Alicia Keys Begs Swizz Beatz To Save Her Career

It looks like Alicia Keys’ carefully constructed wall of lies has come tumbling down. In a desperate bid to squash the talk of infidelity and home-wrecking, AK and her camp begged producer Swizz Beatz to come to her rescue – again.

In a prepared statement to US Magazine, Beatz made a not-so-convincing plea asking the media and the public to respect his privacy in dealing with his impending divorce from aspiring singer Mashonda and his rumored relationship with Keys.

Click here to read his statement.

Alicia Keys is no stranger to rumors or controversy. She simply has good people in her camp who work tirelessly to cover up her missteps. AK is far from perfect y’all.

I once wrote about a rep who talked me out of exposing AK’s down low lifestyle: One of her reps at her record label once pleaded with me to leave Alicia alone. The rep’s reasoning was, “she’s so nice. She’s the sweetest person I know.” But aren’t they all nice and sweet? Isn’t that how they get your man?

After denying rampant rumors of a lesbian affair with a well-known female celeb, AK’s camp fabricated a relationship between AK and her business partner Kerry Brothers Jr.

For years Brothers fronted for Keys while she creeped with chicks and other women’s men on the down low.

Alicia Keys is a desperate, determined woman who has never met a married man (or woman) she couldn’t have. It will be interesting to see how this plays itself out.

This is pure comedy! PURE!!!

Of course she has good people to cover her, she has Clive Davis in her camp. He had us thinking Whitney was a black princess, when she was straight hood the whole time. It always those bohemian chicks that are the biggest freaks.
iyonah

Lol @ GOAT — to funnnnnnnnnnny.
Lol @ Naima “It always those bohemian chicks that are the biggest freaks.” I don’t think its a matter of being freaky, people simply find pleasure in a broad range of things … its when you are destroying families and deceiving/hurting people that it becomes a problem.

I don’t put cheating past anyone. So this all may be very true … for the child involved though I do hope Mashonda and Swizz can come to some sort of agreement without all the dirty laundry being AIRED.
bloggergirlz

not only are they covering for her, most sign confidentiality statements…not sure how helpful those are since there’s always an internal leak (source)…i’m referring to those who work day-to-day w/ her, touring, etc.

i’m not surprised to hear about AKs being w/ women…i’ve heard a fews things about her b4 she blew up, so this isn’t shocking…you always try to give a person the benefit of doubt, however her true colors are slowly emerging…

@naima. and yes my homegirl who is the bohemian in our crew is freaky freaky freaky. she scares me sometimes. reminds me of lynn on girlfriends. and she was cast as what…??? the bohemian chick.

HOW OLD IS THAT PICTURE???????????????

Ok…why are people actually making comments like they believe this?

Is it for the sake of conversation? Or do you really want people to believe you are just that dumb?

Clearly…there is an editorial embellishment on this story. It goes right up there with that “Mantauk Monster” that washed up on the shore of the Hamptons.

Did ya’ll believe that one too?
cocoa49

i am quite sure all of us have some shady shyt in our backgrounds. the only thing is we are not famous so who gives a shyt. our comments won’t break or make her career.
pointhimout

this is getting more and more interesting. i love when squeaky clean images become full of dirt and bullshyt. gimme more, gimme more.
Naima

Alicia was the one who came out with the holyer than thou stuff, talkin’ about she made a guy wait a year to sleep with her. She is a fraud in her goody 2 shoes image and I bet she can’t read music anyway. I mean how man melodies can she steal before she gets called on it. If Kerry doesn’t do her next album I guess we can assume the rumors are true.
toosexy

She is a little freak, and a homewrecker, I don’t want to judge her, but she gets no love from me. I was never a big fan, but I did get this last album and it was ok and i was starting to dig it, but now I don’t care i willl never buy another album or support her in any kind of way.

NOW THIS IS A ATTENTION WHORE! I HATE HOME WRECKERS!!!

here career ? saving ? lololol ……99% of the music artist would love to have a keys career.

I love it when celebrities dirty laundry comes out, I knew she wasnt as innocent as she preceive to be. Whats done in the dark will come to light and that goes for anyone…..Chuuuuurch!
intensemocha

WOW-the only factual information in this entire post is the statement swift beatz released the other seems speculated and fabricated

you heard from the man’s mouth himself that AK has nothing to do with why he and his wife is divorcing-and he’s right nobody can make that decision but himself or mashonda-not AK

but “team hens” lord forgive me but i am so sick and tired of women who go through great lengths to have and keep a man as if that’s what it takes to validate their worth, and even when it’s obvious the man is a philandering whore repeatedly, they through blinders on and make up excuses for him if it weren’t for her throwing herself at him or being a whore this would have never happen

Get a damn back bone and some self-respect and stop tolerating treatment that a man would never endure-want to find out if my theory is true-just give it a try, you don’t even have to go as far as sleeping with another man if your man even gets the idea that your azz is unfaithful I guarantee you his azz his out……………….and he could care less about the marriage or the kidz, because “team hens” constantly state especially when their man has children with another woman-that his responsibility is to the kids and not “her” well if it’s good for the goose then it’s good for the gander dammit.

What does her singing and playing her piano has anything to do with her alleged relationship with swizz, or with another female, unless she lipsyngs like milli vannlii, she is a great talent and her sex life, freakyness or whatever has nothing to do with anything, i will still cop her music she is a very talented individual.
another not come on she form harlem NY, i know how those chicks be, not a surprise, but a who cares

Oh REALLY Sandra? Is that true? It was all a front for all of those years…WOW if it was.

Do yall see how money changes people? I can’t STAND that pic of her with them doggone braids…eww. She has truly blossomed.
toosexy

@intense mocha

while i agree with some of your points, i know PLENTY of men who have stayed with the woman and the woman HAD slept with another man. So that theory is kinda false, but I know that they tend to get worse after they find out what you did, so whatever made you cross that line the men get worse with it.
goat76

@toosexy…………Couldn’t be me, Naw not me………..Everything don’t deserve second chances, and that would be one…….I don’t believe in cheating…..
intensemocha

@toosexy

Well based on what I’ve seen and heard from men they typically can’t stand the idea of sleeping with her knowing she’s been with another man or the fact that other people know about it-especially their “boys”

but you do make a valid point, but anybody male or female who puts up with cheating must feel they don’t deserve better, I can possibly see if they cheat once and you forgive them but a serial cheater, oh no-but the idea of blaming someone else for your partner’s actions is just absurd to me. I’ve always been taught to be accountable for my actions and not make excuses and I won’t accept a partner who won’t do the same-it’s about honesty you can’t work anything out if you have someone who is manipulating the situation and lying about their intentions, or who won’t take responsiblity for their own actions.

I think women blame the other woman because it makes it easier for them to forgive their partner, or because they still love or want to be with them, or it’s just easier to have someone else to focus or direct your anger towards.

And last but not least, women thrive off of competition in the end both women want to end up with the “prize” him, and men play off of that they like the idea of two women fighting over them-and whichever wins believs that they must be the better women because he chose them. Until he cheats again……

as always just “my” opinion…..
toosexy

@intensemocha

I think what you are missing and a lot of others who have that opinion is that NOONE IS DISMISSING THE MAN WHEN THEY CHEAT because your right you need to handle that man, but it’s not so much as putting blame on the other female, it’s just the fact that what female would put HER OWNSELF IN THAT SITUATION WITH A MAN THAT IS INVOLVED. that’s my point, why would you (woman) want to do that. So of course, as a woman you should know how it feels and have some respect for that female, just like men take up for each other, so should us woman we don’t have to know a female to say ,look you married or you with someone, and i ain’t got time to be putting myself in that situation, because majority of the time 99.9% of the time the man is NOT LOOKING FOR YOU TO BE HIS WOMAN and if you have self esteem and know your worth then you should know this. this is my question to you, WHAT MAKES A WOMAN ALLOW HERSELF TO PLAY SECONDS? And be for real mocha cuz you seem like a smart person, how many times have these woman who know from the get that this man has a woman or wife, but they start calling the home, start making problems when in fact you knew this man had a woman, now you want to be the real woman. So majority of the time the real woman don’t know, and he has no intention of telling his woman. What makes a woman accept being a peice of night time only ass. or what makes a woman in her mind think that this is your man. Now mocha do you really not think that the other woman has issues, really? I can’t stand them , and it goes vice versa, if we didn’t have so many easy woman who never had a man before because they was to busy sleeping with other people’s men and now they reputation is shot, men couldn’t do as much as they do. I mean i know some freaks who are so usto screwing other people men’s that if they see a number on their phone that they don’t know they answer, what you want to know bout your man. sickening. and i know from what i see from neck of the woods that most of these woman do not have men have never had a real man(always just getting screwed, to easy) and are freaks. I ain’t got time to be putting my self in a battle over no man, cuz if he out creeping with you what do you think he really thinks of you? I read in essence that if the woman suceeds in causing so much trouble in the relationship and the woman does leave(not you taking him cause if he wanted you for real he would have did it the right way) that 85% of the relationships don’t work , meaning get your own, man the lust will run out and he already know you trifiling so he ain’t really want you as his woman. I just used the caps to emphasize my feelings on those parts, not to scream at you.

Swizz Beatz is wrong and Alicia at this point has tarnished her image. Unlike Moshanda and Swizz -Alicia will come off more damaged than the two of them because women always place all of they blame on the other woman. Sisterhood my azz not every woman can get along with other women thats not the way the world works. I am speaking from experience of having a cheating husband. I never blamed the other woman I blamed him and left never to look back (the first time I knew about). I don’t know what he was saying to the other woman and really did not care because he was lying to me. Women always want to say its because the other woman has low self esteem thats not always the case. The man is the one with the low self esteem and feels the need to be validated. If she knew he was married and went after him she just did not care because for the most part she is not your friend and does not need to be loyal to his woman. Thats just the way the world works. Everyone’s morales are different.
flyqtnva

i just dont believe she would do that. Not Alicia Keys no way.
Candi Apple

@fly… I understand here’s some tissue….

I never put anything past anyone and she is only human. She is a talented human but just the same a human, no more, no less. I want to believe this is a mistake and everyone is entitled to a mistake. Sandra said it has happened several times in the past with other men & women. I don’t think Keys wants to settle with a man anyway. Its all about image and to suppress the gay rumors. I don’t believe her and swizz had a romantic relationship. I believe Swizz is being used as a coverup.
intensemocha

@toosexy

first and foremost I aint sleeping with nobody’s husband or man for that matter so ease up……

I’m too much of a class act to knowingly sleep with anybody’s man-and for the record-Did swift beatz just release a statement defending AK or Mashonda? AK has a successful career plain and simple and RKelly is a damn pedophile and his image being tarnished aint hurt his pockets not one damn bit…..but you are only spitting out what you’ve been fed by a sexist society

And it appears AK must be more than a jump off if he’s defending her and now currently in a relationship-but berating the other woman always helps the wife/girlfriend sleep at night next to the cheater any how.

NOBODY OWES YOU SH#T-PLAIN AND SIMPLE IF THAT WOMAN DIDN’T ATTEND YOUR WEDDING, ISN’T YOUR FAMILY/OR A NEIGHBOR,THEN YOU DON’T MEAN A DAMN THING TO HER YA DIG? MEN DON’T TURN DOWN SEX FROM AN INVOLVED WOMAN JUST TO GIVE RESPECT TO HER MAN-SO PREACH MORALS TO ALL AND NOT SOME DON’T EXPECT ANYTHING FROM ONE SEX THAN YOU DO THE OTHER, THAT’S THE MENTALITY THAT I AM ATTACKING DOUBLE-STANDARDS AND THE WOMEN WHO BUY INTO THE BULLSH#T-YEP YOU ARE A PRIME EXAMPLE

YOU HAVE POWER OVER YOU AND NOBODY ELSE-IF YOU WANT TO STAY WITH A CHEATER DO YOU MA-BUT WHY CATCH A HEADACHE AND PREACH MORALS TO SOMEONE WHO OBVIOUSLY DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU

AND PLEASE DO ME A FAVOR-TAKE ISSUE WITH THE SLEAZE BALL YOUR LYING NEXT TO BECAUSE “HE” IS THE “ONLY” REASON THAT OTHER WOMAN EVEN KNOWS YOUR PHONE NUMBER TO CALL AND HARASS YOU, HE’S THE REASON FOR HER EVEN EXISTING TO YOU-THAT’S THE ONLY COMMON DENOMINATOR IS HIS AZZ

YOU TRYING TO PREACH TO ME-BOO YOU CAN’T CAUSE I AINT TOLERATING NO CHEATING AZZ MAN, AND I RUNNING WITH NO TRICKS RATHER IT BE HER SLEEPING WITH A MARRIED MAN OR JUST MANY MEN, AND I AINT HOLDING OR CONSOLING NO DUMB AZZ GIRLFRIEND/WIFE WHEN SHE KNOWS HER MAN IS A SERIAL CHEAT YA DIG

WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT IS EMPOWERMENT AND THAT IS FOR ANYBODY MALE OR FEMALE-BUT DON’T FORCE FEED ME THE SEXIST BULLSHIT YOU’VE BEEN FED-THE OTHER WOMAN IS MORALLY WRONG AND THE BAD PERSON-SHE’S A SINGLE WOMAN FREE TO F$CK WHO SHE LIKE “AND IF YOUR HUSBAND/MAN” WASN’T OUT SOLICITING WOMEN FOR SEX IN THE FIRST PLACE WHE WOULDN’T STAND A CHANCE IN HELL TO EVEN BECOME THE OTHER WOMAN-HELL THE POSITION COULDN’T BE FILLED IF “YOUR MAN/HUSBAND” WASN’T ADVERTISING

AND HOW CAN SHE BE MORE AT FAULT OR HAVE LESS MORALS THAN THE MAN “THAT STOOD BEFORE GOD, HIS FAMILY, AND YOU” AND VOWED TO REMAN FAITHFUL TO YOU FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE AND HE TURNS AROUND AND CHEATS-HELL WHAT KIND OF MORALS ARE THOSE

I DON’T GIVE A DAMN WHAT A CHEATED ON WIFE/GIRLFRIEND OR A JUMP-OFF DOES BECAUSE FOR O

1. I HAVE WAY TOO MUCH RESPECT FOR MYSELF TO DEAL WITH A CHEATER, AND I AM RAISING A DAUGHTER AND WOULDN’T WANT HER TO BE A WITNESS TO ME BEING DISPRESPECTED LIKE THAT

2. I AM A WHOLE PERSON ALL BY MYSELF AND I CAPABLE OF FINANCIALLY SUPPORTING MYSELF, I HAVE FAMILY & FRIENDS WHO LOVE ME AND SUPPORT ME-SO I DON’T FEEL THE NEED TO MARRY ANY MAN JUST TO VALIDATE MY WORTH-WHEN I GET MARRIED IT WILL BE TO A MAN WHO HAS THE SAME MORALS AND VALUES I DO WHICH WILL INCLUDE ACCOUNTABILITY & FAITHFULLNESS

3. AND I CONTROL WHO I SLEEP WITH AND NOT VICE VERSA I BE DAMN IF ANY MAN WILL USE ME AS A PIECE OF MEAT -WHEN IT’S CONVENIENT FOR ME

SO AS YOU CAN SEE BOO-IT’S ALL ABOUT ME AND CREATING THE BEST LIFE POSSIBLE FOR ME- I AINT PUTTING UP WITH NOBODY’S SH#T MAN NOR WOMAN-I AINT GOT TIME TO STRESS OVER THINGS AND PEOPLE I CAN’T CONTROL-I SORROUND MYSELF WITH POSITVE THINGS AND PEOPLE -ANYTHING THAT STRESSES ME HAS GOT TO GO

IF MY MAN WANTS THE NEXT CHICK-GET GONE, IF SHE’S A HOE ETC. I AINT GOT TIME TO BE WORRIED ABOUT HER BECAUSE I’M TOO BUSY MOVING ON YA DIG-MY CONCERN DOESN’T LAY WITH WHAT I’M MOVING ON FROM AND PUTTING IN THE PAST-TOO MUCH ENERGY TRYING TO PREACH AND REFORM SOMEONE WHO OBVIOUSLY ISN’T CONCERNED WITH MORALS TO BEGIN WITH

OKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

@ TOO SEXY

THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY SENSITIVE ISSUE FOR YOU MUST BE DUE TO PERSONAL EXPERIENCES

BASED ON YOUR ANGER AND ATTEMPT TO GO SO HARD DETAILING AND DESCRIBING THE LIFE OF THE JUMP OFF

WAY TOO MUCH ENERGY FOCUSING ON THE OUTSIDE WHEN YOU SHOULD BE REFLECTING ON THE INSIDE

WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE A CHEAT, WHY ARE YOU STAYING WITH A CHEAT, AND WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU DON’T DESERVE BETTER..

AND HOW WOULD YOU KNOW SO WELL WHAT A JUMP-OFF MOTIVES ARE AND HOW THEY OPERATE IS THAT FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE-YEAH IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR MAN HAS TAKING YOU THROUGH THE RINGER

A BIT OF ADVICE-IF YOU LET HIM GO I GUARANTEE YOU-ALL THE HEADACHE & HOES WILL GO WITH HIM………..

where the sex tape at? who said he smashed?define cheating?
buttercup24

I don’t know what this “supposed” situation has to do with her career. She is a talented singer and I could care less what she does in her free time.
ldorisca

I hate when they call Alicia a home wrecker. You can’t wreck a home that is already broken. His wife probably gave him the leeway like most women do to sleep around and she didn’t expect him to fall in love with another woman. Stop blaming the other woman and look in the mirror.
bklynchick

I definitely agree with Intensemocha and I also agree with too sexy. Both point are valid and you can agree to disagree. I am feeling Intensemocha because the man in the end is resposible for any heartache you feel when you find out he’s cheating. Kick his azz out and keep it moving. With toosexy I understand that women SHOULD stick together, which would be nice but that is why you have trifiling females ans males who could give a damn about a man’s relationship or marriage. Sad but true. When that happens it does make it harder for women cause now the man think that women don’t care and are easy to get. But in the end it still comes back to you as a person need to have enough self esteem to say I am not going to put up with cheating in a relationship. let’em go to the other woman cause she and him should be the least of your worries.

@ intensemocha

I thought it was just me who felt this way. Great connection you made with the story and life.

I was taking it easy…..

Great post
iyonah

@ INTENSE & TOO SEXY

I agree w/ points that you both are making. IMO at the end of the day its the choice of the WOMAN to deal or not deal on both ENDS. Why afford some man the luxury of your time if he doesn’t deserve it? Whether your his side chick or his wife – he took vows and should honor them. Woman overall need to recognize when a man is no good and when its time to be done. If he has a wife and is cheating with you 9 times out of 10 he will step out on you too, if you have children together or anything else then its time to just GET GONE.

My time is too valuable to waste. Real talk. I was the other woman not knowing, but as soon as I received that call I knew what I had to do, whether feelings were hurt or not, I don’t want any parts of DRAMA @ the end of the day. And I love me to much to deal with whatever the MAN is coming up with – which 9 times out of 10 will be lies.
iyonah

@ idorisca “. You can’t wreck a home that is already broken.”I too believe this however, anyone woman that chooses to put up with a man who is still dealing w/ his broken home needs to revaluate where she is at and what she wants from a man.
toosexy

@intense

now i was just convo with you ,you don’t have to take it their, cuz i could say you sound like a woman who dates married men and so on, but i was not at all angry, but i have friends who have friends who have friends so you know how that goes, and I have experienced a cheating man who hasn’t i won’t get on the internet and play another life. but so what does that have to do with it, cuz i am a real woman i don’t care i will never belittle myself to play second to no man. I am not with the man that cheated on me, but you are so concerned with the lady being wrong, or it’s like you relate , anybody with sense know they BOTH ARE WRONG. You automatically think i’m with a person who cheats because of my view on it, i have views on everything. let’s be mature, I think that you are one of those woman since you took it their, and i am willing to bet. I hate i have to leave early, i would love to conversate more, but it seemed like i hit a nerve did you think i knew you?
toosexy

@intense i never implied that you were sleeping with a man’s husband i thought we were conversating but i guess not. you took it serious. like i were talking to you directly
toosexy

@bklyn chic

that’s right, but some people feel like it’s completely nothing wrong with a woman who does this, this is what has be baffled, i mean she is trifling and has no respect for her damn self that’s all i’m saying.. that woman has an issue whether it be childhood or just freaky. i had no problem with intense i just thought we were talking and she made it like i was talking bout her.
Candi Apple

@toosexy

We have been convoing for a couple of days and everytime your post come off somewhat accusatory because you point finger by using words like Example:1 “I think what you are missing and a lot of others who have that opinion”. Example 2 “that’s my point, why would you (woman) want to do that. So of course, as a woman you should know how it feels and have some respect for that female”… You pointed @intense by placing her at fault using the word YOU. You place blame on people instead of taking responsibility for your words. So she felt offended.. Just an opinion….

The sentence should read… Example 1) I think what is missing in some opinions is the other woman is at fault too. Example 2) My point is why would a woman want to do that… It’s all about word choice and usages..

I learned that the hard way.. I try to take responsibility for my words and actions behind them… I am not meaning to offend you at all… It comes off as an attack… Hey celebrities are up for grabs all the time…..
toosexy

@candi

while i appreciate where your coming from , your wrong, I never meant YOU IN THAT WAY, but she should know that, i don’t even know her, but maybe your right.
toosexy

@candi and i was meaning her missing my point, but other than that, nothing. I would never just say something about a person i don’t even know. but i guess like i said before you make sense so maybe i will be more careful not to offend anybody.
Candi Apple

@toosexy…

In all humbleness I am not trying to offend or attack you but when typing and not having a face to face the convo. comes off different and words get in the way. Like you said we don’t know eachother so we would not understand what the other person is trying to say while posting comments. From your response I can see that you are a mature female and I enjoy your point of view on all your comments.

GREAT DIALOGUE….PLAIN AND SIMPLE
