Well, it’s nice to know that Alicia Keys loves her fans. Despite her tribulations, her meltdowns, and now her slow comeback she knows her fans are what keep her going and she gladly respects them in kind.
No, wait - I forgot: this is Alicia Keys! No, she’s a bitch who doesn’t get down unless she gets paid (kinda like that “waitress” who does “massages” on the side). Seems they were throwing a promo party in her honor for her new album. However, the promoters (who had - promoted - she would be there) hadn’t paid her full $15,000 appearance fee (they were four grand short). Does Ms. Thang come out anyway to see her adoring fans? Fuck no. As New York Daily News says:
Alicia was slated for a midnight arrival, but by the time 1:30 a.m. rolled around, her bodyguards, friends and even boyfriend were all inside waiting for her. Outside, Keys drove around the neighborhood. “These promoters were digging in their pockets, looking for cash, and were still short,” said another source. “The owner of the club even offered to pay the remainder of the owed money himself, just to get her in the club.” That’s where fans who’d paid $25 a pop were waiting, says the spywitness: “One eight-months-pregnant lady, who is an Alicia Keys superfan, showed up and waited for hours just to see her.”
Imagine, $15 grand just show your damn ass. What a country. To make matters worse, these loyal fans of hers will just believe whatever shitty story she whips up in response. Why? Because “they love her”, “they adore her”.
Then again, maybe she needs the extra cash for her acne treatments…
