In accordance with our “Discussion of the Day” this trifling-ness fell in our laps…or should we say computer screens?
Many were surprised when Alicia Keys dropped her manager, Jeff Robinson of MBK Entertainment this past weekend. He has been with her for 14 years. Although they maintain that the split was amicable, being “mutually agreed upon,” many thought it was very strange that Keys was now going to “oversee all aspects of her personal career.”
According to a source on Necole Bitchie:
“Over the past few weeks, It’s been pretty tense in house. Swizz Beatz has been there and has been taking a pretty active role of being a manager. He has been pitching her to people and he’s becoming very vocal in the direction of her career.”
According to another source, Alicia Keys also axed her entire glam squad. “Swizz Beatz is trying to remove anyone from the team that appears to be a threat because of his own insecurities” says the source.
The source also reveals that no one approved of Alicia’s relationship with Swizz Beatz because of the drama and baggage that revolve around the relationship. “Some are questioning his motives“. Case in point, Swizz Beatz pushed for the release of “Put It In A Love Song” featuring Beyonce even though the song received mediocre reviews. He not only produced the song but he co-directed the video. As of right now, the release of the video has been put on hold and they aren’t sure what to do with the video.
The Source goes on to reveal that although Alicia and Swizz Beatz announced their engagement in June, the two have been engaged for about 9 months. Both left their previous relationships to be with each other.
Interesting…. it’s all good to be in love, we get it.
But when people close to you start making their exit once one person enters your life, something needs to be examined. We won’t be surprised if this is the beginning of more changes in Keys life.
