Once upon a time there was a producer extraordinaire known as Swizz Beatz who was married to his wife and mother of his two kids Mashonda and they lived as happily as they could.
Then came along a super-talented singer and songwriter whose words made you have faith and believe in womanhood, the gorgeous Alicia Keys. Rumours started swirling that Swizz Beatz was not just making music with Alicia Keys but he was making music with Alicia Keys *wink* among others.
Mashonda and Swizz Beats on the right.
So Mashonda filed for divorce and a few months later, Alicia keys wedded Swizz Beatz.
However true to her lyrics from *Karma*, “what goes around comes around,” not long ago, a fresh set of rumours started again claiming that Swizz Beatz had cheated on Alicia Keys with one of the women (Christina Elizabeth) involved in his divorce among others. Picture of ms Elizabeth below:
Alicia Keys then took to Twitter.com to defend her husband and hopefully dispel the rumours.
Same Alicia Keys who took almost one year to respond to rumours about her being a home-wrecker. Anyhoo, the story continues. In typical man fashion, Swizz Beatz as a birthday gift to himself a few days ago, purchased a luxury vehicle for his now wife Alicia Keys.
Busted or not… ladies be true to yourself, what does your man do when he cheats on… Yep!
And so Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz lived happily ever after or so we hope!
After their 2002 hit ‘Gangsta Lovin’, Alicia Keys and Eve have teamed up again with this new single ‘Speechless.’ The song is produced by Swizz Beatz (Alicia’s husband). Alicia Keys tweeted an explanation of the track earlier.
“Speechless is a little freestyle treat 4 the holidays. It’s not a new album, not a single its something special 4 U!”
If you’ve read this elsewhere… enjoy it a second time.
Grammy award singer and new mom, Alicia Keys came up with an interesting concept to raise money for AIDS research through the “Keep A Child Alive” foundation’. The concept involved Alicia Keys and a host of her celebrity chums suffering a ‘digital death’, what that means is,on November 30th 2010, they all greed to log off their twitter, facebook and other social networking sites accounts until they raise $1 million dollars.
The other celebrities involved include; Swizz Beatz, Usher, Kim Kardashian, Serena Williams, P. Diddy, Justin Timberlake, Elijah Woods and a few more.
Her husband, Swizz Beatz
This is what Ms Keys had to say about the concept.
As someone from a PR background, I appreciate the reason behind shock value concepts. Still what do you think, Creative or just plain creepy?

And of course, Usher.
I wonder if we have started using our celebrities to endorse products or causes like this. ( hint: first we have to build a celebrity culture, just don’t quote me. lol)
