Sultry, R&B artist Alicia Keys made her boyfriend wait a year to have sex with her.

The singer has rarely spoken about her relationship with boyfriend Kerry "Krucial" Brothers until now.

According to StarPulse.com and Sister2Sister magazine, Alicia said, "I made him wait a year because my body is too beautiful to be violated by someone who doesn't deserve it."

The songwriter had a major hit single with "Fallin" in 2001, but has been kept out of the limelight in recent years.
