Alicia Keys’ Best Friend Erika Rose Speaks Of The Gay Rumors


Alicia Keys was pictured at the 2007 American Music Awards Press Room this past weekend.Erika Rose who is Keys’ longtime best friend ,former personal assistant,manager,and co-writer of ”A Woman’s Worth” explained why Alicia feels she needs to shield and protect herself.

”When we would walk down the street and she would get whistled at by men, she would get so bothered,” ”She forced herself into wearing baggy clothes and putting her hair in a bun. She would dress almost to be unattractive.”

Erika reveals that it is Keys tomboyish style that rumors of her being gay exist.But she insists that Keys has a man in her life .Rose says:

”She understands why people might’ve thought that,””She was a little rough around the edges with her Timberlands and jeans and braids and rough talk.” But Brothers is an undeniable presence. ”Clearly,””she has a man in her life.”

  5. well if she is happy been gay,go for it girl–i will certainly do yoy. you are so hotttttttttttt

  6. If Alicia is gay it is her business.If she ever comes out publically, it will be at her pace and when she is ready to share that with the world. She knows that some people are homophobic and I am sure she doesn’t want to deal with the negativism that would ensue if she came out. Get a life !!!!

  7. I dont give s*@t if she is gay or has a man in her life..as long as she is happy. I LOOOOOVE her! NO matter what she is very talented, beautiful and she is not a slut! She has not had to show skin or be a whore to get to where she is at, that is real talent! I love you Keys!

  8. i’ve experience the same criticism in High Skool. Cuz i was a tom boy and i don’t give a s#!t wat other people thought of my style. An so rumors would go around that i’m gay but my friend would back me up an say to those that ask dat question or thought me to be that i’m not. And to make it even WORSE my Sister was a Lesbo so dat made it seem even more true but i got much love 4 my sis an nothing can tar us apart . But she move away though when off to another state an we went to different high skool after that ( becuz of family issues an money ) . but i’m now i’m out of high skool an geting better with the lady side of me getting compliments everyday call it my lady Swagg. lol Love ya A-Key Flaunt Wat YOU GOT GURL an Flaunt wat u want u look good in every light

  9. I think it is obvious that Alycia is Gay. The explination that she dressed masculine because men were whistling at her is stupid. What adult woman deals with men whistling at her by dressing masculine. makes no sense. to say she has a man is a laugh. She is an adult. Why has she never appeared at any awards show or been pictured with a man at dinner, drinks, etc. Why hide the man if there is no. This is a free country. Having a man is not a crime. But is she wants to play that game, so what. But, trust me, its a game.

  10. I have to agree with the presentable evidence in this matter, as previously stated, she has never been seen at any event with a man and I’m sure the press would like be the first to catch this mystery man. By the same token however, If she were carpet munching who is this mystery woman? Obviously she can’t be seen hanging out with the same chick all the time or the rumors would really be flying. So the real question is how does she do it whether it’s male or female? What successful celeb doesn’t have someone special, but in her case it would have to be a nobody or it would be even harder to stay under the radar. The bottom line is that sneaking around with a man would be much harder for her to do than if she had a woman that she could be seen with in public just not that often. Lastly, didn’t she play a gay assassin in the movie Smokin Aces? Coincidence you think?

  11. I’ve always thought alicia was gay. I know how the game is played I played it with my family so noone would know but yes it could be bad for her career if she comes out..not everyone is open to that so even if she is or isn’t its really not a big deal.and the girl posted earlier Britney washington? It has nothin to do with bein lightskinned that guys hit on u or try an change u…I’m carmel colored and a stud an guys hit on me all the time and always sayin they wanna ‘change’me so ur reasoning don’t hold water..and by people sayn she’s gay is not ‘hatin’ cuz she’s lightskinned…

  12. Do u thang gurl, i used to b a tomboy also wether she is gay or not i wish she could cum to Nigeria she rocks my world

  13. sorry this is a message to Johnson you are a sick person who really needs to get a life, i do understand that everyone has their own views on life but come on that comment is ridiculous.. what if one of your children was gay would you disown them.. sad sad person.. and on the subject on whether she is gay or not she rocks.. fantastic voice..

  14. It’s VERY late but I’m writing in to say – before you all write comments, try reading it through and correct your grammar. You all look like dim wits…

  15. I think that Johnson, you really need to look at how you are living your life, it is people like you that cause wars and protests. Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Transgendered, it doesn’t really matter, it’s the person themselves that matters.

    On another note, before people post comments they should read through before they submit bad grammar. You make yourselves look ridiculous, who is going to take you seriously if you can’t even write/type properly.

    Back to the point, Alecia Keys, gay or not, that is her personal life and she shouldn’t have to go through the grief of it being all over the internet and have rude/offensive comments and accusations made about her.

    She is a brilliant singer. Period.

  16. Think about the lyrics in the song,no one,no one can make me feel the way u do.come on now! people talk about us, they can say what they will,why would people complain about a beautiful woman like her with a man?

  17. Pple like to judge too much and say wat they don’t know.Its only wen pple do the same thing to you that you realise how painful it is. I believe we stay out of Alicias’ buisness and mind our own.

  18. whether alicia is gay or not i still love her as well as her music.

  19. Alicia key gay or not as long as you are happy wit ur self, just know wat u do people must talk. One love

  20. If she is gay..so what! She is still a beautiful woman, inside and out! That is what counts. It’s really none of our business folks!

  21. well honestly shes just as gay as justin bieber … so shes really not gay sooo any way who really cares its her life style not yours soo who cares anyway besides we cant controll her thoughts or felling.

  22. Well I would agree with few people on “Who cares? we like Alica Keys”. I hate when people looks to put labels on it.. Aw fuck it.. just let it flow!
