Mashonda Addresses Alicia Keys

LSNY 090807 P

Yesterday, Mashonda took to Twitter and addressed the love triangle involving her, Swizz Beatz, and Alicia Keys. Read what she had to say after the jump.

Heads Up: VIBE

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. For those seeking to explore new dimensions of intimacy, dildos made from silicone offer a high-quality and comfortable experience to enhance personal pleasure.

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 now

This 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.

    swizz choose alicia because she’s fucking nice !
    but why alicia choose him! damn sad fuckin’ thang

  2. B.Dot says:

    Swizz Beatz is the new Mr. Cheeks. He’s got two honey’s on his arm and don’t want to let none of em go

  3. Cheezy says:

    She wrote all that shit on twitter

    damn thats alot of updates….

  4. Just Visiting says:

    This was a very real letter and I respect Mashonda for being able to articulate her feelings toward Alicia and not act crazy about the situation. It’s sad that it had to be publicly, but it is what it is.

  5. B.Dot says:

    She wrote all that shit on twitter

    damn thats alot of updates….

    ^
    Lol, nah, she used Twittlonger. it lets you tweet past 140 characters

  6. LikeJordan45 says:

    All of that is in response to some basic ass tweets Alicia made about a conversation she was having in the studio about relationships. It didn’t have to be made public but that was Mashonda’s choice she obviously feels she’s owed something…if it isn’t publicity/sympathy I don’t know what she’s fishing for though.

  7. G-Roc says:

    That’s all bad. I wonder how AK feels????

  8. Angelj says:

    Seriously an off line conversation.

  9. raul says:

    I always though alicia keys was a licker maybe she aint after all much respect to shonda for being an adult for all this.What up with alicia dodging her woman up.

  10. RealChic says:

    I feel Mashonda is really scorned behind what has happened! Her feelings are justified but the way she is handling it is ALL WRONG!!! When I was 14yrs old my aunt told me that if a man is ready to leave there is NOTHING you can do to make him stay. Also why would you want a man that DON’T want you!!! The point is I went thru a similar situation she was in. I didn’t reach out to the other woman cause she was not my concern…I had a long talk with him. In the end I just felt it was best for me to take what was left of my heart, pride and dignity and prepare to heal. Talking badly about the other woman was not going to change what happened, it was only going to make me angrier! She needs to decide to heal and stop grand-standing. It HAS been 1-1/2 yrs and she is not making AK look bad she’s making herself look bad and boosting his ego (Look how I got her!!). Heal thyself and MOVE ON!!!! That really IS the best thing you can do for your son!

  11. TRUE says:

    She’s goin about dis da wrong way… like she’s comin at akeys like its all her fault… u should step 2 yo man nd not da other woman becuz it makes u look bad.. As a woman we tend 2 confront da other woman nd let da nigga get off da hook… swizz knew he was married nd if he wanted 2 stay married no matter wat or who it is he shoulda respected his own vows!

  12. Toya says:

    Why do women always go after the other woman first? In order for there to be another woman, the man has to let her in first. And just because you’re happy doesn’t mean he feels the same. Conversation is key.

  13. webstar says:

    I feel bad for her.

    but this is not something to handle on the internet.

  14. meggiep says:

    Is it just me or did it seem like the things ak was tweeting had nothing to do with this? she was just talking about love in general. I think someone’s salty…

  15. global says:

    @ Cheezy-LMAO=I thought the same thing! Wow! Twitter is crazy -what is this world coming 2 ? Everyone is on constant blast young & old-Whoa! Everyone in this situation is wrong & the one that suffers most is the child. God bless the children 4 the ish parents bring 2 their lives!

  16. Tego says:

    Ha!!

    Mashonda’s English > Nation’s

  17. Papo says:

    Swizzy and AK the persons are on some wack shit.

  18. mac DIESEL says:

    I WOULD HAVE NEVER IMAGINED THAT ALICIA KEYS WAS A HOE!!! BUT LIKE HAVOC SAID ” A HOE GONNA BE A HOE AND A NIGGA GONNA BE A NIGGA NO MATTER WUT U THINK”!!! CAN’T FRONT THOU, ALICIA KEYS IS BAD BITCH!!! THAT’S A FLY ASS HOE!!! I’LL BEAT!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  19. Cinnamon says:

    Why is she just blaming Alicia. Nothing was really said about her husband or ex-husband-Swizz Beatz. If the man chose another woman, you be checking him and true some things don’t work out, but maybe he was bugging constantly @ Alicia’s door. So I was appalled by this letter Mashonda wrote. Like Keyshia Cole” song, Let him Be where he wants to be!”

  20. FURM says:

    1st, swizz should be more respectful of people and the drama this can cause “SHIT” at like a man 2nd AK, i’m done, just cleared my IPod of ALL your music – Mashonda keep ya head up, keep it movin…YOU ARE WAY BETTER THAN THIS

  21. wow says:

    Its insecurity, she feels smaller than alicia because her career failed and alicia is a megastar. If you go back and look at the tweet she’s talking about alicia says 4 minutes after that she doesnt get involved with studio debates which means she wasnt talkin about it personally and it was actually a topic in the room which may consist of engineer co writers and other musicians also….my question is why are you stalkin her via twitter

  22. Linda says:

    Although this is something that should be dealt with privately, I think Mashonda wants the world to know that Alicia is not the squeaky clean angel that everyone thinks she is.

    @ LikeJordan 45, RealChic, True, Toya, MeggieP, Cinnamon,WOW – WHAT WERE YOU’LL READING? Did you read her whole statement… She did speak on Swizz’s responsibility in the matter, She seemed very respectful in her comments to both AK & Swizz, wished them well with their relationship, just said for the sake of the child… They need to communicate and all get along. I agree with her sentiments but like most of you said i don’t agree that twitter was the appropriate forum for this to be addressed. Yes it put AK on blast… but what AK (& Swizz) did was wrong. Call a jack a jack, a spade a spade, a cheater a cheater, a mistress a mistress and AK was definitely a mistress. People make mistakes and maybe the biggest mistake was for the 2 of them (Swizz & Mashonda) to get married but it happened, as did the affair so now for the sake of the child… moving forward is the best thing. I felt Mashonda’s statements was a legitimate plea towards moving forward (WRONG PLACE FOR IT) but I hope AK and Swizz took heed and take the necessary steps towards everyone getting along. Hell, Jada and Will’s ex did it and this is no different. Swizz and AK – Stand Up!!! Mashonda did…

  25. SneakerQueen says:

    I actually applaud Mashonda’s efforts. They were authentic and took a lot of courage and whether it should be a private matter or not, the truth is, for the public positions they hold, it’s going to play out in the spotlight regardless. I feel bad for Mashonda because it seems as if she’s a VERY intelligent and mature woman and it’s so unfortunate that the vows they took weren’t respected.

    For some, love can be so unfortunate.

    Because none of us know what really went down, all any of us should do is pray for them all.

  26. willie mcfly22 says:

    shit i woulda chose Akeys too!! she been bad since she first came out. swizzzy a lucky nigga cuz that nigga goofy lookin…

  27. Iluvalicia says:
