Let me guess, Alicia Keys brings out the best in you, and Mashonda brings out the worst, right? Swizz Beatz took to twitter to defend his boo, Alicia Keys, (the victim) and to ask us to over look their personal lives and focus on the music. He also said that people who didn’t support the album were “haters” and that we didn’t know the facts.

In his twitter rant, Swizz Beatz laid the facts out, and admitted that his “affair” with Alicia Keys has been going on for two years and started when he was separated from Mashonda. The only problem is that we have pictures of him kissing his wife Mashonda just last year, perhaps he was kissing his wife while he and Alicia Keys were separated. (IDK) The divorce wasn’t filed until February of 2009, must have been a long separation (which doesn’t explain all the pictures of him kissing, hugging, and holding his wife in public, but not his mistress). Mashonda has said time and time again, that the affair started while they were together, and as more and more evidence comes out, it seems like the truth is on Mashonda’s side.
Swizz Beatz is right, it was none of our business, but when he and the others involved in the situation keep going public with it via twitter, then guess what you’re inviting us in. Twitter is a public forum, and while Swizz was trying to defend Alicia Keys, he inadvertently showed us how insensitive he was to his wife’s feelings, and confirmed to us his affair. “I’m a good man” but, I just told my wife to move on via twitter, so that I can defend the woman I’m dating. Ouch!
Last, but not least, we have all done things that we regret. I’m not defending Swizz Beatz or Alicia Keys actions, but just remember let he without sin cast the first stone. The real problem is that Alicia Keys sings about womanhood, and dating a married man is violation of the brand she created. So it’s not a problem with her private life, it’s a problem with how she’s marketed; we’re no longer buying the female empowerment brand. If it was Lil Kim, no one would have batted an eye.
Mashonda wrote the words, “I’m not going to battle my son’s father and mistress on twitter. Y’all won.” I can’t help but see how much she’s hurting, and I don’t care if Mashonda keyed his car, was acting psycho, being a gold-digger, or if the love was truly gone, in the end she’s the one left out and has to pick up the pieces alone. She’s out matched and out numbered, but they didn’t win. Karma hasn’t had the last word. Team Mashonda!

i read his tweets, the day he wrote them, i asked him
“why he felt the need to explain himself?”
if he did nothing wrong,then why explain the situation to the “haters”…anyways i feel bad for mashonda and their child, folks need to handle themselves like adults… twitter beef is strictly for those 16and under lol!

Girl I agree completely. You summed it up perfectly! It’s a sad situation either way you cut it. And on another note, what’s up with the celebrities and their incoherent, expletive-laden grumblings on Twitter anyway? I’m as troubled by how immature, unkind and unintelligent they sound as I am the message. This is who’s influencing generations?

I agree with your post 150 percent. As a woman that she so sings about..A.Keys should have known better than to step inside a married man’s bedroom. Swizz isn’t a good man if he lied on his vows to his devoted wife

@ Keish:
The sad thing is, we will forgive them, too. You are right the black community has a problem with taking a stance on the issues, we are so forgiving that it hurts us the most.

Give me a damn break! I do not support sleeping with someones man but at the same time I don’t assume the wife or husband of the accused is always correct. I further do not believe that they have to wait unti the ink is dry before they move on. I don’t blame him for telling her to move oon. She has been tweeting like crazy about those two. Good for him for saying something to her. Its his place to say something and not Alicia any way. He should be taking matters into his own hands. You always see a crazy ex and the current going head to head while the man sits back feeling important having 2 women go at it. He manned up and stepped to the plate. This chick had the nerve to write a tweet saying Alicia should tweet about how happy she is in her relationship because it disrespectful to her. Man, screw that, regardless of what the papers say their relationship is over. Don’t give me that they took a vow crap then say the divorce isn’t final. Because its either 1 thing or the other. If the vows are so important to anyone then it won’t matter if they divorce because they took a oath. I just think people would have a problem regardless. No 1 should have to be unhappy. That’s that!

@ Boss Lady:
If Alicia didn’t know Swizz was married then I would be right there with you, but she knew he was married, and who he was married to and how long he was married. She knew there was a wife and a child involved. That’s the facts. If he was telling her that it was over, then it was her choice to choose to believe it. Common sense will tell you it’s over when it’s over. At that point he hadn’t signed any papers.
If he was unhappy, he should have exited the relationship 2 years ago. You see when Usher decided it was time to go, he got his divorce in 3 months flat. When Usher moved on, he moved on.

It is not common for a man to leave his wife for another woman, so I’m told…I do think we to often blame women for men actions. In the words of Chris Rock “Women should rule the world, but they never will because Women hate Women”. We should show more understanding toward one another.

@Trish2000, You are so correct Trish. Women should be competitive but not in regards to getting the attention of a man. It should be the other way around. We are te Bee’s with the honey.

@Carla,
This post was written in December of 2009, what are you talking about.
Mashonda is the one that confirmed they weren’t separated when the affairs began.
