Mashonda (Swizz Beatz’s wife) took to Twitter to vent about the alleged affair going on between Swizz Beatz and Alica Keys. Check out an excerpt of the tweet below:
After having a great evening with my son and enjoying some fun twit chat, I decided to sign off and get some work done. However, a few hours later I was advised that I should check @aliciakeys twit page. I’ve never reached out to her on twitter before. I feel our issues are a lot more serious than a website conversation. Not to mention that I’ve reached out to her many times in the beginning of this whole thing, as any wife would do. Unfortunately, I never succeeded in getting a response. The 1st time I meet AK, my husband introduced us to each other at an event. ( I have no choice but to call him my husband, until he is not anymore) In the messages that I sent to her (AK), I made it very clear that on the contrary of what she might be hearing, I am still married to my husband, living with him and just had a child. Its been two years and I still have not received a response. What I do receive, is constant displays of selfishness and disconcern to me and my son.
Read more inside!
I was a fan of AK’s last album, we were both signed to J Records and I always checked up on her projects. I sang her songs and admired her for creating Superwoman and Karma, I would never deny her, her talent. I believed in her until I found out she was possibly sleeping with my husband. The affair was denied by both, until it was finally admitted months later.
Already I can hear some of you saying ” why are u blaming her, You cant make someone leave their wife, You cant break something thats broken”. Well, my marriage was not broken, as far as I knew we were celebrating our sons birth and getting ready to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary . Call it blind love, whatever. I call it being a devoted wife.. As far as me blaming her and not blaming him, thats false. Me and my husband have worked out our differences. We are in a good place as people and as parents. I accept his choices and I am comfortable enough with myself to move on. I am so very blessed in many ways.
My concern with AK is no longer the fact that she assisted in destroying a family but that she has the audacity to make these selfish comments about love and wanting to be with someone, even after knowing their situation. How is this the same Superwoman that I sang out loud with in my truck? I ask myself sometimes.
If you are reading this Alicia, let me start by saying, you know what you did. You know the role you played and you know how you contributed to the ending of my marriage. You know that I asked you to step back and let me handle my family issues. Issues that you helped to create.
Im not saying everything was perfect all the time but no relationship is perfect. We made a vow to God and I believe you should have respected that, as a woman. I know you owe me or my son nothing but I just wish you would’ve handled things more carefully. I’m not judging you, I put you and the whole situation in the hands of God, the Higher Power. Just know that as a woman, I expected so much more from you. I never had intentions on reaching out to you this way but after reading your twits tonight, and the constant disregard, you left me no choice. I feel that after 1 and a half years of you hiding this affair and acting like it doesnt exist, that now is the time to confront it, since you talk so openly about it now
This is not a publicity stunt, I dont have a record coming out. I just need to close this chapter in my life and that means confronting our issues. There is a small child involved. His dad loves him to death and he wants to spend more time with him but hes afraid because he knows we don’t have a relationship. This is my main concern. My son NEEDS his dad and I NEED to be comfortable with you. For him!
I know many will see my point and many will not be able to look into what’s real because they only want to see Alicia Keys the celebrity, not the human. This is not for the “people”, this is for you. Like I said I was left no choice but to reach out to you this way. By now, Im sure you want to find a balance in this as well.
I read your tweets tonight and I felt they were very insensitive. You have no idea how much pain I was caused because of this affair. Its baffling to me that you don’t understand what I might have gone through with this situation. I dont consider myself a victim anymore, Ive learned alot from this! I just ask you to try and be a bit more realistic and delicate to the situation, at least until my divorce is final. I felt me attending the party would have been a starting point for us, since you shook my hand after I offered it, but I suppose I was wrong.
If its so, that you and my husband are meant to be together, then God bless you both and I hope you never have to deal with what I did. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. If you two being together forever is the case, its more of a reason for us to get along, because I’m not going anywhere. Theres a child to be raised.
To answer your tweet, choose smart over spark. Sparks burn everyone, be smart! Its simple actually, just think of the shoe being on the other foot.
Stay blessed and lets work this thing out with respect and dignity.
That’s probably the longest twitter entry we’ve ever seen…..
{ 66 comments… read them below or add one }
Wow Alicia. Just wow.
idk if its wow to alicia. what kind of friend tells her to check out the page knowing its going to cause nothing but pain… obviously there are feelings still there.
Keep your head up Mashonda!
May GOD bless all the parties involved
Just for the sake of lil man
That was so classy, she coulda been stereotypical and angry but she was calm and made her point. You gotta respect that. She’ll find what’s meant for her b/c she’s a lady!
damn AK went in hard it seems toward Mashonda shit i didnt know Mashonda was still with Swizzy and was married. In the end though I don’t care lol not my life and as long as AK keeps making good music no one else will …..that’s life
and i know tyis was Mashonda talking about AK I was just saying that AK was kind of messed up for if she in fact did break up there marriage
but why put it out for the world to see I just thought about that ……..how is this classy
shonda is handlin da situation very maturely. I just wonder y ppl arent callin ak a homewrecker or triflin chick etc as dey hv n continue to do with rosci frm 106? Ak shud no dat da way u get a man is da same way ull keep him. N da is as a cheater
WOMP!
I feel sorry 4 her and I think that she said the right things! probably he’ll meet another girl and she’ll end up like just his wife..I hope so. why don’t they admit that they have a relationship, she’s always saying that they are friends, she should more sincere and less fake
Mashonda ,
My dear your Husband is who destroyed your family not Alicia. Both of you and your husband contributed to your marriage falling apart.Some where along those five years you saw this coming and no matter how hard you tried you couldn’t stop this from happening.The one thing you need to do is to let go and come to terms with it, which you cannot seem to do no matter how hard you try.That much I can tell from reading your long script.Why are you looking for answers or some form of justice from AK, you are not going to get it. And trying to call her out and making her look like a home wrecker is not going to help you either. Girl you win some and then you loose some.And surely you have lost this one, if you truely love your son and respect your family stop venting your hurt out in public , Take the high road and leave AK it’s not her fault .If she had turn your husband down it would have been some other woman he would have left you for.What would you do then put her on blast to. Give it a rest and get some counciling ,for your inner anger cause that’s not good for you when your raising a son.Next thing you know is you will be venting that anger towards him as well. I wish you all the best and opefully you will find true love, peace and Happyness again.
Shut the hell up, you don’t know what you’re talking about. When it comes to men there’s no pussy like NEW pussy, and new pussy that’s a celebrity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes Alicia should have respected their marriage if she had a decency for herself and I pray that she gets the opportunity to feel and experience what Mashonda is going through. Karma is bitch!
Well stated. You should find some way of sending this directly to her. Everyone wants to play the victim in the court of public opinion, but the reality is that the only two people who know what REALLY went down in that marriage are Mashinda Iand Swizzy. And clearly somethinf DID go down, or they would still be together. Okay, he wants to be with someone new–that has nothing to do with Mashonda. At this point, he could want to be with a goat and it shouldn’t matter because he has already told and shown her that he doesn’t want to be with her. I’m not being insensitive–believe me I understand the pain of losing someone you love and the feelings of abandonment and rejection that come along with that. But lets be real folks, it’s not AK’s responsibility to help Mashonda deal with those difficult emotions. The fact is that his eyes and his heart were wandering and if it wasn’t AK, it would’ve been someone else, then someone else, then someone else. Men tend to move on emotionally before they do so physically, so chances are that it was over before he actually walked away. And somewhere deep inside, Mashonda knows that, and knows that she played a role, however small, in the relationship’s deterioration–there are ALWAYS two sides to a story. He has moved on, and she clearly hasn’t. Why would she still refer to Swizzy as her husband? The legalities mean NOTHING if emotionally he has attached himself to someone else! If either AK or Swiss Beats did her wrong as he detached himself from Mashonda, then karma or ‘the universe’ will take care of that. Again, she’s trying to deliver justice or feel like justice has been served in a situation where she is clearly the loser. The only thing she could’ve done was walked away with dignity, but alas, she threw that out of the window and made herself look like a desperate fool with this lovely letter…
Who evee wrote the previous response is a fuckin
idiot
WELL SAID!!!!!!
People are killing me with the whole bash Alicia Keys thing. She hasn’t said anything (to my knowledge) in public about this situation. So to call her a home wrecker is judgmental.
I so appreciate your comment. The dissolution of a marriage is heartbreak enough. What kind of friend does Mashonda have to call her and tell her to check Alicia’s twits?? Come on ma. You are not helping.
You sound like a fool saying Alicia Keys did not assist in destroying this family! Adultry digs deep into the soul and yes, the Bible talks about the adultress woman. Any time you get with someone else husband or wife it’s called ADULTRY. If this is Mashonda way of letting go, let her express it. Maybe you wouldn’t do it this way, or perhaps I wouldn’t but this is how she chooses to finalize things. “Girl you win some and then you lose (not loose) some,” What in the hell are you talking about. This is a marriage not a damn football game. For better for worse! Bottom line, a marriage is a sacred vow between two people and God, so as long as they are married, anyone who gets with Mashonda or Switz is committing adultry. Alicia Keys is an adulterous woman!
You’re kidding right?
The best advice I can give you is to move on. Your tweeting (or any other channels) aint changing the situation. I’ve seen what can happen to women/men that don’t move on.
Have a nice one.
yes, very well written. Personally not sure if tweeting is the best move; but hehe i privately enjoyed…
I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU GUY BUT I’VE KNOWN ALICIA DID THIS FOR A AND A HALF. THAT’S WHY I REALLY JUST DON’T LIKE HER, THE LAST ALBUM WAS FILLED WITH JUST LIES DUDE. ALSO IT’S SADDER BECAUSE HER DEAD BEAT ASS DADDY LEFT HER FAMILY FOR ANOTHER WOMAN.
You would think she wouldn’t want to put another child or woman through the same experience but my how quickly we forget when we are on TOP!
What world are you living in ??. This has nothing to do with being a celebrity. Lets deal with the facts and the real world.
Man/Woman is not perfect, and no matter how new the pussy is if he really wanted to be with her and his family, he would have cheated maybe but not leave her.
2) Mashonda pussy can be that good cause he would of never left her in the first place, he might have fuck AK , but he would have come right back home. Any honest man or woman would tell you this if the dick/pussy is really good, they might cheat on the other person but at the end of the day they will be coming right back home the the good loving.We as human not matter how hard we try sometimes we get the urge to try something new, and according to your statement there is nothing like new pussy, but new pussy doesnt stay new forever.
My point is this; if Mashonda is all that good of a wife (mind, Body & soul) he would not think twice about staying and making their marriage work.There is alot to this story that we haven’t heard and I believe strongly the she as well contributed to their marriage falling apart.You can make a person stay if they do want to no matter how hard you try. It’s not rocket science my dear .You sound like a bitter woman, may is suggest some counceling for you too. Let go and let if flow.
@ NYA you sound so fkn stupid and typical. You just make me want to say ick… its not about what a person has between their legs genious, its about basic respect. AK is dead wrong for what she did…You simply don’t touch a married man. No if and or buts about it. Swiss is equally as wrong and is now family-less for what he did. He will have to deal with what he did when he has to admit it to his own son later on. That is a jagged little pill…
NYA it sounds like you are the type to just take a cheater and make a husband out of him…. there are good men in this world who won’t and couldn’t do this type of thing…maybe you ought to look into finding one…
what exactly did alicia say?
MASHONDA > ALICIA KEYS
mashonda is brave for doing this. although i dont understand why she would post it to the world to see i do understand that she just wants AK to know how she feels. its hard to never say what you really want to, if you keep them bunched inside well then youll never truly be able to move on. mashonda put her words in a very civilized manner and showed no disrespect and for that i admire her cuz i know if that was my ass i woulda flipped on a bitch. AK should have known better, no woman should ever get involved w/ a married man even if they claim to be moving on and not in love anymore, it just isnt right on any part no matter the circumstances.
stay strong girl! AK…im very disappointed, i always found you a well respected and classy lady and although love may be blind i find this type of character disgusting
she did the NEW THING 2010 EVERYONE TWEETS FACEBOOKS ETC. AND I LOVEEE IT!!!! ALICIA IS A HOMEWRCKER BUT I THOUGHT SHE WAS GAY? AND MOSHANDA VENT HOWEVER YOUR FEEL LET THE WORLD KNOW OF THAT TRIFFLIN BITCH, OH AND ALICIA YOUR NEW SINGLE SUCKS SWIZZS SWEATY BALLS. *LMAOOOO* _ ITS YA GIRL CHOCOLATE~ MUAH
@ Chocolate….PREACH!!!!!
Something is truly wrong with most of the post on here? At what point is it Alicia Keys fault? Was it when swizz beats decided to break HIS marriage vows by sticking his d*** in another woman? or was it when he lied to Alicia about his situation, because I am sure he did not say “hey alicia I am happily married and we have a baby on the way but I really like you so let’s get together. Come on everybody. wise up. Especially us women. My mother always taught me that you can’t stop what’s going to happen. You can’t stop a man from sleeping with another woman either. “NYA” seems to be the only smart person on here. How in the hell do you ask a woman to stop sleeping with your husband???? That is freaking stupid. If you want to work on your marriage you ask your HUSBAND to stop sleeping with the woman. That is who you are married to. If not Alicia, then it would have been another woman whether she is a celebrity or not. I would always expect my husband to respect me and our marriage and nobody else because at the end of the day i could kill the bi*** that he is sleeping with but please believe that he will find another.
It became her fault too the minute she let a MARRIED man that she KNEW was married between her decrepit thighs…. thats when…. And any other subsequent woman it might have been is still trif if she knows the man she touches is married…Why do women always want to escape the guilt?? You are just as dirty as the one who is married if you knowingly sleep with a married man. Maybe you “women” who don’t think she is at fault too are the ones we good women have to watch out for..No GOOD woman would do that to another woman or family…Just trif…fkn trif….
Sweetsay, NYA – thank you. I thought I was the only one. Mashonda needs to blame herself and her husband for whatever happened. Imagine me calling another man to ask him to stop screwing my wife!!??! WTF??
Why?? She just had the man’s baby and agreed to be his wife… No woman MAKES a man cheat… He choses to do it on his own and any woman who allows the advancement of a married man that she knows is married is just as nasty as he is… now i see why its so easy for men to cheat…you nasty ass women who want no blam in the matter make it possible…A round of applause for all you triflin HOLES out there….
there are always 2sides to the story…. one side is out. hope to see the other side.
I’m glad mashonda let us knw how nasty alicia keys is I don’t think I will ever look at her the same. Shonda keep ya head up and I’m sure swizz nasty ass will see that he left his 80% for 20% (tyler perry movie) and yall take care of lil man! Its more men that will appreciate you out there. Ex man to the next man LOL.
NO NOT ALICIA’S FAULT.. IF A MAN WANT’S YOU NOTHING CAN MAKE HIM LEAVE AND IF A MAN DOESN’T WANT YOU NOTHING CAN MAKE HIM STAY..NOT EVEN A CHILD.. THAT’S LIFE
True life. However, just because I am a woman and a lady I would never sink to dealing with a married man. That is a sanctity set forth by those individuals and God and the price you pay for interferring with God’s work is brutal. I’d never be scared of another woman. I’d be scared of my God and his wrath!
AMEN Melly!!
i think this is a bunch of bullshit i dnt think akeys wud do sum shit like dat if she did fuck im wrong but they werent married n their relationship was tearing apart i cant blame swissy 4 catching feelings wat akeys got 2 say alicia keys has always been the type 2 talk about love she jus mad cuz her man aint love wit her no more get the fuck on man
FIRST OF ALL MASHONDA I KNO U R HURTING BUT MOVE ON ALREADY ! U KEEP BLAMIN A.KEYS BUT CLEARLY UR HUSBAND DID’NT WANNA BE WITH U IF WENT ON TO ANOTHER WOMAN. AS FAR AS A.KEYS KNOWS U ND SWISS WERE A DONE DEAL ND U WERE JUST STILL HOPIN ND LINGERING ON. WE DON’T KNO ENUFF TO CALL ALICIA A HOMEWRECKER, JUST CUZ MASHONDA KEEPS TALKING. ND SMASHONDA MENTIONED SOMETHIN ABOUT AN ALBUM, WELL EVEN IF U HAD 1 NO ONE WAS CHECKIN FOR IT. DON’T THROW SALT AT ALICIA FOR SWISS WANTING TO MOVE ON, IF HE WAS WORKINGG THINGS OUT THEN HE WOULD STILL BE WITH MASHONDA NOW. MASHONDA KNEW THAT IT WAS A WRAP, BUT SHE’S TRYIN TO PLAY THE VICTIM OUT OF SPITE ND BEING HURT. I WISH HER THE ABSOLUTE BEST. BUT ULTIMATELY IF UR HUSBAND WANTED A DIVORCE THAT IS WHAT IT IS. ND I THINK SHE WENT ON TWITTER TO BRING AWARENESS TO THE ISSUE, SHE WANTED TO TRY ND MAKE ALICIA HURT BCUZ SHE IS. N A WAY I FEEL LIKE ALICIA SHUD TALK ABOUT IT, BUT THEN TOO SHE DOES’NT HAVE TO IT’S HER DAMN BIZNESS. ND BY THE WAY ALICIA’S TWEET DID’NT HAVE SHYT TO DO WITH MASHONDA, MASHONDA WAS JUST LOOKIN FOR A CHANCE TO VENT WHICH SHE CLEARLY IS DOIN, ND BY THE WAY EVEN IF ALICIA WAS’NT WITH SWISS NOW THERES NO GUARANTEE HE WUDD STILL BE WITH U. WISH U THE BEST MASHONDA !!!
Then why get married if he didn’t want her??? Why stoop to such a level if you are a “good” man who just wants something different…Why not just be right and divorce her first… BECAUSE HE IS TRIFLIN!!!
Wow, I felt so sorry for her reading this. All parties involved are at fault. So she might be directing this to Alicia Keys, and she’s not saying that the soon to be ex-hubby is not at fault, she’s in the middle of a divorce, she’s just saying that perhaps AK can acknowledge the not so pretty truth that she ALSO played a part in this too. I can’t imagine what it’s like to going through a rough patch with your partner and then there be a 3rd party who doesn’t have your best interests at heart. She is right in saying there’s a child involved who isn’t going to go away, and AK can’t pretend forever that this person (Swizz Beats) didn’t have a life before they hooked up. I don’t think AK’s tweet warranted such a response, but I think Mashonda is hurting and she must just let it out and eventually she’ll have the strength to move on and one day be able to laugh about the long tweet. We are all human and sometimes we hurt each other, even celebrities it seems. Love, light and laughter for all.
there is nothing like two sides here. if there was a problem in their marriage Swizz had no right whatsoever to cheat with AK. He took a vow b4 God. this is the problem with marriage these days. people don’t understand what those vows mean. they go in with the mindset that if it doesn’t work out they can easily get a divorce. that right there is already a path to destruction in your marriage and for the fact that a kid is involved, that child does not deserve to grow up in a broken home. So now tell me what he is going to teach his children when he grows up?
Shame on you Alicia…I’ve lost so much respect or you. You could’ve had any man you wanted. Why a married one? That shows that you have low self respect and self worth. I don’t care how empowering your music is…you must be a sad lonely woman deep inside. You need to seek some therapy and get down to the root of your issues.
Mashonda: Sometimes things fall apart. Who knows why. You may not ever get an explanation. Its hard in the streets. Swizz and you share a son. That’s all that counts. Work out your issues as well as you can and let your lawyers iron out the details.
I feel so bad for Mashonda…I cant but have every reason to look at Alicia Keys Differently… I am TOTALLY against in pursuing a relationship with a man that is Married. I know shes hurting i wish everyone would stop being so insensitive…What if that was your sister, ur aunty, ur friend…..MASHONDA…im sorry u are going thru this and like SweetSapphire stated..i really hope and Pray Alicia gets to feel the very pain she put U(Mashonda)thru….i HOPE n wish she gets to feel heartache and pain….now im Bitter…fuck
I’m praying for all Parties. I’ve met Swizzy (& worked with him), Mashonda, their son & AK… All are wonderful people. We all make mistakes in life when we loose sight of Jesus. “He who is without sin cast the 1st stone”. My advise for anyone who cares to comment randomly is, say a prayer for everyone thats involved…. It won’t hurt..
SEE THATS THE PROBLEM YALL R ATTACKING ALICIA, WHEN YALL DONT KNOW THE STORY. IT IS NOT ALICIA’S JOB TO TALK TO MASHONDA PERSONALLY ABOUT HER BROKEN MARRIAGE. I KNOW IT’S HARD FOR MASHONDA ND I DO FEEL FOR HER CUZ SHE PROBABLY STILL LOVEZ SWISS, BUT SHE LOOKS AT ALICIA, ND ALICIA HAS THE TOTAL PACKAGE, SHE HAS IT ALL. MASHONDA KNOWS THAT SHE JUST SIMPLY CAN’T TOP ALL OF THAT AS A WHOLE. ALSO SWISS IS THE MAN IN THIS RELATIONSHIP, SO HE DECIDED TO DO THIS ND NOT ALICIA. STOP BLAMING HER. SHE DID’NT MAKE SWISS DO ANY DAMN THING. IF THEY WERE WORKING THINGS OUT THEN HE WOULD’NT BE WITH ALICIA NOW POINT BLANK. MASHONDA ALSO GOT USED TO BEING SPOILED ND TAKEN CARE OF ND SHE MAY BE AFRAID THAT THAT IS’NT GONNA HAPPEN ANY LONGER !!
ON ANOTHER NOTE HOW THE HELL DO U TWEET SUMTHIN THAT DAMN LONG? LOL !!! BEST WISHES TO ALL OF THEM !!!
OH ND MASHONDA U R A NICE LOOKIN GIRL TO URSELF, WHEN I SAID TOTAL PACKAGE I MEANT THE WHOLE BIG CELEBRITY PART OF IT !
Nya & Sweetsay: Thank you
It’s women like Mashonda that make our fore Mothers roll in their graves. Women of today need to love themsleves first. When my father left and went out with his women, do you think my mother sat and wrote a letter an published it for the world to see. She got down on her knees and prayed, and asked god for the strength and faith to deal with the situation and move on. She cried yeah , I remember hearing her Ball with tears one morning, But you know what my mum didn’t take this out on the other woman.She dealt with my dad and let him know how she felt and if he wanted to leave he can leave.My point is this, there are women out there who have been through the same thing even worst , cause their husbands don’t have the money that yours have or they don’t even live the type of lifestyle that you have .For goodness sake some husbands left and won’t even support the their kids,.You probably wont experiance this, but have some dignity girl stop making a fool of your self , get rid of those freinds you have that keeping scraping your cut and look for ones that will help you heal. No good friend of mine would call me and keep me up to date with the other womans every move , that call stalking and harrassing. I pray that you get the strength some day to move on because right now you are making a bad situation worse and not only that you’ve now made it public for the world to see.
So basically…every man is open season regardless if he is married or not? Woman don’t have any role in respecting each other right? So the woman who your dad cheated with should never have to even so much as think about what pain she caused another woman, when all she had to do was wait for him to divorce his wife before adding to the problem…. wow… amazing… woman and the way they think never ceases to amaze me. Did you ever stop to think that how your mom handled that situation has you believing the way you presently do? That the other woman is never to be a part of the mess she helped to create… that woman should have had the balls to at least apologize for her total disregard of your dads family…..
Call me crazy but I didnt see any of the things that everybody else read. what i got from this is that she has accepted the fact & is now trying to establish some sort of relationship/comfort level with her. This is understandable & makes sense cause they have a small child. I personally would not feel comfortable sending my son 2 b around someone that has contributed (no matter how big or small) to my marriage ending & she has the nerve 2 throw her (Mashonda) shade. I dont see any blaming or hood cattiness going on here. She mentioned tryna reach out with no response so she prolly felt this was the best way 2 @ least let her know how she feels. However regardless of what role she played this has forever changed my perception of AK
Exactly!
All I can say is Alicia will feel the pain later on. Everyone is saying how she has nothing to do with Swizzy leaving Mashonda. Yes the hell she does. Even if she knew Swizzy and Mashonda were on the verge of getting a divorce, she shoulda let them resolve their differences first. Remember this Alicia. you will always be a woman first before anyone’s girlfriend or lover. I totally understand where Mashonda is coming from. Swizzy is definitely now innocent! A Keys, God don’t like ugly and He don’t like pretty either…..Karma is a Motherf%#er….you of all people should know!!!!!
Im not going to entertain this.
Mashonda, correctly did say things in a respectful manner However its oblivious to post a long ass story line on TWITTER. Especially for your son to read when he gets older.
Swizz could of easily gave Mashonda a call and put AK on the phone for a mature convo.lmao Closing the chapters is what she supposely did but you dont close a chapter whether or not you have an album coming out or not.
You simply close the chapter with your marriage and hope you create a good atmosphere for your child sake.
Besides no one knows AK and Swizz Beatz relationship IN and OUT. We speculate and we hear rumors. You still dont know. They could simply be dating. Which is nothing wrong with that. WHO CARES sorry. I dont care that Mashonda wrote all that non sense. “I was in my car listening to her SUPERWOMAN.” Oh please. you already made yourself the victim when u posted that on a damn twitter. YOU LATE MASHONDA. UGH you disgust me.
And this takes away nothing from AK and her artistry and im not even a STAN of AK but talk to your ex soon to be husband.
I think Alicia Keys is wrong on many levels. She’s wrong for messing with a married man and she’s even more wrong for her public displays of affection towards Swizz. Even if she didn’t respect their vow of marriage when she first slept with him she should have understood her role as the “other woman” and not have been publicly flaunting the relationship until after their divorce was finalized. I don’t blame Alicia for ruining their marriage but I blame her for rubbing it in Mashonda’s face. I remember a few months back when she introduced Swizz at an event as the love of her life or something to that effect, then the pictures together, going to events as a couple, the subliminal tweets, etc., all of these things are totally unnecessary, if Alicia is as confident as her music suggests she wouldn’t feel the need to do these things. If Swizz and Alicia are really so in love and planning to spend the rest of their lives together then they’ll be time for that when the divorce is settled until then she should have played her role as the “other woman”. As the “other woman” Alicia should’ve just enjoyed Swizz’s company in private and kept their relationship on the low. I’m sure this wasn’t the first time Swizz cheated and maybe Mashonda, for the sake of their marriage, was willing to look the other way and ignore it until Alicia made sure she couldn’t ignore it and made it public.
I can only imagine how Mashonda feels, sitting at home taking care of their child while her husband is out with the next bitch (be it Alicia or whoever) that’s bad in itself but then when that bitch is making it public for the whole world to see, it just adds salt to the wound.
I think Mashonda has shown at lot of class and dignity in a very trying and emotional period of her and her son’s life. She could be on the Wendy Williams show or any magazine cover right now putting them both on blast but she’s not. She could be in the studio putting together a whole album based on this saga and use this as promotion for it but she isn’t. She’s at home being a mother to their child. I think Alicia can learn a thing or two about class and how to be a “Superwoman” from Mashonda.
At the end of the day Mashonda is home raising her son, while Swizz is out with the next bitch, partying and having a grand old time. It’s wrong.
Mashonda = Superwoman
Swizz Beatz = unresponsible, selfish boy
Alicia Keys = the other woman
Mashonda > Swizz Beatz + Alicia Keys
I read through most of the comments and it seems as a society we have forgotten what our standards and measures should be. Don’t compare yourself or your situation to what the world does, but to what the word says.
“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate”. Mark 10:7-9
… “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.” Mark 10:10-12
Let us find our way back and start teaching our children the right way so that they don’t justify wrong, but know what is right.
best words i have read. people r forgetting the whole meaning of marriage and forgetting to see that there is GOD involved in those vows they make.
It’s not alright to step outside of your marriage knowing that you promised to love and respect the one you married. It’s not right to step outside of your family, knowing that your woman is holding it down for you and your shorty.
Men always heed the wild call of the dyck. Family and children be damned!
Ain’t that the way of the Black man? Not ashamed to abandon the family ship—-to let them drown, sink or swim for themselves.
Black woman have a long history of being the only captains of the ship as far as the Black community is concerned. We stay and tend our beautiful black seedlings; raise them, love them, educate them, nurture them. Even when you go into the house of the Lord, who do you see: Masses of brave and strong Black women, asking the Lord for one more day to hold on.
Black men care nothing about their reputations as being the earthquakes that destroy a home and a community—-decade, after decade, after decade.
The few Black men left in the community terrorize it.
It’s time we got behind other women and support them for all of the heavy lifting they are left behind to do. So, women stop siding with the destroyer of our communities: our trifling men. Give your, mama, your grandmama, your great-grandmother, your aunt, your niece, your daughter daps for standing strong and keeping the Black community alive with sincerity, morality and love.
Oh my, ‘YourMama’ you are my new best friend!
YOUR MAMA: Your comment was the most rational and mature comments on this subject. I am glad to see there is a person of such wisdom reading this, because I am always concerned at the immature comments some of our younger readers espouse.
This situation between Mashonda/Swizz/Alicia mirrors the same old ignorant state of mind of some of our brothers, husbands, sons, etc. It continues to be perpetuated a hundred years after slavery. There is nothing more for black women to do in this society but to keep being the rock of the family. Tho none of us are perfect, the old saying “it’s not what you do it’s how you do it” always comes to mind. In the case of black male celebrities their choice of a mate lets you know their mental state. And some of them don’t love THEMSELVES, their sisters, or the mothers. Black people are drowning in the sea of lack of knowledge of self.
Although we don’t know all the details about the relationship, It does raise the question of Alicia’s own self-esteem. As successful a woman she is, why does she have to settle for someone elses’ husband? Granted good men are few and far between, but certainly there is an unattatched guy out there with the same goals and interest as she? And if it was/is Swizz, why couldn’t she wait until things were finalized before she started stepping out with him? I’m not a big Alicia fan, but it’s my understanding she serves/seved as one of the few positive role models for young women.
Personally, I don’t see them together for much longer. I still think Alicia Keys is a lesbian.
My heart really goes out to women who have to go through divorce and cheating publicly. Even moreso when there are little children involved. I hope everyone can get along, and move past the embarassment and foolishness.
Every party looks like an ass in this scenario.
Both Swizz Beats and Alicia are in the wrong. Alicia could have chosen to step off until he was out of the marriage. Men will do, say and try anything to get what they want. All alicia had to do was say NO! But she chose to be involved with him. Both of them are guilty of adultry and fornication. Karma is a real! It may not have an immediate impact, but eventually they both will feel the Blows of it!
LOADS OF CRAP!!!
I’m put it like this only GOD knows the TRUE story because for all we know Mashonda could be making it bigger than what it is I truly do think that her and SWIZZ aren’t together anymore and they probably weren’t when he got with Alicia because think about it why would Swizz be hanging out everywhere with Alica if he and Mashonda were still married? If they were still together don’t you think you might hear things about him and her being together also why would Alicia mess with a married man knowing that it could ruin her career I think there is definately more to this story, but Mashonda is trying to make it seem as if Alicia is the Devil or something for all we know she could have hurt Swizz or whatever!!! Maybe Swizz left Mashonda and him and Alicia started dating and she got jealous maybe she could ahve kicked him to the curb and now wants him back you never know!!!
“have”
Divorce is a fact of life! Couples living together before marriage have a greater rate of divorce than those who did not live together.–Swizz and Mashonda did cohabitate before marriage.
Good relationships are about compromise through great communication, patience, love and consideration for each other feelings…
It requires work not twitting……….
