Soul singer Alicia Keys has given a bizarre interview to Blender magazine detailing her new conspiracy theories about ‘gangsta rap’.
The 27-year-old - sporting a new gold AK-47 pendant "to symbolize strength, power and killing 'em dead" - told her interviewer she believed Tupac Shakur and Nortorious B.I.G.’s murders were fuelled by the American government.
Keys, who revealed she’s been reading several Black Panther autobiographies, claimed Biggie and Tupac’s famous feud was in fact perpetuated "by the government and the media, to stop another great black leader from existing".
She continued, “’Gangsta rap' was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. 'Gangsta rap' didn't exist."
Sounds like Keys may be hankering to ditch her anodyne pop-soul.
