“Pimpin” is probably too strong of a word…but he’s definitely taking control of her career and the people around her. I’m not sure if it’s love or jealousy…or both.
The New York Post wrote a story last week which claimed that Alicia Keys had been ripped off by her manager of 15 years, Jeff Robinson.
The paper’s sources claimed that Robinson had been taking 25% commission and above 33% during the early stages of her career, when the norm is between 15 – 20%.
The source said: “Swizz Beatz definitely played a huge part in killing him off. She got smart — and got a smart boyfriend — after years of people around her telling her she was crazy to let this continue to happen.”
But apparently Keys’s reps have said that the story has no truth in it. They said: “That story is 100% false. Jeff Robinson was like a father figure to Alicia Keys. They never had a contract. It was a huge deal because Jeff loves her like she was his own kid! This whole article reeks of damage control and its obvious. How can you rip someone off when you don’t have a contract and they can walk away whenever they want?”
