Comment: JFromMo, yes, that was reported, which makes this story even more surprising. I'm not really one to get in folks' private affairs, but I gotta say if it turns out AKeys was dealing with this married man, ie if she and this SwissBeatz (what kind of name is that anyway?) come out as a couple after his divorce is final, she will have lost A LOT of respect, at least from me. I don't care what the circumstances are, I just have never been able to condone folks going with married people. Even in real life, I've found men especially are surprised when they find I don't get down like that, and I always find myself 1)feeling disrespected like do I have "home-wrecking whore" written on my forehead or something? lol and 2) disappointed that so many people think so little of their marriages. *Sigh*

Comment: LMBAO...MOTHER, you got me rollin' down here-- callin' dude "pencil face"...that's cold. I'ma get at you this evenin' - I've been in a long distance zone past few...I think it's partly the moon. But yo, let's not rush to judgement...I mean, people can just be friends and be of the opposite sex w/o takin' it to the very place that usually f*cks it all up. Plus, we all know we can't believe everything we read-hear-and see. Alicia has always come across as a lady, or at least as close to a lady that a woman is allowed to be in the Industry. But how 'bout Mashonda - and not just her, but I'm speaking to our women as a whole - cover-up her business. Walkin' round with your titties hangin' all out is not sexy. Less is often more - imho - and I mean less skin (unless we on the beach or some thing similar). Like Dave Chappelle said, you gotta be mindful of that "whore uniform"...

Comment: I think the REAL issue is that if Keys worked with him on music BEFORE he and his wife split and then end up dating, not many women will believe that it only started after the breakup. It doesn’t mean it had to be sexual, but flirting in the studio, spending time together when not necessary. I remember when J.Lo and Marc Anthony got together, they had been working together for years and his wife was %*$!ed because she felt they were emotionally cheating right under her nose. You think your man is at work producing music with an artist and then end up dating the artist after you separate any spouse would be suspect..

Comment: >6footah - co-sign. I was just talking about this the other day. People will have a PI follow you to see what you're doing. Until the names are on the paper, you are free game for getting caught cheating. There are a few things Alicia must think about in this IF she is w/dude. 1) If he'll do it w/you, he'll do it to you, 2) Even if you are a superstar your man may still cheat. Ask Christie Brinkley if being a superstar will keep your man from cheating, 3) He was going home and living w/his wife. Does she really think he was living in a separate room during his stays between tour stops? Uh, yeah, right. So yeah, this may hurt her reputation - especially if she did call him "her boo" in public before he was officially divorced. I agree with everyone else that dude must have moves like a gymnast to warrant this much attention because he surely is nothing to look at. And I thought she was involved with a guy for several years. This came out of nowhere. Where is dude? Interesting.

Comment: >adifferentpath - you are focusing your attention on the wrong person. If anything, a woman needs to beat the guy down like Brenda Richie did. She got at both of them. Aside from that, nowadays when the marriage is over for a woman in this chick's position IN THEIR MANSION, it's about a generous settlement. Putting it out there on record which will cause people to delve deeper can only help her case for mo chedda! It's like Eddie Murphy "Raw" - "Eddie, want 1/2!!!" But aside from that - what the heyall kinda name is Mashonda? My goodness. Everytime I think I've heard the worst name ending in either "da" or "ica" or "isha" whatever someone brings me a new one to shake my head at. Thus far, my favorite is the chick on Judge Joe Brown. Her name is "Aplonda". I was like, "Where's the bread?"..."It's aplonda fridgerator."...

Comment: "Alicia introduced Swizz as 'The man of the hour and my boo,'..." Maybe I'm stretching this a bit, but can't "boo" also be used as a term of affection? I'd have to see/hear Alicia saying this (on Youtube or something) to get the full context. Anyway, if it don't work out, Alicia, (if there's really anything to work out) I'm available.

Comment: Things happens in life that sometimes in out of ones control. It seems as thou he doesn't want to be married anymore. That happens in life. Now his wife may feel bad but if he doesn't want you and says he will take care of you and his child then that's it. His kind of cute to me, even though looks are everything, that's
the problem in life. Even though we can see what he looks like, but what will people say about some of you.

Comment: >PRDC - now you know I'm gonna have to call you out on this. You're the holier than thou one on here - always trying anoint our heads with oil to make us change our wicked ways - and here it seems as if you not understanding the situation fully. What you say is true - people do fall out of love, blah, blah, blah. BUT the whole "til death do we part" thing is a vow before God and just because you aren't feeling your spouse anymore doesn't mean you can't get it back. Marriage is work. I'm not married but all my married friends say that it's work. So if you do "fall out of it" you are supposed to work to "get it back". The only Biblical reason for divorce in the Book of Matthew is adultery. That being said, until you are officially divorced with ink on paper you are married and committing adultery. And, if you want somebody else you wait for that to happen if you have any respect for your spouse and yourself and the one you're running to. *stepping down from of the pulpit* (since I really don't belong there as a heathen in PRDC's eyes)...

And here's the thing - try teaching 150 kids in the ATL - many w/these pseudo-African names that you can't pronounce. The kids will check you, "That's not how you pronounce my name!" I'm like okay, "Darrus" I was supposed to know that I should really be saying "Darius" because your brick head mama couldn't spell it right on your birth certificate. Yeah, I was supposed to know that.

I too thought Alicia would be above this kind of drama but there seems to be a shortage of good men for these women - damned if I'd want someone fresh off a hump and especially if he's only separated. I only hope Alicia isn't taking him seriously cause a man that doesn't handle his bidness before he gets involved again is likely showing you his nasty little habits. Run girl run!

Not flattering AT ALLLLL! <> JFromMO, you read my mind. <> TGen, I am so feelin' your 1st post. <> And please y'all, before we start judgin' Alicia, can we wait n' find out if there's any truth to Mashonda's assumptions. Maybe Swizz n' Alicia spent a lotta time in the studio workin' on some tracks n' 'Shonda got the wrong idea and/or got mad at all the time he spent WORKIN'. Maybe Swizz shoulda invited her to the studio so she can see that it's a strictly professional relationship...unless it ain't. God only knows...until more stuff comes out and WE ALL know, lol!

Comment: Taurus, you stoopid! LOL! Here's some mo' bullshyt for ya: September 16, 2008. Drama!!! MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind that the Swizz Beatz-Mashonda divorce saga may be headed for a new twist.
MediaTakeOut.com just spoke with a person close to the situation who claims that Swizz Beatz suspects that Mashonda may have not been 100% faithful in the marriage.
The insider, who asked to remain anonymous, claims that for many months Swizz suspected that Mashonda may have been up to no good. The insider explained to MediaTakeOut.com, "Swizz would find suspicious text messages on Mashonda's phone, and she would take sudden unannounced trips to Atlanta to meet with producer Bryce Wilson (from the group Groove Theory)."
And it gets worse, the insider claims that now that Mashonda and Swizz are separated, she's officially dating Bryce. The tispter told MediaTakeOut.com, "It's very suspicious, Mashonda and Bryce were just 'hanging out' when she was together with Swizz and now they're dating. I'm not buying it."
Oh man ... we knew this was getting juicy ... but this is CRAZY!!!

Comment: If there's trust in a relationship, you shouldn't have to watch your mate like a hawk. Also, I've been in situations where I've been approached by people who were either involved or married. I turned them down. That's because I wasn't interested. I've never been in a situation where I was attracted to the person. I'd like to think that I would do the right thing.

Comment: Thanks Mothership. See, it coulda been MRS. SWIZZ doin' dirt. Coulda had nothin' to do with Alicia at all. Mrs. Swizz could just be sayin' that to make herself look like the innocent victim. I've seen it before where people do schitt n' when they get caught and/or when people get wind of what THEY've done, they make up schitt about the other person. The truth'll come out. It always does. And just curious, what's "her career"? She could be stirrin' all this mess cos she's jealous of Alicia. Hmmm...? Somethin' about this just stinks.

Comment: Update to the Update (from MTO):
The mess has hit the fan. Earlier today we reported a story that suggested that Mashonda may have carried on a relationship with singer/producer Bryce Wilson from the group Groove Theory. Well Mashonda's rep offered this EXPLOSIVE response to our story:
As far as [Mashonda's] alleged involvement with Bryce Wilson, that is a total fabricated, and false rumor. She has no type of inappropriate relationship with Bryce Wilson going on in any way now, or at anytime during she and Swizz's marriage. She and Swizz are still legally married. Mashonda has no intentions of having any extramarital affairs during her marriage, no matter what else might be going on in the media surrounding her marriage.
These recent allegations made by Swizz's team are only for the sole purposes of discrediting Mashonda and ultimately trying to save face for Swizz and his girlfriend Alicia Keys.
Mashonda has in no way spoken about anything with any media outlet, as she's been instructed not to by her legal team, but furthermore [Mashonda was] threatened financially and physically by Swizz if she does speak.
Bryce Wilson is highly upset that he's being included in this family drama, and is personally reaching out to Swizz and his team to dissolve these vicious rumors.
SPEECHLESS .... just plain SPEECHLESS!!!

Comment: I love A. Keys music, I think that she is a great performer and singer, BUT if this is true (of her breaking up their marriage) it's not a good look for her. The last thing she wants to be known for is a "home wrecker" NO WOMAN SHOULD WANT TO BE KNOWN AS THAT. Although Swizz and his wife may have had their problems (all couples do)Keys should have played the background until the ink was dry on the divorce papers or at least not been so outward with their relationship. Even if she didn;t break up their marriage there is a certain amount of respect that Keys should give to not only Mashonda (because ultimately she is still his wife and the mother of his 1 year old son) but also herself too. As I said no woman should want to be known as the homewrecker. And the fact of the matter is that 'they are still married' and really it could go either way. Keys is taking him on world tours and spending money up the a$$ to throw him parties, and calling him her "boo" but what if he decides to go back to his wife.... she has put so much time into this man and if he goes back to his wife she (keys) is probably going to be devastated. Keys needs to remember "the way you get is the ways you lose them."

Comment: Although, I think it would have been best for Alicia to stay clear until Swizz was divorced, it may be that there was no relationship until after he separated and his separation had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Alicia, he just found love in the arms of someone else AFTER his marriage was emotionally over and his wife is just playing the usual blame the girlfriend game. Swizz wasn't helping by not leaving the home altogether but maybe he was there for his son. I am not ruling anything out but some of this seems like 'Mon what's her face' is a little mad cause Swizz don't want her no more and is trying to bring the successful Alicia down a peg.
Again, though, Alicia should have told Swizz, catch me up when you are divorced, I have a solid reputation to protect but love is love. I say if they truly love each other, Swizz needs to get his divorce and he and Alicia need to just ride it out, soon enuff people will accept them.
This is the same thang that went down w/ Angelina and Brad P. Brad swears he and Jenn were emotionally although not legally done before he and Angie hit it off. Now, they are a beloved American couple. Blacks are just less forgiving...

Comment: Sounds like a classic case of "I don't want to be married anymore". Nobody knows what kind of problems they might have had, but I get the sense he's on this "something better" tip. You would think with all the years of examples throughout history and the music industry (Lionel Ritchie anyone?) that people would have learned by now. The grass isn't any greener, just more costly. Not only will Mashonda possibly wipe the floor with him BUT I dare say the "next" relationship is bound to fail.

Comment: Kattgrrl... not disagreeing w/ you but you look at how the media is trying to savage Britneys and Lindseys careers, etc. Kelly will NOT have the level of success he had, partly cause he is crazy & & his music is wack but partly cause he has lost a lot of female fans.
All in all, Alicia does great thangs w/ her charitable organizations/efforts in NY and Africa and in betw. She is a great vocalist and her personal loves shouldn't overshadow that. Kelly committed a crime! What Alicia may be doing although, it's the act of a 'Superwoman', it's not a crime!
The media and peeps like us on this comment board are just too much in these peeps business these days. The entertainers of old ran so much dirt in their personal lives but it didn't affect their tour/album sales cause they were able to keep their junk private for the most part. These celebrities today are under to harsh of a microscope. Alicia is 27, how many mistakes do people make in their 20s!! She may live to regret this but it shouldn't deminish her talent.

Cool.
About Kelly, w/ all these artists, there are some peeps that have such blind devotion, the artist could committ murder on youtube but long as they got a hit, it's all good. So far, although I disagree with it, having a relationship w/ a man who is already separated just hasn't led me to abandon being a fan yet.
