Alicia Keys feuding with Lupe Fiasco?
By Marcell Minaya, Entertainment Reporter



Alicia Keys is reportedly upset that Lupe Fiasco used one of her unreleased songs without her consent.

The R&B superstar, who collaborated with the rapper on a song, entitled 'Letter To The Beat', previously recorded a song with Chad from the Neptunes for her 2007 album As I Am.

According to All Hip Hop, the track was never finished and was meant to be used at a later time but Chad gave the vocals and the beat to Fiasco without Keys's consent.

Reports claim that Fiasco's use of the original Keys song has infuriated the singer.

Keys's longtime music engineer Ann Mincieli revealed her disappointment with Fiasco's decision to use the song, on Twitter.

Mincieli wrote: "When you get leaked that hard illegally its REVENGE. In All my years in this Industry, I never saw someone be so DISRESPECTFUL.... @lupefiasco. I just want to teach people ONE LESSON.... DONT LEAK SOMEONE's HARD WORK (sic)."

Lupe raps so well, this news doesn't even bother me. lol

As long as he gives her credit, it's no problem in my opinion. shrug Besides, he didn't steal the beat, its creator (Chad) gave it to him. hmmm

They're probably more upset by the fact that he eliminated the elements of a coma more than the leaking itself.

Can people stop posting there nonsense on Twitter, im tired of hearinng this kind of Bull being reported by "news outlets" taking something like Twitter seeriously, who cares, i mean really, be honest, its not like Lupe gets play on any radio or video station they are too busy playing bullshit rap and rb to get with Lupe so this track will be heard by about as many as buy a full cd of FLO-RIDA.

She should be kissing the muthafukka's feet. It's the most attention she's gotten since she was letting Usher sniff her butt.

The sample sounds familiar.. as always Lupes flow is immaculate
At this point in history, we have a choice to make
To either, walk the path of love, or be crippled by our hate

Sounds to me like her feud should really be with Chad of the Neptunes and not Lupe. But whatever it is, I'm sure he's going to make it hott.
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

Shouldn't she be mad at Chad for this? Lupe wouldn't have any type of access to this track if it wasn't for Chad giving it to him. Hell at least be mad at both of them. rolleyes
