Keys is the next spokesperson for Vitamin Water. She’ll be joining 50 Cent (who has recently stated he doesn’t like Alicia anymore) and Kelly Clarkson in that Vitamin Water hawking arena. I’m told her contract with the Vitamin Water company is worth $50 million. Damn. An announcement will likely happen some time in June around her Summer Jam appearance in the NYC. Congrats to Alicia!

On May 13, 2008 at 1:45 pm | Reply | QuoteIs it just me or does anyone else think Papoose may have done that on purpose. I dont think one person living in the state of ny doesn’t know how crazy it is at Rikers. I’ve heard on numerous occasions that they treat visitors like prisoners with they way they search through your stuff, and treat you. How is it that he thought he was bringing any type of “metal” or keys back to see her!? And he had to know they would be extra because of the type of attention surrounding this whole situation. Like really what could have been the use of that key except to stop the wedding. I know he didn’t think he was bringing her home with it. I may be in the minority but I’m not buying this story.

She even acting in this wack series that airs during The Hills and I’m sorry but Alicia is a horrible dancer and actress. She is trying too hard to get more mainstream. We already have a Beyonce so Alicia need to stick to what made people love her. Singing and playing the piano. She trying too hard now and is looking fake.

NOW I KNOW YOU ARE CRAZY….BEYONCE DID NOT HAVE A CHOICE TO DO WHAT SHE WHANTED TO DO..HER DAD MADE ALL THE DECISIONS TO KEEP HER IN THE LIME LIGHT..ALICIA IS HER OWN PERSON (AND THAT’S WHAT I REALLY LIKE ABOUT HER..SHE IS NOT A ROBOT). SHE MAKES ALL HER OWN DECISIONS..AND BEYONCE WILL NEVER HAVE AS MUCH TALENT AS ALICIA, AND YOU KNOW I’M RIGHT..WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW BEYONCE DO AN INTERVIEW OR A SPOKE PERSON FOR A CHARITY..(SPEAKING FOR MORE THAN 2 MINUTES). ALICIA WILL ALWAYS BE THE GIRL WHO IS A ROLE MODLE, A MUSICIAN, AN ACTRESS, A SPOKEPERSON, AND MOST OF ALL A BEAUTIFUL HUMBLE PERSON WHO TOOK A YEAR OFF(OUT OF THE LIME LIGHT) FROM HER MUSIC TO GIVE TO A GOOD CAUSE (CHARTIY).

On May 13, 2008 at 3:30 pm | Reply | QuoteAlicia is just coming into her own and becoming a woman which she has the right to do so, its a big difference from being 19 and 27, u should expect change. not only that she feel more comfortable in her skin. you have to remember that growing up she lived in hells kitchen and had to protect herself so thats why she was so hard and street. you cant fake something, cause she is definitely not living the street life anymore so it would be fake of her to act as if she was. just take a look at your self over an 8 year journey, has thing changed???? YES, have you changed?? , MOST DEFINITELY! Alicia has become a MEGA STAR and people want to attach themselves and their brands to BIG NAMES.endorsements and what not where coming in at the start of her career, she just shyed away from them. There is room for both her and Beyonce. As for the dancing/acting she went to a performing arts school(graduated valedictorian @ 16) where u learn to do it all. she was in a girls group that sang and danced. DO U ALICIA and i love it!!!!

I simplified my statement a bit, but Rikers is for people who either cannot afford bail or who were denied bail, for those serving sentences of up to a year, and for those awaiting transfer to another facility. So I guess it’s technically possible for someone to spend a little over a year. But Remy will not be there doing those eight years there.

On May 13, 2008 at 4:03 pm | Reply | Quotere. alicia she might have just wanted to change. madona and janet j. constantly reinvent themselves. for all we know the corn rolls and jeans look was a gimick-100% stylist picked, 0% Alicia Keys genuine style. plus she came out when Jill and India came out all earthy and successful so her debut looked very well could have been to fit in and compete w/the hot vibe of the day. as for dancing, she danced during that tour w/missy and beyonce too so that’s not too new. ppl are allowed to change-for some reason ppl are always dissapointed when earthy people change physically (i know this from personal experience) like that means they changed on the inside and that’s to say that your image and style relfects your values and intellect anyway-and we know it doesn’t. u can’t judge a book by it’s cover. let alicia grow, re-brand herself, reinvent, revert, whatever…

Beyonce and Halle Berry are the only black women you see on commercials and ya’ll know it. You cant deny Beyonce is beautiful and talented and so is Alicia but they all get compared to Beyonce because she is the most popular and like her or not she is successful at everything and has done it all. Like I said we already have a Beyonce. I liked Alicia because she was the opposite. We need diversity and Alicia was different but now she is changing and not all her fans like her new sexy image. That’s all I’m saying gosh. Some of you Alicia stans need help.
