Swizz Beatz Addresses Rumors Of Affair With Alicia Keys
June 17th, 2008 | Posted in Celebrity Gossip
Super-producer Swizz Beatz recently sat down with MTV News to address rumors that he’s divorcing his wife, Mashonda, to be with Grammy Award-winning singer Alicia Keys.
“Everybody can have their fun right now talking that dumb shit about my divorce and all that. I’mma give them something to talk about. People get divorced every fuckin’ day. They need to worry about more serious things.”
The big rumor in the tabloids is that Swizz and his wife broke up over the proverbial “other woman.” What made the story so sensational was that the alleged mistress in this case was Grammy winner Alicia Keys. Swizz dismissed it.
“It ain’t even bad. My divorce, it ain’t nothing bad. It’s just us moving on. Me and Shonda are super good. It is what it is. [The press] are nine months late on the situation. It’s a headache to me. We been separated nine or 10 months already. I’m not hiding anything,” he added. “I can see if I was hiding something. I’m a grown man. Nobody is living no perfect life. Mashonda has a single coming out that I funded, photo shoots that I funded. We made our statement that we’re still working together. They didn’t wanna believe it. I said I would be continuing to support her career. Nobody wants to look at that shit. They wanna look at ‘Alicia Keys.’ That shit is ignorant.”
