That shows that Alicia is a real friend, not an industry c***.
I know I’m going to hell for laughing when I seen Stevie Wonder on that last.
me too….we going down
If only all tax theifs got that kind of support -__-
Exactly !! Bet nobody would write us letters if we didn’t pay our taxes and were sent to jail. Alicia Keys would defend her, with her HOme wreckin ass.
Where are the big guns Jay-Z, Diddy, Wil Smith,Rihanna, Beyonce, Oprah. These people are making big money and could afford to help without putting a dent in their monies.
Why not send money and pay off what she owes? Duh!
Sam u ooooone shady b**** lol. U made SURE to put Stevie Wonder at the end so ppl would c it
what is wrong with Stevie? Confused?
Stevie is Lauryn Hill’s idol.
he also createst the GREATEST R&B Soul album of all time
he also was the only artist to win album of the year grammys 3 times in a row.
he also recvd the presidential honor award
he is also Obama’s favorite artist
do ur homework
created R&B’S GREATED album
Um, what exactly are they excusing? She dodged the system and got caught, if normal people cant get away with it why should she?
whatever…pay your bills LAURYN!
That probably made the judge even more certain that she deserves to go to jail. Some of us are poorer than she’ll ever be and dont have a host of celebrity friends.
Who cares. Why the f*** hasn’t Sam posted about xtinas new duet with Alejandro Fernandez. Xtina vocals slay the basic b****** even when she sings Spanish…
Alicia Key’s Baby
STEVIE WONDER ?!
😯
WTF did happen to my eyes ?
Of course the home wrecker would defend the fraud!
And what exactly did those letters say?
“Dear Judge, I know Ms. Hill made millions of dollars and didn’t pay her taxes but you see she’s a great artist and she makes beautiful music so please don’t lock her up”
Sorry, no sympathy. If you choose not to pay then be strong enough to accept your punishment. There’s 0 confusion here and all the mysterious talk from Lauryn doesn’t change anything.
stay strong lauryn!! we love you!
Lauryn is a idiot, she should have just paid her taxes. She made millions of dollars now her six kids wil be away from their mom.
lauryn will be ok, she is just “sick”. her fmily needs to step in to help her
