I'm Not Hating. I'm Just Stating!



Ok, so here's a quick rant on a personal level that's really not that personal. I'm reading everywhere online that Swizz Beatz, Ruff Ryders producer, mediocre (if that) rapper, and record label owner of Full Surface, has addressed and finally admitted that he and Ms. Alicia Keys, multi grammy winning R&B singer/songwriter, are an item.

On Drake's Best I Ever Had remix, Swizz raps...

"I wake up in the morning and my baby cooked me breakfast / Ass naked, nothing on but a necklace / Yeah, she be shining on me / she be gleaming on me / she be singing on me / I know you love it don't ya / and we be traveling our ass off / you could see the proof, it's all in our passports / Yeah, she say she wanna treat me like a king / I get big gifts, the money ain't a damn thing / She gave me a party at the Guggenheim / ya should've seen them haters, they lost they minds / Only God ccan judge me / What's next? The ring? The baby? She really loves me!"

Like I said. Mediocre. If that.

Swizz claims he's in love with Keys and she did, in fact, throw him a birthday party at that museum.

Pulled the following from an interview with Swizz:

"But we're nowhere near ready for a baby or a ring," laughs Swizz, aka Kasseem Dean. "This whole song is not about Alicia. The part about her cooking breakfast for me naked — she never done that for me."

Swizz was quiet about Keys till now because, he says, "What we have is so precious." He also felt it would piss off his ex, Mashonda.

"When he told Mashonda he was dating Alicia, I think she got jealous," says a friend of the couple.

Having filed for divorce in February, Mashonda is seeking interim support for their 2-year-old son, Kasseem Jr., arguing that Swizz has slashed his payments.

"He's been tightening the screws on her," says a friend of Moshanda. "It's becoming intolerable. Meanwhile, she's seen the charges for jewelry he's bought Alicia in France."


Regardless. Personally, I think dude's a douchebag. I mean, I don't know him so I can only assume he is from what he portrays in the public and through his work. I couldn't believe it when I first heard she was dating her previous producer Kerry "Krucial" Brothers, who may or may not still be working with her. Not my girl. Nah. Then I'm getting asked if she was dating Common because of the amount of appearances in the videos together, in addition to the movie Smoking Aces. Now, if it was Common, I couldn't hate. Dude's an ill MC. Makes great music. He's gaining acting experience. Just saying. They both quality stars.

But now this? Swizz Beatz? You're kidding me, right? It's like she took a few steps down. This has got to be a joke. A hoax. A sham. A friend of mine goes on to tell me, "There must be something about him she likes that the general public isn't exposed to." Right. (Said with extreme sarcasm.) I'll bet my bank account this won't last. I know they're both born in NY, make music, and what have you. But still. I'm not co-signing this facade. Just not.

Rumor has it that Alicia's a reason Swizz and Mashonda divorced. In an interview with Shade 45’s Lip Service with Angela Yee and Leah Rose, R&B singer Mashonda spoke candidly about her estranged husband's, Swizz Beatz, alleged infidelity with eleven-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys.

From Hip Hop Pop Crunch's website, Mashonda talks about the situation...


I don't know what Miss Keys is thinking or what she's going through but she knows I am not going to be waiting forever for her. So someone better tell her to quit playing games and get her head straight. Forget that dude. Ya know who she should be with. And if you don't, I'll let you know. "It's me, bitches!" Hahahaha! Oh, and I hope ya readers aren't taking me that serious. I'm just saying. That's wifey. Besides, Q and I got beef with each other over her. We go way back but he knows the deal. Hahaha.

  1. You won't be waiting forever? Well that might be the truth but if you met A.K. in ten years and you had a woman and A.K. wanted to get with you, don't tell me you wouldn't. LOL
