Hmm!! I am assuming that you know this because she slept with you right? ok, just making sure.

How is it still mashonda man when they were not together yes they still was legally married but they were not together and working on getting a divorce she want the world to fill sorry for and ruin another rep because she mad she lost her man to a wonderful women who gives most of her money to people in need I was one of them and if you were a true Alica keys fan you will support her through this like come on she wouldn't never do anything like this you canny mess a marriage up if it's alrready broken

Right!

I'm with you on this one. I can't stand her.

Bi*tch please, this woman is an ICON and one of very few entertainers out their today who are true to the art and true to the musicianship of the art. Are you an idiot? of course she deserves to be on the cover, she is a powerful black woman, if she is a whore then so are you, you don't know anything about this woman and to call her out of her name based on rumors and false information, is uncalled for I hope and pray that if you have daughters or you ever have any that they are given the exact same level of respect that you have shown her, and that they are judged as you have judged her for any and all actions right or wrong. You people kill me, you are trying to discredit who she is and what she has done for music and for the black community over ifnormation that you know nothing about? Only you ignorant black people keep falling for this mess, the real mediat, the mainstream media and credible media won't even touch this because they see the flaws in the story, even TMZ who is the bottom of the barrell won't touch this, but you idiots continue to drink it in and sit behind your computers and spew filth and hate, but it will come back to you when you least expect it, by way of your children. Good Luck with that.

Alicia Keys is on the COVER of ESSENCE because she is TALENTED, BEAUTIFUL, RELEVANT and ELEGANT! She is also a newly MARRIED woman and MOTHER. Essence FACT CHECKS and they know very well that Alicia Keys is an inspiration and not anything LESS. If the Mashonda charges were valid ESSENCE would have asked her about them and noted her response. That is what RESPONSIBLE Journalist do. This matter was not even mentioned because it's not even TRUE! Essence is not a BLOG or TWITTER. They don't engage in CHEAP lies, fake stories or GOSSIP. Mashonda has proven herself to be a BITTER and DESPERATE woman. If you want to know the type of woman Mashonda is just look at the things she has done. 1. She went on Twitter to LIE about Alicia Keys to make herself look like some victim. FAIL! 2. In her entire Twitter rant only one person was attacked..... Alicia Keys because she knew that would get her internet attention. She never mentioned her HUSBAND or the fact that he cheated on her LONG before Alicia was in the picture. Nor was she honest about the status of their relationship. Or the fact that Swizz was legally separated from her or in the process of a DIVORCE. 3. Since her Twitter rant ONLY urban blog have been posting about her because the URBAN FEMALE readers have taken her lies and run with them because they related to her status as a rejected and "wronged" female. TYPICAL. 4. Mashonda has used her new "fame" to get a book deal and a Vh-1 show that promotes other groupies who do anything for the rappers in their lives (even propose to them), while the men laugh and deny them. GHETTO! 5. Mashonda runs on to the cover of TRASHY Men's magazines like KING to live her dreams of looking a Video whore exposing herself for MEN! Alicia Keys is the same person she has always been. She is a strong and progressive LADY with morals and she did nothing wrong or immoral with Swizz. AK is now married and has a beautiful baby and a progressive WOMAN's MAGAZINE has placed her on the COVER because they know the FACTS of this situation. So STAY MAD!
