Remy Ma Takes An L Today+Alicia Keys Set To Hawk Vitamin Water For $50 Mill?

May 13 | by Natasha

Damn Remy. Chick took a loss today. She was formally sentenced today 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!

[quote comment="90989"]Alicia is getting more and more commercial. She is trying to dance, wearing tight dresses,and now she trying to get endorsements? It seem like she trying to be like Beyonce more and more every day. Now before you Bey haters/Alicia stans attack I'm an Alicia fan but I miss the OLD Alicia. 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. Im no STAN of anyone and this is just my opinion so dont have a heart attack Alicia stans.[/quote] Your post reminds me of this blind item from Nov.'07. [quote]This popular female singer is topping the charts with her latest album, but a lot of her fans are disappointed with her new sexy image. She has been wearing revealing outfits and tons of makeup because record label bosses want her competing with other singers. This female singer can sing, and she is also a talented musician. Her fans feel she doesn't need to look like a hoochie to prove her worth.[/quote]

I knew the crazy Alicia stans

I knew the crazy Alicia stans would attack. Look I clearly said I am an Alicia FAN not stan and I just gave my opinion. Geesh she is not God. The Alicia stans are the craziest people on Earth. Keep it real you know Beyonce is the 1st black singer to get 50/11 endorsements. 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.

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).

I just wonder why is it that

I just wonder why is it that because Alicia Keys is taking care of herself, has obviously upgraded stylists and is now getting BIG endorsement deals, she's trying to act like "Beyonce". God. Beyonce is not the first chick to get a deal. Some of y'll need to quit muff divin on Beyonce and realize that she is not the first or the last to do anything she had done. Chick is not all that. Mariah gets married and she's trying to be like Beyonce. Alicia gets and endorsement and she is trying to be like Beyonce. I woke up and got out of bed this morning. Am I trying to be like Beyonce too?

You took the words right out

You took the words right out of my mouth. IGNORANT(did I spell that right), but anyway I just feel bad for her son that he had such a selfish mother. I am a mom & I think twice before I do anything stupid, because I have to worry about how it will affect my daughters..Whatever homegirl did it was not worth her leaving her son out her motherless.When she tells her story she is always talking about she didnt have a mom & used to sleep on friends couches, she is set up her son for destruction. He is going to be angry & hurt.Everybody want to be so, hard & bad & look where it got her, she was on every show crying before going to jail.You get more props showing you are the bigger woman & let the hood rat keep the money if she took it, now look where she is(at home) and where are you JAIL DUMBY

Alicia is just coming into

Alicia 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'm pretty sure. I used to work for the City, and I've done the tour and even been to a BBQ there, lol. 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.

re. alicia she might have

re. 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...
