DAYYUMMM Mashonda… Swizzy just called you out saying that you made up all these things thinking that you would get a TV show. Mashonda will be back on Twitter in 5…4…3…2…1

  • 2Sweet

    They were an attractive family though.

  • Lovely One

    Swizz Beats oldest child is 8 but he’s been with Mashonda for 10 years. YOU DO THE MATH.

    I doubt this was about his child, but he will find any excuse to justify his cheating ways.

    @ Lovely One

    Co-sign..
    No matter how he wanna justify his ‘legal separation’, his azz was still legally married…
    til the ink is good and dry on them divorce papers, u are still a married man.

  • http://bossip jamie

    That is hard to beleive his oldest son is too cute. If she acted like that which I am not sure I beleive, that means she is the one who received the karma not Akeys.I don’t beleive him it is what it is. He fell out of love with his wife and moved on. I am pretty sure Akeys slept with him before he decided to kick rocks on Mushonda, thats what gave him the courage, or a reason to leave and I bet money.He probably was happy with Mushonda but when AK came along thats when he got to dreaming up problems ” oh she don’t like my son” what she like him before AK came into the picture and I am sure Akeys don’t fool with none of the kids. I bet she don’t babysit and he knows not to ask her, he don’t won’t those feelings hurt.

  • VA666

    I don’t buy it. There’s problems in all marriages but you work through them. It sounds like Ms. Keys helped him get over his problems real quick! lol

  • Miss u much MJJ

    Right now it’s he said, she said and there are ALWAYS two sides to the story. I am glad that Swizzy told his side.
    If this is true, it happens more than people think.
    My friend called off an engagement because his fiance was trying to make him choose between her and his two sons. Everytime he went over to his ex-wife’s house to see the kids she got jealous. The ex-wife had MOVED on and remarried but the fiance was acting all crazy.
    He dropped that chick with a quickness. My friend loves his boys more than his own life. He is the TOTAL opposite of a dead beat dad and this chick was forcing him to choose.
    SMH!!!!!!!!

  • Miss u much MJJ

    Adendum:
    There are 3 sides to every story. Her side, his side & THE TRUTH!

  • !!!!!

    PROLLY SO.

  • http://BOSSIP Ana

    I do not beleive him, that story is too lame. It had to be all about AK. Why did he go on tour with AK? This is a cover up. He had to be sleeping with AK all along, and his wife found out, made noise, and he is up itwith that wishy washy story that I do not buy it, sorry.

  • LOVELYY.

    who the hell cares its over and done with this is a story from two sides .. if he was with alicia keys during the marriage then it is what is .. why are people blaming Alicia Keys for thier divorce the last time i checked it was Swizz Beats that was married .. This happens EVERYDAY why isit any different from people we see on TV.

  • CAT EYES

    I just can’t understand people–if you can’t accept a person’s child,how can you say you love the person?The child will always be there.If a person can’t accept that,they should just find someone who doesn’t have any.If its true he had this baby while married to her,she still could have just left it alone then instead of trying to make someone choose.There’s no way a person should EVER choose anyone over their own child.

  • bizz0

    swizz beatz oldest child is 10 turning 11 and it takes 9 months to carry a baby…….. do the math!

  • Mrs.Laadee

    Why is it so hard for people to believe that Alicia was not the reason for their marriage breaking up? They had been having problems for 10 yrs. Honestly, Swizz should have divorced Mashonda a long time ago before she even had a chance to have a baby. That’s why Masonda is really so upset b/c she thought even though her and Swizz were having problems, and had been for so long, that her having that baby would keep them together.

  • DAYWALKER(THE DAYDREAM!!!)

    If Mashonda did that, then that’s just wrong! No man wants to have to choose between his child and his woman, and if they really do care, they won’t! I don’t even have any kids, but if I did, I’d be damned if I wouldn’t have a good relationship with them just because a woman I was married to had a problem with it. Your kids didn’t ask to come here, and by virtue of you bringing them here, you have a responsibility to be a part of their lives and love them, be there for them, support them, and take care of them…Even if you aren’t with their mother..Shame on her if she did that!!

  • DAYWALKER(THE DAYDREAM!!!)

    @CAT EYES:

    I totally Agree, ma!! Good point!

    —————————
    That child looks a little younger than 10 to me. Regardless, I’ve read reports that Swizz & Mashonda have been dating since 1998.

  • REE

    Cute kids though!! Shame on Mashonda if that was the case. Some people are so selfish. It is not all about you 24/7. That child did not ask to be here. She wouldn’t want anyone treating her son like he less than. Damn shame!!

  • impriss00

    in my opinion and its “MY” opinion

    If some1 is’nt Happy in there Relationship or Marriage why Stay?

    why accept that?….Let it burn and dont use that lame excuse FOR THE KIDS!!

    If AK is who he fills at this time makes him Happy enuff to leave them i’m Happy for him.

    Moshanda is supposidly a smart woman and she is definatly beautiful she will find the Man that will Make her happy and she him.

    Move on!!

  • Sticky-n-Sweet

    If the boy is 8, and they’ve been together for ten years, then the child isn’t the problem, the fact that you cheated on her is…

  • Truth Tella

    I never knew he had another kid, shorty was underwraps…

  • Really??????

    If the boy is 8, and they’ve been together for ten years, then the child isn’t the problem, the fact that you cheated on her is…

    I can’t wait till he cheats on Alecia so then maybe she’ll sleep wit a broken heart too…

    Men will say anything to justify thier cheating ways.

    Notice he said we wasn’t “Caught” cheating… He didn’t say he wasn’t out there cheating.
    what a chump…
    SMH

  • peaches

    Whatever he is done with her, has moved on and so should she. Get over it Mashonda because some marriages can’t be saved. Besides Swiss is not missing a beat with Alicia and they seem to be happy.

  • http://BOSSIP Jen

    I want to feel you, touch you, hold you…….try sleeping with a broke heart? He was there, not all the time. So he finally left his wife. Come on …..Switz.

  • Sofia

    I don’t understand why everyone wants ppl to stay in a unhappy marriage, and if they chose not to ,they are cheaters,homewreckers. It doesn’t make sense. Who doesn’t TO BE HAPPY, LIVE YOUR LIFE SWIZZ.

    And I’m married, I dont want anyonewho doesn’t want me!!!!!!!!!

  • IDONTLIKEU

    SWIZZY TALKIN ISH NOW I GUESS AK LET HIM HOLD HER BALLS! EQUALS HUH THAT’S SOME FUNNY ISH CAUSE YOU AREN’T ON AK’S LEVEL. YOUR DREAMING IF YOU THINK YOU’LL EVER BE…JAY AND BEY! MASHONDA SHOULD’VE KICKED YOUR AZZ TO THE CURB LONG TIME IF SHE FELT THE NEED TO CHECK YOUR PHONE. BUT TRUST IT WON’T BE LONG BEFORE AK IS DOING IT TO. MEN CHEAT NOT ALL BUT MOST SO CHECKIN A PHONE COMES WITH THE TERRITORY SOONER OR LATER IT’S GONNA HAPPEN.NOBODY WANTS TO BE PLAYED.NEVER TOO DAMN BUSY TO CHECK THAT PHONE EVEN IF YOUR ON A WORLD TOUR. MASHONDA IT’S TIME TO PUT THIS PUZZYHOLE ON BLAST TV TALK SHOWS AWAIT!

  • sheez-da-truth

    see what people fell to realize is that relationships dont work because your not supposed to be with that person. Waisting ur time with the wrong one U end up not getting to meet the right ones. Thats why you never stick with someone for “the kids” or stay with someone just because ur like we have been through alot all of these years. If your unhappy you need to move on and find the person that will make u happy point blank period…but Ive been a victim of it to. Staying with someone just because we’ve been together or we have kids blah blah blah…but in the end you have to move on..and I found someone better..to eaches own

  • Dr. Pynk {Excuse me while I brag about myself}

    If Mashonda did that, she’s foul. How would she like it (now that she’ll be a single mother) if the next man she dated made HER choose between him and her children? That’s why before we speak or do, we must think.

  • Miss u much MJJ

    @Lovely One
    First I’d like to say that I LOVE that Jackson song
    Second that’s an OLD pic. Mashonda’s son is like 3 or 4 so the older kid is probably like 10 or 11.

  • Sistawithavoice

    Swizz, Mashonda and possibly A Keys know the truth in this situation. All we can do is speculate. Karma is a b and A Keys actually wrote a song about it, so hopefully her involvement in all of this, won’t make her a victim of that big “K” The fact is that he and Mashonda have children and he needs to be there for them and hopefully they can be civil, b/c it’s always them that suffer, not the adults.

  • Miss u much MJJ

    I stand corrected the baby in the pic (Swizzy Jr.) turned 3 in January.

  • bklynsis

    i dont understand why someone would make u choose..but u gotta remember that ur marriage is 1st then anything..ur kids would not have been born if wasnt for the both of u..of course we live in a society that wants us to put things 1st then 2nd then 3rd..so stupid..my husband is my life and my daughter is my life..she is him and she is me!..period..not no who comes 1st or 2nd crap!!..there marriage failed becuz there is no God..u have no one to be accountable to if there is no God!..im sorry but swizz beatz is a dog for trying to sound like he’s the victim! cuz he aint!

  • FiveStar

    Don’t buy what he’s sying. This is how men act…they prob argued about stuff, worked it out, and made up. But men like to add all of the years worth of crap up to equal a reason for divorce. Puhlease! Once you have the make-up $ex then you are not supposed to count those arguements as grounds for divorce. Now he saying she aint his equal. Is that what happen with his son’s Mom?

  • Gucciwoman

    Swizz seems like a BIG liar, he cannot even say a phrase without the “you know I’m saying” and his body language alone says he is lying.

    And why in the world would he have a baby if the woman asked him to choose between this old son and her? He is lying, trying to find a way to justify his cheating way.

    Poor Alicia, I wonder what she sees in this clown, I wouldn’t even give him the time of the day. He is a fake so please people open your eyes and don’t fall for a clown like that. CASE CLOSED!

  • Kimmie – Southern Belle

    He is stupid and if what he’s saying is true, he is also easily lead by females. Now that Keys has him shes going to have to jump through hoops to keep him….

  • http://bossip peter

    Swiss had a baby with a groupie years ago while he and Mashonda were married she was in court when they were going over child support & paternity from a one night stand…so what did he expect hell yea she was going to go thru his phone..I’m sure she was more concern about him going to bump the oldest child mother vs him getting his child…

  • http://bossip peter

    but you live and you learn. plenty of people stay in relationships because of “years” when they know that they have grown apart. plenty of people wait years to get divorced so you can’t be mad ink dried on the paper hell. we not together. they were young what you think you want in your 20s may not be what you want in your 30s it just hurts when you’re in it. relationships takes 2 people and both have to be happy. hopefully swiss learned and he found what makes him happy.

  • resurrected

    Not too many people have the ability to stay the course and many really try… We always think that they next person is better but if you have the same bad habits and the same destructive life patterns you will ruin that relationship as well… When people do wrong they love to blame the party who is there for the moment but the truth is you started the process alone despite the excuses…

    _______________________________________________
    Gotta cosign on that 100% Looking for,or expecting someone to complete you or make you happy is always a recipe for disaster. I have the utmost respect for any couple who can make it long term,but people need to accept that monogamy is a CHOICE! You have every right to expect that promise to be kept to you in a relationship,but the truth is being with one person for the rest of your life is a noble endeavor,but it is far from a realistic one. Now i fully expect someone to cite all types of examples of their parents and grand parents who have been together for a hundred years,and that is all well and good,but those relationships were as much a product of their times than they were anything else. You are going to be attrac ted to other people despite whatever deep and abiding love you have for one another. If you CHOOSE to remain faithful,then great,but if you choose not to,then be HONEST! I do not condone cheating in ANY relationship,but i also understand why some people just can’t make it work,being with just one person as well. It all boils down to choices.If you feel as though the person you are with is enough for you and you can HONESTLY tell yourself that,then by all means go forth and all the best to both of you,but if you know deep down that you can’t be with just one person,then you owe it to yourself as well as the other person to be upfront about that so that they can CHOOSE whether pr not to be with you. I am not anti-marriage,i am PRO-Honesty.

    “You need somebody that’s compatible with you on all levels”
    __________________________________________

    I 110% agree with that!!!

    It’s all about “Chemistry and Compatibility”…

    Chemistry = there are some people that you just get along with really well and just right off the top = just like that!?!?, it’s just there, you either have it or you don’t (*shouldn’t be forced), that x-factor, that “where have you been my whole life” phenomenon, y’all just get along like that, something like peanut butter & jelly…

    Compatibility = Share the same values, opinions & views on various things such as roles, expectations, money, sex, child rearing, etc…

  • shonda

    Marriage is a life long commitment. STICK AT IT. NO EXCUSE UNLESS YOUR BEING BEATEN TO A PULP OR BEING CHEATED ON.

    Interesting…

    Mashonda spoke on the situation…

    Swizzy has finally spoken on the situation…

    Oh yeah, AND even Alicia Keys has spoken on the situation = “Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart”…

    It’s about to be SHOWTIME!!!!!!!

  • Light Seeker

    I believe the brotha. Mashaonda really played herself if you ask me. She should have never went to the public with their private affairs. She wanted a pity party she got one what she didn’t get was her own show. Who cares is the question, she should have been focusing on her relationship. His oldest son should have been like her son. Keeping it 100% and signing off!

  • Redd

    I don’t believe him, he wants people to believe that he is faithful and it was all about his oldest son. He cheated with AK, so just admit it and move on!

  • top ramen shotta

    death to mashonda! lol.

  • http://www.lushesbrownthoughts.blogspot.com/ SoFrolushes

    oldest child 8 – yet with wife 10 yrs – SWIZZ BEATS IS A DAMN CHEAT!!! why do men expect the wife to just welcome the love child if you call it that. he has issues and his cocky go get him into trouble one day.

  • shon jones

    real talk i dont see anything wrong with swizz and alicia being together y should he put his life on hold just because mashonda dont want to give him a divorce. yes technically he is still marrried but he wasn’t happy and they was seperated she need to move on and except it.. Love hurts when one door closes another door opens .we as people is so quick to judge everybody deserves happiness and we as women can be so trifling and deep down inside we know this man dont want us but we try to hold on and make him look bad its like if we r not happy then he cant be happy. Thats not fiar to him and vice versa some men try to hold on as well. y be miserable in a marriage it will only hurts the kids in the long run… let go and let god.

  • the informer

    i do believe him because i know for myself that he didnt cheat or anything. swizz did everything for mashonda he wrote her records signed her to the record label produced her realeasd her album but when mashonda pulled up that he need to choose her or his son from a previous relationship he just ended it and mashonda knew that when swizz left her she would have to work and would probably get dropped by swizz label so she blamed it on alicia keys. Angry bitter women in here need to stop hating on swizz because it was mashondas fault

  • resurrected

    When it is your life you can scream it from the hills if you want, AK and Swizz might not be saying much but there actions speak for itself… Yeah Mashonda could have been quiet but that way that I see it is totally her choice because she lived it.. Why do successful people do chit that will make there professional image look like chit… As many politian who have cheated and then still needed the support from there wives to uphold a good image why should she care you didn’t…

  • glok is a mentally enslaved homosexual

  • WOW!!!

    The only people who knows what really went on in this marriage are the two people who were married. Like some people posted before, there is three sides to the story…her side, his side, and the truth.

  • S.p. Easy !!!

    TOO BAD IT DIDN’T WORK OUT! I WISH BOTH OF THEM THE BEST! I JUST DONT THINK THAT SHE IS READY TO MOVE ON JUST YET…

  • Such a Fu* king Lady

    This just goes to show that fame trumps it all! Swizz cheated on his wife before we all know b/c it was in the press. So why is it so hard to believe that he cheated with A. Keys. Newsflash A.keys is no superwoman she is human and it’s possible she was messing with a married man.

  • Such a Fu* king Lady

    And there is no way Im going to be with someone for 10 whole years and make a child with them if the can’t except my first child. Shiat we wouldn’t even be dating. So Swizz give me another reason.

  • ninty

    Every time I read these post I laugh.. nobody knows the real story. Mashonda is getting her Karma. Swizz oldest son is 10 turning 11! His mother was the woman he was with years before Mashonda Not a groupie.

    DONT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ PEOPLE!

  • albsure

    Seriously though.. you cant just bail out of marriage because your “unhappy”. WTF is all those vows before God about then? Till death do us part, sicker and poorer etc.. Isn’t that the WHOLE POINT OF GETTING MARRIED?

    It’s like saying your not feeling making your car payments anymore after you’ve done mash up the car and made it unsaleable. You have a commitment, and if you cant do it then dont sign up! Surely that the theory?

  • hmm

    So basically he cheated on her twice? First with the mother of his first child and then with Alicia Keys?

  • http://bossip miss dior

    I knew she wasn’t innocent trying to play the victim and garner some sympathy, shame on her for pressuring him to choose their marriage over his son, and i don’t think he will throw something like that out there if it wasn’t true.

  • Samantha

    If he cheated and she chose to stay with him then she chose to accept his child plain and simple she had the opportunity to move on, but she stayed and had a child with him. I guess she thought after having his child he would forget about the first one and it back fired on her. No matter how you chicken heads try to spin it his story sounds more convincing than her’s.

  • Raina

    LIAR! CHEATER! Don’t make excuses, move on and accept that you betrayed your wife more than once. THAT is the reason the marriage didn’t work. He was with Mashonda for 10 years and his sone is 8. Alicia know first hand he’s not a faithful man. She deserves what she gets.
