The New York Daily News is reporting that singer Alicia Keys and long time rumored boyfriend, producer Swizz Beatz are going to tie the knot. Keys’ received a 7-carat engagement ring for her 29th birthday on Monday from Swizz, and according to US magazine, the couple is now celebrating in Hawaii. Sources told US magazine that the Grammy award winning singer feels “blessed”.
Speculations that Keys and Swizz Beatz were romantically involved were confirmed in May of 2009 when Swizz admitted to the media that they were dating. Although the producer is going through a bitter divorce with his wife, R&B singer Mashonda, he continues to deny allegations that Keys is the reason for the dissolved four year marriage.
In September, Mashonda wrote a letter confronting Alicia Keys, “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.” She continued, “If it’s 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, it’s more of a reason for us to get along, because I’m not going anywhere. There’s a child to be raised.” Mashonda and Swizz have two children together.
On Thursday, MTV News reported that other sources have confirmed the newly engaged couple did in fact purchased Lenny Kravitz’s penthouse for $14.5 million, a rumor which had been speculated earlier in the week.
At this time, Keys’ rep is denying the engagement.
I didn’t believe the rumors until I saw the on the beach photo. I am so disappointed in the choice Ms. Keys has made. First off cheating is wrong married or not. The reason why men continually cheat is because women do not stick together. If the mind of women changed and they held men accountable for their actions instead of labeling them as “just being a man” then many households would have both parents in them working together for the better of themselves and their family. Instead of the male having the understanding that he can just get someone else because of his lust issues. Males would then strive for what is right and obtain it as a man.
A family according to GOD is meant to have a mother (wife) father (husband) and if possible children sometimes the grandparents are involved or other family members but you understand the point the problem is society has allowed so many problems to be seen as okay that what should not be the norm is now the norm. Just think of how this world would be if males were real men and females were real women, the sanctification of marriage was honored, being responsible was active everyday and we all were truly our brothers keeper? It takes a village not only to raise our children but to keep one another in line anything else creates an unstable world, which creates unstable people which creates and unstable economy. The bad actions of one does have an effect on everything and everyone else. To Alicia Keys I say you know what is wrong and what is right you are a grown female and no person can raise you, just know you have to see GOD for all of your actions here in this world. To Swiss Beatz you have three children from three different people one of which you chose to be with a wife for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. I guess you did not take those words seriously, you have to see GOD too for your actions. To the wife, I will pray for your heart and your mind. Letting your feelings be known without disrespect is honorable, I don’t know if you edited many times or if it just flowed from you but I respect your display as a wife going through a difficult time. Just know your son is watching you carefully and how you behave now will impact him and his life greatly later. In closing your conscience is your guide, your body always wants what it should not have and if your conscience does not speak to you in trying times your not in the right state of mind which make you uncontrollable and prone to act irrational. Be careful of what you do to others because it always comes back to you seven times more that what you did good or bad. Respectfully Taken from his side….
