Alicia Keys Allegedly Made Disparaging Comments About Angie Stone + Insider Reveals Secrets Behind Stone’s Tragic Passing
The music industry is no stranger to behind-the-scenes conflicts, hidden betrayals, and power plays that often remain out of public view.
However, recent revelations surrounding the late Angie Stone have brought forth some disturbing claims, including alleged disparaging remarks from Alicia Keys and shocking details regarding Stone’s struggles in the industry.
One of the biggest bombshells to emerge is that Alicia Keys reportedly made disrespectful comments about Angie Stone’s looks. According to an industry insider, Keys allegedly compared Stone to a gorilla, even going as far as mimicking the animal’s gestures.
This claim echoes a past controversy involving Basketball Wives’ Evelyn Lozada, who made a similar offensive comparison about OG Chijindu. If true, this accusation sheds light on an ugly side of the industry, where even talented and established artists like Angie Stone were subjected to body-shaming and mockery.
Angie Stone’s Exclusion from Oprah’s Neo-Soul Special
In addition to the alleged comments from Alicia Keys, Clive Davis reportedly blocked Angie Stone from appearing on Oprah Winfrey’s special on neo-soul music, citing her weight as the reason. The special featured major artists like Alicia Keys, Jill Scott, and India.Arie, all of whom Stone had helped discover.
Stone reportedly played a crucial role in identifying talent, sitting in on auditions that led to these artists being signed. Yet, when it was time for her to receive the same level of recognition, Davis deemed her “not marketable enough” due to her size.
This blatant discrimination reportedly devastated Stone, leaving her in tears for weeks. The rejection not only robbed her of a major career opportunity but also showcased how image often trumps talent in the music industry.
Shocking Industry Exploitation – The Fight for Her Publishing Rights
Beyond the public humiliation, Angie Stone faced financial exploitation throughout her career. Industry insider Stone Paxton, a member of Stone’s management and legal team, recently revealed the shocking extent of her struggles.
According to Paxton, Stone was unaware that much of her music catalog was not registered under her name. His team conducted an investigation into her missing royalties, only to discover that her publishing rights had been stolen, and several songs she had written were credited to other people.
Paxton further disclosed that Stone had been fighting for years to reclaim her earnings, often calling him multiple times a week to strategize legal action. To protect herself, Stone recorded phone calls with individuals involved in the alleged theft.
Paxton now possesses those recorded calls as evidence but has vowed not to release them publicly out of respect for Stone’s wishes.
Her Untimely Passing – What Really Happened?
Perhaps the most chilling part of Paxton’s revelation is his suggestion that he knows more about Stone’s fatal car accident than what has been publicly reported. He hinted at mysterious circumstances surrounding her passing but declined to provide details just yet.
Paxton also regretted that she was still touring at the time of her death, saying his team was just one week away from finalizing a Las Vegas residency for her.
Stone had expressed a deep desire to stop traveling due to her health issues, preferring the stability of a residency where she could perform in one place. Had this deal been finalized sooner, she wouldn’t have been on the road, and the accident may never have happened.
The Ongoing Industry Curse?
What makes these revelations even more unsettling is the eerie pattern of tragedies among female artists who worked with Clive Davis. From Janis Joplin to Phyllis Hyman, Whitney Houston, and now Angie Stone, many artists associated with Davis have suffered untimely deaths under mysterious circumstances.
While no concrete evidence links these cases, the recurring theme of industry exploitation, financial struggles, and tragic endings raises serious questions.
Final Thoughts – A Legacy Stolen?
Angie Stone’s contributions to music were undeniable, yet she was repeatedly overlooked, undermined, and financially robbed throughout her career. Whether it was being excluded from major platforms, mocked by peers, or cheated out of her earnings, her journey was riddled with challenges no artist should have to endure.
Even in her final years, she was still fighting legal battles for her rightful earnings. If not for people like Stone Paxton and his team, much of her missing money might have never come to light.
Paxton has promised to share more details in the near future, especially regarding the circumstances of her accident. Until then, fans and supporters must continue advocating for justice and making sure Angie Stone’s legacy is remembered with the respect it deserves.
