Swizz Beatz with Alica Keys and Mashonda on his mind

Swizz Beatz Denies Alicia Keys Wrecked his Marriage ↔ Again!

Over the last few months Mediafakedyouout has posted rumors that Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz are secretly dating. In fact, NY Post’s Page Six ‘spotted’ them having lunch in Los Angeles. This friendship is the rumored reason Swizz Beatz and his wife Mashonda are getting a divorce.

Last week, Alicia Keys supposedly threw a surprise birthday party for Swizz Beatz at the Guggenheim museum. With these stories circulating, Alicia Keys is being labeled a homewrecker by many women in blog world and it’s gaining momentum.

Swizz Beatz spoke out against this scandalous and surly gossip. In a US magazine exclusive Swizz Beatz said..

“I can no longer ignore the harmful rumors, that my friend Alicia Keys is in any way linked to my marital circumstances or to the decision that [my wife] Mashonda and I have made to separate. I am disappointed that some have chosen to try and tarnish Alicia’s reputation by irresponsibly implicating her in a situation that she has absolutely nothing to do with.”

This isn’t the first time he’s refuted the rumors.

This past June, Swizz gave MTV a more forceful answer.

“That sh-t just looks like drama. They got another big name involved. No, I’m not doing [any] f—king interviews. Only thing I’m commenting on is music-related. I don’t comment on my personal life. Why start now? You start commenting on that sh-t, then they start twisting it out. I’m not gonna speak about nothing. They [gave Mashonda] two pages in Hip Hop Weekly. She didn’t even say nothing about Alicia. They blew it up on MediaTakeout.com. They flipped that into some other sh-t.

I’m not hiding anything. I can see if I was hiding something.

I’m a grown man. Nobody is living no perfect life.

Mashonda has a single coming out that I funded; photo shoots that I funded; we made our statement that we’re still working together. They didn’t wanna believe it. I said I would be continuing to support her career.

Nobody wants to look at that sh-t. They wanna look at ‘Alicia Keys.’

That sh-t is ignorant.”

True enough but by speaking out again, in US Magazine, Swizz Beatz has put even more people on to a story that he wanted to keep private and Alicia Keys, she’ll be expected to say something about their friendship too.

If you notice, he didn’t deny that they are dating. Alicia Keys just wasn’t the reason for the split. Ha ha. That’s not believable. He took a look at what he had vs. what he could have.

I actually think Swizz made a pretty good decision to speak out on it. The rumors had been swirling for a while and I was actually waiting on him to come out and really tell people to put an end to all the gossip. Giving a semi-rant to MTV doesn’t really count in my book. Even though it shouldn’t be necessary, I think it was a pretty good PR move.

It’s very obvious that swizz and alicia were having an affair while swiss was married that i call infidelity, there is a 90% assuarance that alicia was the reason for thier divorce. I guess its a mans world, what he wants he gets. Is sponsoring her album a way of compensating the broken heart?

Wow she did an outstanding job with this rakmee. Her vocals are solid and keeps the integrity of the original, I likes. Some of the comments on here are wild lol. If she puts too much of herself in the song some will say this doesn’t sound like the original, she’s doing too much . If an artist chooses to keep the integrity some will say this sounds just like the original nothing was added . Sometimes that’s the point!!! Bottom line is, it’s a rakmee and that in itself means it should sound like the original. It’s totally up to the artist whether they want to add twists and turns (or not). In my professional opinion I feel Mashonda did a hell of a job. I enjoyed it for what it is because we all know the girl isn’t trying to make a career off rakmees geez lol.
