Mashonda Gets at Alicia Keys
And the drama begins! Mashonda, who is the wife of super producer, Swizz Beatz, took to Twitter to ask Alicia Keys some questions regarding her relationship with her
On Saturday 26th September 2009, @MashondaLoyal said:
After having a great evening with my son and enjoying some fun twit chat, I decided to sign off and get some work done. However, a few hours later I was advised that I should check @aliciakeys twit page. I’ve never reached out to her on twitter before. I feel our issues are a lot more serious than a website conversation. Not to mention that I’ve reached out to her many times in the beginning of this whole thing, as any wife would do. Unfortunately, I never succeeded in getting a response. The 1st time I meet AK, my husband introduced us to each other at an event. ( I have no choice but to call him my husband, until he is not anymore) In the messages that I sent to her (AK), I made it very clear that on the contrary of what she might be hearing, I am still married to my husband, living with him and just had a child. Its been two years and I still have not received a response. What I do receive, is constant displays of selfishness and disconcern to me and my son.
I was a fan of AK’s last album, we were both signed to J Records and I always checked up on her projects. I sang her songs and admired her for creating Superwoman and Karma, I would never deny her, her talent. I believed in her until I found out she was possibly sleeping with my husband. The affair was denied by both, until it was finally admitted months later.
Already I can hear some of you saying ” why are u blaming her, You cant make someone leave their wife, You cant break something thats broken”. Well, my marriage was not broken, as far as I knew we were celebrating our sons birth and getting ready to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary . Call it blind love, whatever. I call it being a devoted wife.. As far as me blaming her and not blaming him, thats false. Me and my husband have worked out our differences. We are in a good place as people and as parents. I accept his choices and I am comfortable enough with myself to move on. I am so very blessed in many ways.
My concern with AK is no longer the fact that she assisted in destroying a family but that she has the audacity to make these selfish comments about love and wanting to be with someone, even after knowing their situation. How is this the same Superwoman that I sang out loud with in my truck? I ask myself sometimes.
If you are reading this Alicia, let me start by saying, you know what you did. You know the role you played and you know how you contributed to the ending of my marriage. You know that I asked you to step back and let me handle my family issues. Issues that you helped to create.
Im not saying everything was perfect all the time but no relationship is perfect. We made a vow to God and I believe you should have respected that, as a woman. I know you owe me or my son nothing but I just wish you would’ve handled things more carefully. I’m not judging you, I put you and the whole situation in the hands of God, the Higher Power. Just know that as a woman, I expected so much more from you. I never had intentions on reaching out to you this way but after reading your twits tonight, and the constant disregard, you left me no choice. I feel that after 1 and a half years of you hiding this affair and acting like it doesnt exist, that now is the time to confront it, since you talk so openly about it nowThis is not a publicity stunt, I dont have a record coming out. I just need to close this chapter in my life and that means confronting our issues. There is a small child involved. His dad loves him to death and he wants to spend more time with him but hes afraid because he knows we don’t have a relationship. This is my main concern. My son NEEDS his dad and I NEED to be comfortable with you. For him!
I know many will see my point and many will not be able to look into what’s real because they only want to see Alicia Keys the celebrity, not the human. This is not for the “people”, this is for you. Like I said I was left no choice but to reach out to you this way. By now, Im sure you want to find a balance in this as well.
I read your tweets tonight and I felt they were very insensitive. You have no idea how much pain I was caused because of this affair. Its baffling to me that you don’t understand what I might have gone through with this situation. I dont consider myself a victim anymore, Ive learned alot from this! I just ask you to try and be a bit more realistic and delicate to the situation, at least until my divorce is final. I felt me attending the party would have been a starting point for us, since you shook my hand after I offered it, but I suppose I was wrong.
If its so, that you and my husband are meant to be together, then God bless you both and I hope you never have to deal with what I did. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. If you two being together forever is the case, its more of a reason for us to get along, because I’m not going anywhere. Theres a child to be raised.
To answer your tweet, choose smart over spark. Sparks burn everyone, be smart! Its simple actually, just think of the shoe being on the other foot.
Stay blessed and lets work this thing out with respect and dignity. SOURCE

While I understand MaShonda's hurt, I would respect her much more if she simply came out and said that she was still bitter about what happened. At some point you have to let go for to maintain you awn sanity. MaShonda is clearly still deeply bothered by what happened, and hasn't dealt with her issues the way she claims to have. She still seems like she thinks AK OWES her an explanation. While i'm not saying that AK doesn't share any blame, she certainly does not OWE MaShonda an explanation. She says that her and Swizz have dealt with their issues, well honey that's all that is owed to you. I suggest that MaShonda go see a therapist and really says what she feels about the situation. The fact that she is still seeking an explanation from the other woman clearly shows that she is still very much bitter about the situation.

I do look at her different but the home was probably already broken I blame swizz beatz lol
September 26th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
While I understand Mashonda being hurt and everything Alicia doesn't owe her ANYTHING! That should be taken up with her ex. It would be nice if Alicia found the time to talk to her but she doesn't HAVE to. In my opinion the marriage was already over, she just didn't want to believe it. I'm pretty sure Swizz didn't just wake up one day and decided to see other people, it was a long time coming and Mashonda was just too blind to realize. I feel like Alicia did her a favor in waiting a few months after they (Mashanda and Swizz) filed for divorce to come out and say something. I just think it's crazy how she's saying 'Oh me and Swizz are cool now' but she's still feeling some sort of way towards Alicia. So it's okay for your former husband to cheat on you but you still have hard feelings towards the woman that has NO ties to you at all? Umm, yeah, I don't understand that part. But whatever the case is I hope all parties can come to some type of agreement. And we all know Alicia isn't even going to waste her time replying to this, lol.
September 26th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
Blah Blah & Blah. If Mashonda wants to talk to Alicia, trust me, she'll do it in real life. If you need to air out your frustrations, don't tweet about that sh*t especially if everyone knows who you are, and it involves a steamy love triangle. Tweet them out if no one knows the person, the ol' slick undercover rant. Anywho, AK is too smart of a woman to hit up ol' chick because she has better things to do, than respond to drama which will create more drama.
September 28th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought AK thought it was cool to bring her relationship to the light. She's been lying from the beginning, saying that she was engaged to Crucial Keys, I believe. Anyhow, we are all humans, but AK is a hypocrite – singing about female togetherness & empowerment, yet doing the exact opposite. I no longer respect her. I won't be purchasing another album. I might just be one ex-fan, but every fan counts. And hell yeah, I'd still be bitter. Esp. considering the fact that AK introduced Mashonda & Swizz. The broad is just dirty. Marriage is a serious thing. And the funny thing about it, AK thinks they are meant to be …. Can't wait 'til she finds out different. How you get your man is how you will lose him.
September 28th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
Hey Nadi,
I don't agree w/ the "men will be men" sentiment, b/c it's like allowing men to roam free as loose dogs w/ no responsibility for their actions. But I do agree w/ the other woman taking responsibility for the action & role that she's played. AK is completely selfish & will get hers as well. Everyone knows Swizz will get his. Even Jade Pinkett came out years later & says that she wished she would have stepped back when Will was getting his divorce from his wife.
September 28th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
AK is not the one that owes Mashonda a explination. Her "husband" does. The fact that she keeps saying he cheated…he had an affair…and then still calls him her "husband" and we are still married is kinda sad. its a classic case of a women not knowing how to let go. if her & Swizz have agreed on a divorce and are friends and will take care of their son together then she needs to move on. she comes off very bitter in this letter. plus AK proly aint even thinking about her.
September 28th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
i feel the same. Swizz is the one to blame. he was married to her not AK. But in her letter she states that they are cool now and friends. Its typical…Women finds out about husbands mistress and blames it all on the mistress. even if the mistress didnt know anything about the wife/girlfirend. wife/girlfriend starts calling the other womans phone all crazy..send letters. women need to place the blame on the person you are in the relationship with. he is the one that cheated on you.
September 28th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
The only reason Alicia gets a pass on being a home wrecker is because I thought she was gay, for real. Now I just think she's bi.
September 28th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
The reality is that Alicia SHOULD NOT talk to the ex-wife.
What's that gonna do but start a catfight? How's Alicia gonna explain the actions of the woman's ex-husband? Alicia didn't molest Swiss's d*ck without his consent!
Also, frankly, I consider the Twitter stalking to be uncouth, tacky, and silly on the ex-wife's part. She's trying to get attention and make out like Alicia is avoiding her. The reality is that chick is another nameless, faceless person in the darn world. Alicia doesn't need to make time for her.
September 28th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Clearly, Mashonda is a delusional stalker. What real woman acts like that? If the man doesn’t want you, move on. I really hate weak females and Mashonda is a very weak female.
October 5th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
i dated a guy that was going through a divorce before it was final. i didn’t think much of it because it the guy was already moved out of his place and starting a new life before i even came along. even so, when the soon to be ex-wife got wind that i was seeing her soon to be ex-husband she flipped out. at that point, i knew it was wrong because in her mind there was still hope for them to save their marriage but her now ex-husband was so in love with me that he didn’t give it a second thought. now that i look back, i do wish that i would have backed off and allowed them time to work out their differences and see if their marriage could be salvaged b/c now me and dude aren’t even together. that’s why mashonda is pissed and wants answers. however, she should be saying all of this to a therapist, not airing out her personal life on twitter.
December 10th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
I hope somebody fucks your man (if you have one) then see if you still feel the same way, silly ho.
December 18th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
I Mashonda can prove that they were cheating prior to her separation from the big nose bastard, she needs to sue AK for alienation of affection (that's if it applies in her state). If you hurt, make them hurt.
January 1st, 2010 at 8:12 am
It's not like Mashonda can call Alicia Keys whenever she wants to. Plus, I'm pretty sure Alicia Keys is busy with the album out and all.
January 1st, 2010 at 8:34 am
Tweeting/Twitter-"The Little Birdie Told Me"
Be prepared you all, because I'm going to say some different thoughts.
1. I personally don't want to believe that Alicia Keys would be "the other woman". I hope she's smarter than that. I agree with many that she, Alicia Keys, and even Swiss Beats, should talk, privately, to each other. It would be a little awkward for Alicia Keys though. What the hell is she going to say?
2. It would be one thing if they were still together, but they are divorcing until it becomes final. Swiss Beats, obviously, moved on. Apparently, Mashonda didn't.
3. I repeat. Tweeting/Twitter-"The Little Birdie Told Me". You might as well sell it to the tabloids.
January 1st, 2010 at 6:02 pm
amen
January 1st, 2010 at 6:22 pm
it's funny how you say AK has better things to do than respond to drama which will create more drama"– last time I checked, the person that chooses to SLEEP WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S HUSBAND is the one creating the drama. If she had enough time and was woman enough to lay down and do it, then she needs to have enough time and be woman enough to deal with the mess she helped create. If AK and Swizzy stay together, then she's gonna have to face the music at some point, because there will be some, even if minimal, interaction between her and Mashonda because of the baby….when it's all said and done, Swizzy and AK were completely wrong and totally disregarded a holy union before God, whether they were having marital problems are not, he should've tried to work it out with her instead of running to AK. She lost major points for this one
January 1st, 2010 at 6:55 pm
preach!
January 2nd, 2010 at 2:47 am
I wonder if AK has tried sleeping with a broken heart. but it doesnt mean anyting to AK because she thinks love is blind. I loss much respect for AK after this. Her music doesnt reaflect the woman that she really is.
as for Mashonda stop putting everyone in on ya business. if she wont talk to you then thats that.
January 8th, 2010 at 4:32 am
We live in a society that feels that if two people destroy a relationship because of cheating only the married person is supposed to get the heat. Alicia met this woman and knew of the marriage. She is dead wrong and deserves an asssssswhooopin!!! Once you know dude is married, he and you know your wrong. Mashonda can feel anyway she wants and do it however she wants. If she wants to walk up and beat fire outta ole girl she can because Ms. Keys knew intentionally what she was doing. Instead of being compassionate adults they were assh les and hurt and scarred someone and put a hole in hers and an innocent childs heart. Yes one day she will move on. But people on here are being cold unrealistic and totally dishonest about how they would be if this sh-t happened to them. It's not even that they fell for each other, its the fkked up way they did it. It only shows this society is filled with hateful selfish uncaring and inconsiderate people who only care for what they stand to gain. They should be ashamed. You just dont live like animals and take whatever you want. You have class and dignity about your sh-t. You handle yours like a virtuous woman. Let the man leave her in a dignigfied fashion.
January 12th, 2010 at 5:00 am
What comes around goes around. Her husband will get served in due time and so shall Alicia. Its one thing to be with a man/woman that lied about his status and its another to knowingly be with a married man/woman…it takes two. I hate the word bitter….she's just bitter…who wouldn't be. Maybe she feels putting her info or Twitter will generate a response from AK. Shit who doesnt know about Swizz & AK, especially those in the Industry. So does even matter if its on Twitter? This world is so fucked up. People think RIGHT IS WRONG and WRONG IS RIGHT.
January 25th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
yea…um… i think she could've talked to alicia keys another way. "I have no choice" whatever… I still have respect for Alicia… i don't know why people would loose any.
February 24th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
Mashonda is deluded for real! Alicia does not owe you or your son anything. She said she's moved on, but that's a lie. To have moved on, would be to leave this issue as it is. I'm married and have been for years. We all know, people cheat. Some cheat once and only once, then go back to their spouse. Others are routine cheaters. Her man cheated, and she thought she could appeal to the other woman. Some women are deep enough to remove themselves from that type of situation. Obviously Alicia is not that type of woman. Mashonda is playing herself out as someone who is still in love with this man, and feelings are hurt, yet she is not ashamed to keep her business in the street. Whatever relationship her son and ex has, will be. She sounds like she really, (secretly) hopes to somehow get back with him. She is not at the point where she's over this situation, and is still weak and vulnerable to him. Having a baby does not gurantee a relationship/married with that baby's daddy. Funny how the baby came along at a time when the marriage was ending. Sounds a little suspect to me.
February 24th, 2010 at 2:56 pm
***PART TWO*** Don't get me wrong, personally I would never go after a man I know is married. I would not allow myself to be involved in that type of drama. One reason being, people get killed over mess like that. But mainly because my self-esteem and the content of my character is such, that I would be above that situation. We all believed Alicia was a strong self-evolved sister/woman, and a "do the right thing" type of chick. Apparently she is not. But Mashonda needs to stop blaming all her woes and problematic marriage on Alicia. If I was Alicia I would not answer her needy azz on Twitter either. First I'd think it was a fake tweeting some needy bi**h sh*t like that publically. If she feels Alicia was the catalyst to her marriage breaking up and falling apart, then she should name her as a co-conspirator and sue her azz. And for her husband, she should take the mo-fo to the cleaners, and leaving him standing in the rain butt naked…..drain his azz!

Couldn't have said it better!!!
April 13th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
Well, a man can't cheap by himself!!! There's no way I will knowingly mess around with a married man. When people get together and promise GOD that they will do right by the person they have chosen to marry I wish the person that does get in the middle think they are "A OKAY" and it's between the couple only. That is no longer the case when you decided to be the third wheel, I personally have a fear of God and don't play that game. I don't care who the person is, it's not worth what some call Karma ( I say God don't like ugly) ! But like they say you do you, and I'll do me.

June 9th, 2010 at 4:34 am
I am so damn appalled by some these comments! Swiz and Alicia owe this woman an explanation!! They are BOTH in the wrong! How could you not have any fuck**** compassion for someone you have hurt! That is some straight-ass selfish sh**! That's ok because "it's called KARMA baby, and it goes around!"

A woman’s worth ( Zero hypocrisy, home-wrecking version)
A real man should know that the mistress come first.
And a real woman should know that whatever she does, a superwoman will take her man (Chorus: Yes! Superwhore will take your man).
And a real woman should stop believing this karma bullshit, and steal her best friend’s husband. (chorus: Eish! You can cry a river, you sorry wife)
And a real man will know that it’s time to replace that boring wife with those sagging breasts.
And a real woman doesnt give a dime that she is from the hardships of single mother households, and will strive to be an architect of more others herself.
And a real man knows that nice guys finish last.
And a real woman will know how to choose spark over smart.
And a real woman doesn’t give a dime whether it lasts as long as she is having the time of her life.
And a real man, married or not, will know how to appreciate a bitch’s worth.
And a real woman will know how to project a truelady’s image, whilst acting bitch in the background.
And a real man will know how to appreciate Alicia’s worth.
These lyrics are not meant to encourage deviant, immoral behaviour but actually calls you to practice exactly the opposite. Taken together with this commentary, the motive is to show you that 1. People are not what they seem to be. U probably know that but an average apparently underestimates this. Be on guard and trust only God No 2 When u say or sing morals and inspirations, u multiply yo culpability when u practce exactly the opposite. People wouldnt have given a dime if Paris Hilton had done exactly the same. No 3 These lyrics give a hint what a certain superwoman (or superwhore, depending on yo perspective) sings to that guy with the stupid name, during foreplay lol!!!!!!!!!!
alicia has now got herself in a fix. If a union is shrouded in evil and inappropriateness, asking God for blessing is futile, no blessings will be given. 2 The day Alicia or that Swiss playboy decide to treminate the relationship, the world will be on Alicia as in: I told you so 3 The more the delay in ending this union, the more it carries through the years, the more the damage there is (ask Whitney Houston)and the more there is career-limiting, unrecoverable damage 3 Alicia will suffer more than Swiss. Society is much more judgemental on women than men. Now Alicia is now the superw***** whereas Swiss is the the ultimate playboy with a savvy sense of provident *****es. After all is said and done, please let us remember the poor innocent kids caught up in the mess of cheap adults chasing materialism, joys of flesh and ‘spark’. May God bless them and forgive their parents. PS I fully support Alicia on her orphanage initiative. But it doesnt help when u join the homewrecking brigade that is the major cause of these very orphans! What an own goal!
now this alicia shit cant no longer sing A woman’s worth or Karma without sounding hypocritical. She should start writings songs based on themes such as husband-stealing or blow-jobs. Collaborations with Snoopy Dogg cant be a bad idea
July 5th, 2010 at 12:57 am
Why do people always run to twitter or facebook Why???? its nothing that twitter or facebook can do to someone so i mean…… And swizz beats said he left her cause she didnt want him having a relationship with his other son so….
July 5th, 2010 at 7:18 pm
Boo hoo!! Months later I still say the same way you got him is the same way you lost him Mashonda. On top of that Alicia doesn't owe HER an explanation. When a person cheats, you don't need to go to the "other woman/man;" handle that with your mate. Alicia doesn't owe her a damn thing, celebrity or not. Now that alicia is big and pregnant and they were seen hugging at the bet awards, expect another letter from mashonda. *yawn*

Bottom line A.K was wrong fo dealing w a married man, she should have been a respectable woman and at least waited till they were divorced, this speaks volumes about her music.
I pray A.K , & Swizz pray and ask for forgiveness , and then ask Mashonda to forgive them, and work out something for the kids sake.
August 4th, 2010 at 3:00 am
Wow I agree with the last comment, I was in a similiar situation as you. I dated a guy who was separated from his wife and kids. They lived in different states so I didnt give their situation a second thought. We began dating and living together, once she got wind of me and my kids she flipped out and began trying to get things back together. But I wasnt having it. Believe me when I say, I have not a good relationship with this man. Even though we are married I shouldve let him go. AK if you are reading any of this you will pay dearly for the part you played, Everything in this world comes full circle and a Tiger doesnt change their stripes. He will do it to you

This situation can truly be looked at in many ways. However because ther are children involved, out of respect for them it does not need to be broadcasted all over the media. AK, Mashonda, and Swizz are very much grown, and need to handle this situation. NOT ON TWITTER though.

Shawn Carter and Beyonce Knowles please educate your circle of friends.
August 20th, 2010 at 11:59 am
Obviously – you have never dealt with a hurt as deep as Mashonda's – She will be hurting for a while…even if she does not realize it. So give her a break – She's not desperate – she is trying to cope for the sake of her child.
