*Exclusive* Vibe Blows The Lid on A. Keys & Swizz Beats Scandal in Tabloid Cover

Posted By Bossip Staff

Vibe Tabloid Cover

Bossip has received an exclusive look at Vibe’s 08′ tabloid issue, which is juicier than Deelishis’ cakes. The pic above is a page ripped right out of the mag that puts the A. Keys and Swizz Beats affair on full blast:

In “Like You’ll Never See Me Again,” VIBE examines the rumors surrounding Grammy Award-winning singer Alicia Keys’ alleged role in the dissolution of über-producer Swizz Beatz’s five-year marriage to singer Mashonda. While Beatz soared up Forbes magazine’s “Cash Kings” list this year, his relationship plunged.

Citing irreconcilable differences, sources close to the couple have pointed to Swizz and Keys’ close “working” relationship. When VIBE asked Mashonda to address the rumors, she said, “No comment. No comment says a lot, right?”

Here’s what else you’ll find in the mag:

VIBE magazine, the definitive voice of urban culture, and the only lifestyle magazine to put out an annual “Tabloid Issue,” shouts out the “Best and Worst of 2008” in their highly anticipated second edition. “Rumored couple” Rihanna and Chris Brown grace the January 2009 cover as well as married superstars Jay-Z and Beyoncé, and the “Hot Bodies” of tennis champion Serena Williams and rapper Nelly.

Dang Alicia, we’d hate to call you a homewrecker…again. Hits newsstands Dec 16th. Peep the cover below.

Will you be picking up a copy?

  • Fatimah

    Who was the first dude that she was supposedly messin with?

  • Soul Touch

    …who care…regardless, I never bought Alicia’s good girl image ne way.

  • just because

    Dang thatd crazy but its life you win some you lose some, it could have been worst for mashonda, she swizz beats could have been broke, a one hit wonder, or a drug dealer and she would not be able to get all the bread that she is gonna get. And the best of all she is still pretty and shapely, so all Swizz Beats did was set Mashonda up for the next go NACKA….

  • mzsweetface

    I haven’t bought a copy of Vibe in years but I may pick this one up. I want details on A Keys and Swiss. I wonder if Alicia will ever talk about it. Doubt it!

  • Kiko

    Wow, vibe hasn’t been hot since like 2000. Who reads mags anyway?

  • Raquel26

    @Soul Touch: I was just about to say the same thing. She always acted like she was this prude, good girl who was waiting to have sex and all that crap.

    I bet she’ll let Swizz beat (ha, no pun intended).

    If the story is true, then what reason would you have to break up a marriage? To share thoughts over coffee? Nah.

    Oh, well. Sh_t like this happens to regular folk everyday.

    NEXT!

  • Hotstuff

    This issue should be in my mailbox very soon.

    I’m glad they exposed them b/c nothing’s worse than a fraud and that’s what A. Keys is….

    All that women empowerment and now this…FRAUDULENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Lady Shady

    A woman can’t take a man that was happy to begin with

  • Peace & Love

    That why you shouldn’t act all goody goody lol just ask the diva whitney and mariah stop being fake damn

  • Oshie – still here.

    They still make Vibe?

  • Hazelnut

    @ Lady Shady..spoken like a true homewrecker..you sound as if you practice the same dirt…

  • Sucker Free

    A Keys is a lesbian. If anything, she stole Mashonda from Swizz.

  • anchord “HISTORY (new athem)”

    ah man the kids

  • BKLYNZ OWN (another day another dollar)

    WHAT A SLU-ORE

  • http://www.yahoo.com Switchhitter

    swiss beats needs to be thankful for anyone that he is dating. he is only as attractive as his last paycheck.

  • Shante’

    Oh well if A.Keys was involved in an aldulterous affair with swiss beatz, then they should be put on blast. I hate adultery. There is enough single men to date.

  • Elegance1981

    They need to leave my girl AKeys alone. Nobody is perfect I don’t think she ever gave anyone the idea that she was. I just believe that she always had a low key lifestyle. I doubt that if it was any other woman than Akeys it wouldn’t get talked about. I just believe that they were over and she found out that he was dating somebody else and she don’t like the fact that it was her. This topic is old anyway.

  • memchee

    yep, who cares.

  • ummmkayyyy

    I really do NOT believe this story, just like I never believed she was with Kerry Krucial. Both strike me as GAY. I never got an I am in love with this dude vibe from her. More like he is my beard to shut mofos up and I am his.

  • rainbowrabbit

    Sounds like a slow news day for Vibe.

  • T2

    ALICIA A HOMWREKER??? it could be true… if rihanna can win AMA over her thats very frustrating to AK.. she knows she can sing more than rihanna so she is taking in out on this family guy? and then after a few years she will pull a britney thing “i was with him for wrong reasons” for what, sex or money………WTF

  • deesac

    Well I can’t blame Swizz if you gonna cheat pick a good one. I would crawl across the desert on broken glass toget a piece of Alicia

  • STRESSED

    I JUST NEED TO VENT AND I DON’T KNOW ANY PLACE BETTER TO DO IT THIS JOB IS DRIVING ME NUTS I MEAN AT THE END OF EVERY DAY I AM SO READY TO SAY F*** IT I MEAN IT’S GOOD PAY BUT HOW MUCH MONEY CAN YOU SUBSITUTE FOR YOUR HAPPINESS. EVERYONE WALKS AROUND HERE LIKE THEY ARE SO MUCH BETTER THEN THE NEXT PERSON I CAN TRULY UNDERSTAND WHY SOME PEOPLE GO POSTAL AND COME BACK TO WORK WANTING TO WELL YOU KNOW I DON’T NEED TO FINISH THAT STATMENT… I TRULY BELEIVE THAT THEY SHOULD GIVE A MANORS COURSE AT WORK BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY SOME PEOPLE AERN’T TAUGHT THEM AT HOME IT’S RIDICULOUS.

  • Anonymiss

    @STRESSED,

    I understand 100% some days I need to vent as well BUT FYI: Be Careful Your IT People Don’t Rat U Out!

    Lol, with the economy & looming layoffs around every corner {StarWood Employees just got the boot I heard} all venting needs to be done way off company grounds & NEVER typed out on the company keyboard!

    Save the dish for when ya get home chile!

  • Encyclopedia Brown

  • The Truth

  • http://www.yahoo.com Switch hitter

    Oh no u didnt

    u aint lyin. a.keys and a slew of others need to keep it real. it aint like people dont know anyway. latifah and a.keys got love from everyone and neyo appeals mainly to gays.

    dont be scurred. come on out.

  • gotfreckles

    Swiss and Alicia where on the Tyra Show together like last friday…

  • Roe ski Love

    I saw Swiss on Damon Dash’s failed show. Dude was corny as hell! He acted more like a teenage kid, than a producer/songwriter. But thats typical of rap artist today anyway. Damn Alicia say it aint so.

  • Vee (its Bossladee if u nasty)

    VIBE is wrong for getting so deep into this love triangle. Its obvious that they’re trying desperately to sell mags since noone reads their crap anymore.

  • as seen on t.v.

    Hell I didn’t even know VIBE was still around…I haven’t read an issue from them since Aaliyah died…Sad that they would use these people’s personal problems to try and sell their rag…

  • cocoa49

    alicia keys, ciara, and a few more who display this humble good girl images have other sides that have come out or eventfully will come out. i am not saying that they can not be sweet or humble, but no one is perfect.

  • Mock Rock Star(Mock Rock says Ima Ima a Diva)

    FallinPoet(My Truth’s so cool I don’t have to lie…)

    so does this mean she’s not a lesbian lol
    ——————————————
    naw, I don’t think she’s fully lesbian…but as we know p*ssy can be so good/but @ the same time so destructive :-(

  • LB

    trying to see something NEW that hasn’t already been said

  • http://www.allhiphop.com Kenya West

    Swizz is the wackest producer ever..

  • Sister Sonja

    @ Stressed
    I had a job like that. Everyday I was pissed about one thing or another. Don’t let someone ask me how was my day….I would go on and on about how f*cked up my job was. BUT LIFE IS TOO SHORT SO I FOUND A NEW JOB. EVERYDAY I PENCH MYSELF IN DISBELIEF THAT I AM SO HAPPY NOW. MY ADVICE IT TO START LOOKING FOR A NEW JOB ASAP. IT WILL BE WAY WORTH IT.

  • TellinIt

    SORRY BUT A KEYS OR NO OTHER WOMAN BROKE UP HIS MARRAIGE. HE DID! ONLY SWIZZ OR HIS WIFE CAN DECIDE TO CHEAT ON THE MARRAIGE. WHO THEY CHOSE TO CHEAT WITH IS IRRELEVANT. IT COULD’VE BEEN JJ FROM GOOD TIMES, A BAT, OR A KEYS DON’T MATTER.

    THE TERM HOMEWRECKER CAME FROM MEN WHO DON’T WANT TO ADMIT THEY MESSED UP THEIR MARRAIGE AND WANT TO PUT THE BLAME ON SOMEBODY ELSE.

    THE HOMEWRECKER IS ALWAYS ONE OR BOTH OF THE SPOUSES. NO ONE EXTERNAL CAN EVER WRECK “YOUR” MARRAIGE.

    SO THE HOMEWRECKER is SWIZZ!

  • diedre

    @Gotfreckles,
    You DID NOT see Swizz and ALICIA on Tyra last wk, Alicia was there and they were showing clips her annual BlackBall in which, Tyra,and Swizz as well as the little boy that was on tyra all attended..and they showed NOAH going in the studio to record his song with SWIZZ…get your facts str8…smh

  • HIM

    LOL! I CAN’T BELIEVE PEOPLE REALLY GET ON HERE AND PUT “FIRST” LIKE SOMEONE REALLY CARES. YA’LL REALLY NEED HELP, FRIENDS, INTERVENTION AND A LIFE!

  • Capital G

    Any man in his right mind, and with millions, would drop MaShonda for Alicia Keys…not even a question.

    Moral conviction is a mofo…get passed it…and be happy.

  • sexy

    Alicia Keys is a damn home wrecker, trying to act like the good girl. Pleaseeeeee

  • http://bossip.com/68766/showdown-in-motown-katt-williams-vs-steve-harvey/#comments me

    Alicia didn’t wreck this home, if he left he left for a reason. When are women going to realize, if a man wants to be with you at the end of the day, then he will be with you. If he doesn’t he will walk…
