Swizz Beatz couldn’t hold back and ignore the rumors that have been going around since him and his wife decided to seperate. On allegations that Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys is the cause of Grammy Award winning producer Swizz Beatz pending divorce from wife Mashonda, he has released the following statement:

“This experience has been one of the most difficult times in my life, and as was stated when we announced our separation several months ago, I ask that you continue to respect my privacy in dealing with this personal matter.  However, I can no longer ignore the harmful rumors, that my friend Alicia Keys is in any way linked to my marital circumstances or to the decision that Mashonda and I have made to separate. As a producer, I work with and have many female friends including Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, Lil’ Kim, Eve and others.  I am disappointed that some have chosen to try and tarnish Alicia’s reputation by irresponsibly implicating her in a situation that she has absolutely nothing to do with… (more…)

Alicia Keys is contemplating retiring by the time she turns 30. Keys says she wants to devote the rest of her life to traveling and discovering the world. Keys said:

“I am working hard now so I have the choice to retire when I want,” Contactmusic quoted her, as saying. “I would like to travel the world and stay in places instead of having to move on like I do now. I want to experience difference cultures,” she added.

During an interview with MTV News Swizz Beatz addressed the crazy rumors about Alicia Keys being the cause of his failed marriage…Check out some of the interview here:

“I’m working on this new Michael Jackson sh–,” Swizz said in as calm a manner as he did when speaking to his new manager, Chaka Zulu, about which Los Angeles restaurant they should dine at. “I’m probably gonna be producing his tour and everything. I’m designing planes for Gulf Stream and everything. They called me. I’m around different people. I’m around billionaires. I’m around people like that.” (more…)

I’m confused. Rumors ran wild that Alicia Keys was the reason why Mashonda and Swizzy broke up. However, it was never confirmed that Swizz cheated on his wife with Alicia who is supposedly still with long time boyfriend, Krucial. Swizz and Mashonda parted ways when she noticed thru credit card statements that Swizz Beats tagged along with Keys on her Europena tour.

Anywho, Mashonda talked about how she felt about Keys in a recent interview with Hip Hop Weekly:

“[Alicia Keys] is her own woman and she has made her own choices. I don’t have a problem with her. I will say this though, I am not a scorned woman. I have a responsibility to raise [my son], he’s my number one priority and everyday I strive more for him and of course my music.” (more…)
