Alicia Keys: ‘Gangsta Rap’ Was A Ploy To Kill Black People

R&B superstar Alicia Keys has revealed that she believes “‘gangsta rap’ was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other.”
According to an interview in the May 2008 issue of Blender Magazine, The Grammy-Award winning singer said that the East Coast-West Coast feud between slain rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. was fueled “by the government and the media, to stop another great black leader from existing.”
Ms. Keys also said she’s read several Black Panther autobiographies and wears a gold AK-47 pendant around her neck “to symbolize strength, power and killing ‘em dead.”
And that’s not all; the multiplatinum songstress also revealed that she wants to write more political songs. She feels that if black leaders like the late Black Panther Huey Newton “had the outlets our musicians have today, it’d be global. I have to figure out a way to do it myself.”
Alicia’s conspiracy theories and AK-47 jewelry came as a big surprise to her mother, who is quoted as telling Blender magazine, “She wears what? That doesn’t sound like Alicia.”
