Swizz Beatz's Wife Blasts Alicia Keys in Open Letter


They say all is fair and love and war, and producer Swizz Beatz's soon-to-be ex-wife Mashonda is taking that saying literally. The singer took a very public jab at her ex's new lady, Alicia Keys, in an open letter penned to the piano-clad singer.

Mashonda's verbal exchange with Keys started in response to a question posed by the Grammy winner on Twitter. "Having a heated debate in the studio," Keys wrote. "[In] love is it better to go [for] the choice that is 'SMART,' or the choice that has 'SPARK?'

After catching wind of said post Mashonda published her letter to Keys: "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," Mashonda wrote. "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 Harlem native goes on to describe her first encounter with Keys by way of an introduction from Swizz himself. Mashonda also made it clear that despite their pending divorce she still calls Swizz her "husband" until the split is legally finalized. "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. It's 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.

"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."

"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. It's baffling to me that you don't understand what I might have gone through with this situation. I don't consider myself a victim anymore, I've learned a lot 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."

Since news of their hook-up broke last summer both Swizz and Keys have remained mum on the subject. Keys reportedly threw Swizz a birthday party, and the two were recently photographed having an intimate dinner in the South of France.

Neither Swizz nor Keys' camp have responded to Mashonda's letter.

I feel that no one from the outside can actually enter the married life of another without the consentual nod of the spouse and or/ spouses involved. Allowing themselves to be pursued or becoming the pursuer. I will never know Alicia as a person or her role in this, but what I thought she was like was a woman who would not give a married man the time of day. Someone who would never want to be the cause of a man leaving his family. Just seemed like that was her demeanor. I didn't think the man she would fall in love w/ and ultimately marry would come into her life as a result of infidelity.

It sucks. They're both to blame....and what goes around comes around. I just can't believe AKs would actually do that knowing he's married not that he's not to blame either but come on ladies there are so many people out there why go after someone else's man

Ms Mashonda cut the drama! How can u blame Alicia for the fact you married a man who is sick with common unfaithful traits. He was going to leave you anyway evenually rather it was for Alicia or another women...You knew who he was before marrying him. His relationship history is obvious....2 other kids besides your 1? You were not an exception to his whorish ways. Both of you woman are stupid but you seem to not have any class. Being a grown women Ms Mashonda you are totally immature, insecure and unbalanced. Blasting Alica...Shame on you being so ghetto here online....Ridiculous blaming another women for bad marriage decision. Nothing but the dog in Mr. Swiss Beats...Ha! You didn't know????? She is the "it girl"...But Alicia will acknowledge his doggish behavior within her own time. Some men are sick...it is a condition which will continue to go unnoticed. Honestly he needs medical attention. I love Alicia as an artist but common sense as a beautiful women she is lacking...Her publicize embarassing moment will happen too..Cuz what goes around as they say comes around...He did it to Mashonda....He will do it in time to Alicia! She not special just like you WAS NOT...it a has nothing to do with physical appearance obviously. :-(

They were certainly lovely dovey at the awards. Its funny how money and tv makes u ooh and aww folks when they're wrong. Its all the same angelina. Leann rhymes. All the way back to elizabeth taylor. Some women do not care. And its between them and God about what they r doing. Being cheated on myself I u/stand the hurt behind it but I also know it takes two and these men can very easily say no. Seems like a career boost to me. Let's just hope these folks aren't raising these kids to repeat their bad decisions. I feel 4 the wives and do believe no matter how much a humanitarian u r or how much money u give God knows your true insides and your skeletons u try to hide.

AK is a real bird! Not only did she contribute to the demise of a marriage, he wasn't even divorced yet before she allowed herself to become pregnant with his seed. That's a real bird move! Regardless of whether he and Mashonda were together, they were still legally married and residing in the same home when her and Swizz started kickin it. She's a hood rat! A hood rat with money, but her actions are those of a hood rat none the less.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS!!! NO DEAL ALICIA...... SWIZZ DIDN'T TAKE HIS VOWS SERIOUSLY THE FIRST TIME EVIDENTALLY IF HE'S OUT CHEATING WITH YOU. PLEASE KNOW GOD IS NOT GOING TO HONOR YOUR MARRIAGE BECAUSE HE COMMITED ADULTRY WITH YOU. IF SWIZZ THINK MARRING YOU IS GOIN TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT THEN HE'S WRONG BECAUSE TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT...#1 SWIZZ WRONG FOR ENTERTAINING THE IDEA OF CHEATING AND #2 THEN FOLLOING THROUGH BY HAVING SEX WITH SOMEONE BESIDES HIS WIFE.....JUST KNOW THAT WHEN HE DO MARRY YOU Y'ALL WILL STILL BE COMMITTING ADULTRY !!! WHEN YOU MAKE A VOW/PROMISE TO GOD YOU DON'T WANT TO BREAK IT.....ON TOP OF THAT A CHILD IS BEING HARMED IN THE PROCESS......LIKE I SAID NO DEAL...

I think its so sad that all of all the men AK couldve had she settles for a married one. Carma is real and she may as well get ready for the same thing to be done to her. Good singer but I'll never look at her the same again! To all who feel that Mashonda deserved it, I dont care what kind of wife she was, she was still his wife! Get divorced THEN start new realationship.

I know it's the "industry" but come on . . . adultress! Oh! no! It's the industry. And we all want to be like them? What happened to loyalty, commitment and respect. I don't care how many beats you make, keys you hit, marriage is sacred. That's what's wrong with America today. We accept these behaviors and wonder why our kids are pregnant teens, drug addicts and worse killers. Not to blame others for our social problems but if all we can expect from our "stars" is this "crap" then I say stop making music, movies and theatre. They are no better than Brad and Angelina! It's not okay! And to address Moshanda's looks -- she is more attractive than Alicia. She has darker skin but if you look at Alicia's "dead eye" and her big nose you will understand she's not all pretty at all. Just my thoughts.
