Hate To Say I Told You So

Jun 13 | by Natasha

Back in April, TheYBF.com reported that a source close to Mashonda sent in some interesting info about Alicia Keys being the woman who invaded Swizz Beatz and Mashonda's marriage. Apparently Swizzy and Alicia have been gettin' it poppin' on the side for a while now. And the news came right after Swizzy and Mashonda announced their divorce. Many people--including me--weren't trying to believe Alicia could be the cause of Swizz & Mashonda's divorce. But in this week's issue of Hip Hop Weekly, Mashonda was interviewed and she gave some very interesting insight on Ms. Keys' affect on her marriage. When Mashonda was asked about Alicia Keys being a homewrecker who broke up her marriage, Mashonda's response:

[Alicia Keys] is her own woman and she has made her own choices. I don’t have a problem with her,” she said. “I will say this though, I am not a scorned woman. I have a responsibility to raise [my son], he’s my number one priority and everyday I strive more for him and of course my music.

I don't hear any denial of the homewrecking. In fact, I almost hear confirmation. I told y'all the drama was about to unfold...

Alicia cant help it if she

Alicia cant help it if she looks better than his wife...... HER BAD! If it did happen, it aint all her fault, its his too. As for her being gay, that's just stupid ish. Leave the girl alone, she can get any man she wants, married or not. His wife needs to just woman up and move on.... obviously her man dont want her!

And no, no one has ever herad Jim Jones say anything like that. Try again!!! It is really time to get over it and leave Mashonda alone.

Natasha,I remember when you

Natasha,I remember when you reported this but then the next day or so after,you posted a message stating that some girls were sending those emails to different blogs.In the message you were stating that whomever those ladies were can be sued for "defamation of character"! You also contacted Alicia's rep.and they denied(of course)that Swizz and Alicia were not a couple. I was left confused but for the sake of gossip,I wouldn't be surprised.Alicia ain't all that perfect like people think! Swizz and Mashonda made such a lovely couple! I wish Mashonda the best!Word to Swizz and Alicia,Karma is a bitch! Alicia you know.You wrote a song about it!*Remember*

[quote comment="115968"][quote comment="115952"]I don’t believe this shit, either. Not because of what I perceive AK’s character as, but because this comes from “Hip Hop Weekly”. They are ALWAYS making up shit and paying people to say suspect shit without any suporting evidence knowing people will believe what the person has said. Prime example: Jay-Z having a “secret love child” with Shenelle Scott. Turns out she was just scorned about the Beyonce situation and her REAL BABY DADDY Benny Boom helped her pull the shit off to make them some money off of interviews selling her made up story knowing she would get approached for photoshoots equaling more money for them(Don’t believe me? Go to Myra Panache’s blind items section from December of 2007–she’s always right about these things). And Alicia may not be on Beyonce photog status, but SOMEBODY would’ve taken a pic of them together if they saw them, right? So, until I see some CREDIBLE proof, I call bullshit! If it is true, AK isn’t COMPLETELY wrong because Swizz was seperated from Mashonda and they had already filed for divorce when he was linked to AK(think Brad, Jenn, and Angelina),but he WAS still married, so she’s kinda wrong if it is true. I can’t co-sign her if it is and I might have to boycott her like I did Brad and Angelina. However, I have NO RESPECT for Mashonda, either. Swizz cheated on her plenty of times including fathering a baby with another woman at the beginning of their marriage and she stayed. Now, because he's linked to an A-list celeb, you wanna call him and her out? Why not call out his baby mama and all the other bitches? Because they're not famous and can't help promote your "music"? Bitch, please! You ain't innocent, either! Didn't Jim Jones or somebody say he smashed while ou were married to Swizz? I guess that old saying in true: YOU LOSE HIM THE SAME WAY YOU GOT HIM! You were nothing but a groupie being tossed around different rappers and producers who got lucky and caught the eye of Swizz. So, hoe sit down and shut the fuck up![/quote] Preach![/quote] Baby momma, would you shut up and sit down already.

Wow some people are really slow. Mashonda all but came out and said Alicia broke up her marriage. While i'm not saying Swizz is not to blame because he was the one married and obligated to that commitment I'm really disappointed in Alicia I thought she would have more class than to mess with a married man. And I respect Mashonda for speaking her peace in a respectful way and keeping it moving. I guess we will all see how it plays out in the future.

[quote comment="115863"]For

[quote comment="115863"]For this whole statement to have been going on for a couple of days now, the fact that no one has fessed up and denied this, makes me think this is true. That would be a hell of lawsuit if Mashonda was just dragging Alicia's name in the mud for some publicity. I really think if Alicia did this, that she is messed up. I wish people would actually realize the other people that are involved when they get into situations like this, like their poor child. And for Alicia to be singing about a "woman's worth" that's even worse. What goes around comes around. I hope they both get what's coming if this foolishness is true.[/quote] Would you sue the spouse of one of your friends? Alicia and Swizz have been friends for years. His wife starts tripping and saying stuff to the media/bloggers and she supposed to drop the legan hammer on her? Swizz and his wife are having problems and hauling her butt into court only draws more attention. For stuff like this celebs don't even waste their time going out of the way to address it. Mashonda shouldn't have put her business on front street. It makes me suspicious of her. Swizz needs to get his house in order. His wife could have used any of his female friends in this mess. Alicia was the biggest name.

Its obvious by the way she

Its obvious by the way she answered , that there is some truth to what has been said. If it wasnt, im sure she wouldnt have brought Alicia's name in it like that, and said that, rumor or not. I must say I am dissapointed in Alicia as well. You should never step inside anyones marriage, whether it be an unhappy one or whatever the circumstances taht is never okay to reduce yourself to the title as the other woman and a homewrecker. Swizz is a dog, point blank and simple. I comend Mashonda for taking the high rode and not the dramatic route. But I guess that goes to show people are not perfect and they make poor choices, it doesnt matter who they are. Hopefully, Mashanonda finds something better then swizz's cheating rat looking ass and Alicia takes a step back and look at herself and what she participated in and revaluate her situation because Kamra is a bitch and it will come back on you ten fold. Damn I think i wrote enough, im done lol

Relationships are hard enough without the willing, ready and able clean-up women of the world. Ak is ILL. She didn't take that vow but she helped to break it by KNOWING he was married and proceeding anyway.

It Might have worked if it was a singer who didn't write and produce her own music, and who wasn't rumored to be gay. Alicia aint checkin' for no Z LIST CELEB. No one knows who Mashonda and Swizz are outside the black community. Mashonda might have been able to get bigger publicity from this story if the rumor was reported on more widely read gossip publications, ie Perez, Intouch, Star, Life & Style. Mashonda needs to stop trying get the Jeniffer Aniston Brangelina scandal.....Now that this story has been reported on the top 3 black celebrity gossip sites, Mashonda's little attempt at getting publicity is over. She will be irrelavant tomorrow, just as she was yesterday..........Btw, I am a fan of Alicia's and I wouldn't put it pass her to do a married man, if I didn't believe that she was gay.

If Alicia did do this then

If Alicia did do this then her AND swizzy are WRONG! I believe in my heart (and from past experience) that married men are the EASIEST targets. If they've been married long enough, they get excited when ANY other woman shows them attention. A woman must respect her fellow woman and the sanctity of marriage itself and NOT go after a married man!!! I'm not saying that the man is faultless...he's just plain stupid! If women would have more respect for other women (that they might not even KNOW) we probably wouldn't run into more than HALF of these problems...i'm just sayin!!!

Are some of you loco. Yes, a man takes a vow, but everyone knows that if a man is married he is not fresh meat. I have had men who were living in their house with their women and childrn try to get with me and I said no. It wasn't even a marriage situation, but common-law. A homewrecker's only excuse is if she was lied to and went in thinking the man was single. We reap what we sow and if you mess with a married man, chances are you will get cheated on when you are married or in a deeply committed relationship. God don't like ugly.
