The suit alleges that a Long Island car dealership owner Macky Dancy leased cars to Beatz  “for use for him and his wife Alicia Keys,” only for Beatz to later re-lease them at higher rates of up to $7,000 per month.

Metro Gem claims that Beatz and Darcy conspired to mark up the prices of the leased vehicles to unsuspecting third parties. It’s said that Beatz has allegedly leased out 10 cars in the last four years from Metro Gem, including a Bentley Continental and a Ferrari F12

When approached one of Swizz Beatz’s representatives claim that Swizz and Darcy “are innocent pawns in a years-long, multi-million dollar dispute.”

Well let’s hope this clears up really quickly!
