Mashonda {Swizz Beatz current wife} wrote a lengthy letter to Ms. Alicia Keys via tweeter after some "insensitive" tweets posted by AK. The letter was actually quite subdued and even mature - Mashonda said she was "left no choice" but to approach AK this way because AK has repeatedly ignored her request for a sit down. She also insist on referring to herself as the wife and Swizz as her husband until the divorce is final - again because she has "no choice". Hmm..it's hard to tell here if the wound is still a little fresh.... Read the entire letter after the jump!

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.

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.

This letter can go both ways, it will either bring more people to Team Mashonda or expose Mashonda as a scorned woman. Which will it be?



Why are so many women interested in MARRIED MEN? How can this woman make so many inspirational songs and then do just the opposite???

Sometimes people always want what someone else has. Alicia Keys songs don't have anything to do with her everyday actions. He was probably already cheating on his wife before Alicia Keys even came along.

Swizz is fully responsible, true. but since Alicia knew he was married, that makes her an accomplice, a skanky ho.

Messy!

Alicia threw a party celebration for Swizz Beats, and this asshole invited his wife. She showed up and even shook Alicia Keys hand!

Well, I guess her Karma song is for herself. She might just lose him like she got him!

Oh he will....once a playa, always a playa.

Is there a shortage of good dick these days or what?
I used to think Alicia Keys was gay because she was to tight lipped about who she was dating. Her ex-boyfriend Kerry look better than Swiss Beats. Mashonda is gonna get
paid now....

Alicia got a broke ass man!

Go head' supa WOMAN!!!!

better sleep with your eyes open alicia

I think so as well. As a member of Ruff Ryders in his own right (along with DMX, Eve, and others) Swiss Beatz already had access to groupies long before having an affair with Alicia.

Chic35 said:

Now if that ain't ironic, I don't know what is.

I've lost all respect for Alicia...not that I had much to begin with.


There are other black men in the world besides married ones. I hope Swizz makes a fool of her so she can make another hit/somber love song.

An affair is different from a jumpoff or groupie sex. An affair is a RELATIONSHIP with another person (i.e, a second wifey) and that is a lot more serious.

Doesn't Alicia have more money than him? That might be a motivator to leave wifey and hook up with miss keys aka miss money bags.

damn it Chic35, I was about to make a thread about this!


this thread still won't be as funny as my black gay wedding thread, so I've won that round

Interesting!

My bad....LOL!


Mashonda discusses divorce on Lip Service


Mashonda was trying to be sooo cordial! I would not be shocked if Swiss pulled some Kevin Federline shit on Alicia. I heard that party she threw him was lavish! I understand he had other groupies but Alicia Keys hit his JACKPOT Lotto zone!!! He must have put it in, uh I mean on Alicia, she whipped like sumptin terrible! They created the Million Dollar Bill song from Whitney's new album, she wrote it and Swiss produced it. Damn gurl he gotcha feeling like a million dollar bill huh? I guess X and sex is all it's cracked up to be!

Crazy shit going on right here.

First of all look at this cat....if you tell me that this guy is gonna settle and he isnt sticking his "thing" in more than the two of these girls, you are smoking. He has that look of "hey ma" "hey ma" meanwhile hes got 6 kids and cant pay for them, hes the ultimate stereotype.

Chic35 said:

Damn Mashonda cuter than Alicia.

Damn soon to be ex-wifey is a knock out! Sorry but Alicia doesn't even compare..

I agree. But you miss my point.

I'm saying that if a man like Swiss Beatz is going to get some vagina on the side BESIDE his wife's vagina, he is going to do it regardless if it's Alicia's vagina or some other woman's vagina. Remember, it takes two people to cheat. So I can never get on the bandwagon that is saying it's all Alicia's fault alone. Swiss knew he was still married but wanted to have a few romantic options besides his wife.

Well once again there is a HUGE double standard as always. If this is a female getting with the man so to speak, we say "oh thats fucked up shes breaking up a family etc..." and yet if its a dude we're like " oh thats what happens"

I mean there was a line in the Odd Couple Tv show back in the 70's, the line was "it takes two to make a rotten marriage" plain and simple, they are all wrong and they are all right case closed.

I don't get that longwinded lengthy shit on twitter of all places at all. Why use twitter to air your mess? what happened to talking face to face throwing some shoes and using some claws? next

Wow on Twitter,Oh and there is nothing BROKE about Swiss Beats his business ventures goes far beyond producing music.No, he's not the most handsome but maybe Mashonda wasn't bringing enough to the marriage. It takes more than having a kid to maintain the interest of one's spouse I doubt Alicia set out to get him... things happen sometime (yes it's wrong he was married) Alicia might have more in common with him and who's to say the marriage wasn't almost over anyway. We will never know
[Edited 9/29/09 3:52am]

This is so silly. A man can be faithful, I'm sick of all this "All men cheat if they get the chance" bullshit. If HE married the woman then HE made a committment and HE broke it. If it wasn't AK it would of been someone else. The wife's part to play is wanting him back after he's done. How could he love\care for her if he's willing to flaunt the shit? Maybe wifey only cares about the money... Both parties aint shit...

so Alicia is messin' around with a married man,huh?

I wonder if she'll do a song about it?
