Mashonda, the ex-wife of music producer Swizz Beatz, has responded to statements made by Alicia Keys who insists Swizz was a single man before she offered up her body to him.
Normally I don’t waste my time with drama between messy divas, but I take care to remember that my readers might be interested in this ongoing drama.
Mashonda recently sat down with Global Grind to give her response to Keys’ statement:
What was your initial reaction when you caught wind of Alicia’s JET Magazine interview?
“Not much surprises me anymore when it comes to this situation. I truly thought that everyone’s priority was the well being of the children involved. I don’t see the sense in throwing oil on a fire, it just takes us back to point A. The Jet interview just added insult to injury. I can’t figure out how this makes us better. How is it a positive, humanitarian gesture? But artists must protect their reputation and I get that.”
In the interview Alicia Keys says “…[They] were apart for some time before we ever got together…that doesn’t matter to those who take pleasure in trying to knock others down…there’s no need to fight what’s not true…”
Did you feel like this was a indirect stab at your open letter?
“There have been many stabs and shots taken, thankfully they don’t bother me the way they used to. I’ve never lied about one thing involving the demise of my marriage. No, we were not “apart” or separated, and that’s just a fact that can be proven in many ways. Blessings have a way of disguising themselves. This situation has helped me to understand life and what really matters.”

Sandra, had Alicia not even bothered to respond, we would’ve be getting her comment
I’m glad mashonda is moving on with her life. Akeys with her sneaky azz is gonna get hers.
yeah. after all this time tho ALL parties should be over discussing this. chit, how long have they been married now?? let. the chit. GO!
Sleezkeys is a liar she said that they were separated in 2009 be because in 2007 or 08 Wendy Williams wanted to air swizz and akeys cheating azz but she befriended and kept her promise not air there dirty laundry..
Sandra u really have hatred for women who’ve gone thru shyt huh…how u mad @Mashonda? #shady tsk tsk
@Naija, bew im getting sooooo busy in that kitchen. i will have ur plate all ret ta goooo
Donna!
hewwo hottie..
LoveZoe, Nikke, Iheart
hewwo bewski’s
Hey!
Dayum! These two STILL talking about Toucan’s azz! I can see if he was a fine azz specimen. Dang, let’s move on!
Mashonda-he left you for A. Keys. He gone. Be at peace with it, and know that you can tap her azz for child support too as if wife if need be.
Alicia-you was hitting him while he was with him. you thawt by marrying him all would be forgiven. Nope, People and The Insider may not talk about it. But, the urban blogs gonna ride it until the wheels fall awf!
Furthermore, since you all in love…your music has fallen the phuk off. I liked it better when you was on the fence of dyck/puzzay and being lonely. Now you a mother and a wife, and I can’t mess with you.

i LMAO when i saw that pic. i adore Luvvie! 
Why don’t she admit that Swiss was cheating on her this man had two outside kids on her. If y’all was not separated then you look even more foolish to go hard in the paint for a man who had a baby in 2008 on you. Anybody can see that Swiss been sleeping around on Mashonda period. So what’s the point he was no good at all let Alicia deal with him. How you crying foul on Alicia but not your then husband who had a baby with another woman who was not Alicia duh you didn’t get the y’all was separated memo but he did happens all the time in the real world…
You sexy hawt thang u!
:hugs: Have a Happy Turkey Day!

No one can say what you will do until the situation happens.. so I’m not gonna she shouldn’t get over it because she will whenever time permits and I can tell therapy is working for just from her mature statement.
FAY!

@TISCH – the only thing I know is they broke bread at her and Swizz’s home…don’t know how deep…but it’s different when you know the chick…I agree they need to move on…and hopefully this will be the last time it’s addressed
When a man tells you he don’t want you or be married to you anymore and you in your mind tell yourself that he tripping or things might work out. It’s on you to keep giving up prime snatch to this man. A man can only do as you let him. So yeah you can still be sleeping with him don’t mean he wants you he just want the free sex. So be very careful not to hear what you want instead of listening to what that man is telling you. She reminds me of DMX wife he sat there and said he wasn’t shat and not gonna be shat yet she still wanted to fix her marriage and he had 6 outside kids.. Nothing to fix but my check on the way out…

He said he has about 84 chapters at this point and will NEVA EVA EVA stop writing them.
R. Kelly along with that whole “trapped in the closet” mess needs to drink bleach….Ever since his trial I haven’t been feeling him. Not only did the child predator thing turn me off but, his music just hasn’t been right.

EVERYBODY ENJOY UR TURKEY DAY!!!! time to go prep and set.
Huh.
Happy Thanksgiving Bad Influence, iheart and everyone!!
U know folks kill me saying Mashonda need to get over it. Divorce is not easy…. I sat back and watched my sister go through the same mess
and to have to see Alicia prancing around like sleeping wit someones husband is ok 
Alicia will never get another dime out of me 
wit her horrible sounding azz !! Yeah right 
slore!
Mash should be happy he is now Alicia’s problem. The man is a pathological liar, a whore and a sperm donor. He never respected their marriage, so this marriage was over when Alicia got him in my eyes. it’s good ridance, she should be relieved.
*sigh* Ummm, it’s being reported how the food banks in our country is getting ready for next year’s food disaster>.<< I'm here with you, most folks that say that (and I ain't read nothing up top) are too young or have never been married/serious-as-married relationship

I just don’t understand how Swizzy could wake up and look at someone who looks like a twin sister….Never been a fan of ppl dating people they look just alike….Just plain weird!
I am not a AK’s fan. Swizz was married. Women need to quit listening to a mans bs. 99% of men talk smack. They are not going to divorce their wife. They tell you sob stories about their wife, yet show up in public w/her. Men are not dumb, they do what we allow them to do. Men are not waiting in line to divorce their wives. when a woman says it’s over, it’s over, and she is waiting in a long line w/other women also wanting to divorce their husbands. Most men who get divorced, are not the one who filed first. I wish Mashonda Love & Happiness.
mashonda needs some new dack cause she still hanging on swiss’ cheating azz for pure life. he was cheating before her, with her, and and will cheat after her. she made every excuse for the other broads but seem to be hung up on alicia.
If Alicia’s and Swizz’s relationship didn’t bother Swizz, why did
Mashonda expect it to bother Alicia? It takes two to save a marriage —
Mashonda was interested, Swizz was not. Did Mashonda think Swizz would
have no choice but to “return” to his lawfully wedded wife if Alicia had
walked away? He either would have run after Alicia or eventually run
after someone else!
