Since Lisa ''Left Eye'' Lopes' death, talk is circulating about the TLC singer's rocky relationship with Arista chief Antonio ''L.A.'' Reid. Though Reid said he saw her as ''a daughter'' in a statement, a source close to Lopes says the singer was miffed with Reid over her 2001 solo CD Supernova, which was released only internationally. ''The last payment for delivery of that record was never made to Lisa,'' says our source. ''She had notified them they were in material breach of her solo recording contract.... L.A. Reid [did not return] a single phone call to Lisa in the last six months.'' An Arista rep denied the charges. Meanwhile, Rozonda ''Chilli'' Thomas and Tionne ''T-Boz'' Watkins are still at work on the fourth TLC album. The label is mum on a release date; ditto for the greatest-hits set and Supernova.
