Someone must have pissed Swizz Beats off the other night because he went off on folks for bringing up his affair (or non-affair, according to him) with Alicia Keys and divorce from Mashonda on Twitter.

Although he’s since deleted the messages from his page, someone neglected to tell him that once something is up people hit print screen on their keyboard and pass the caption around.

Here’s what Swizz had to say:

Naturally, the shade sensei herself, Mashonda, just had to chime in. It didn’t take her long to hit her still legal husband with:

Pow. I see Mashonda is one of those kill them with kindness types. The type who will write, “Dear God, bless everyone on Earth even those who still men from their wives…like Alicia Keys. AMEN.”

In all seriousness, though, can someone sit these three down in family therapy and get this over with? They’re doing the most and giving us too much and then say it’s our fault we know what’s going on in their lives.

Silencio, Swizzy. Make it stop, Mashonda.

Ever since Mashonda put Alicia Keys on full blast for taking the “Boom, I Got Your Boyfriend” approach to love and snatching away her soon-to-be (but not quite yet, if I’m not mistaken) husband, Swizz Beats, many people have been giving Alicia shade.

It doesn’t help that Mashonda constantly brings up Swizz’ infidelity with Ms. Keys every other tweet.

Alicia, however, has yet to discuss any of the drama head on.

In an interview with Upscale magazine, she references the rumors, but doesn’t respond to them directly.

When asked about snatching someone else’s man, Alicia said:

“I felt I had to speak out about things and clear my name. But as time went on I realized it was a waste of energy. I think it’s better to just keep things moving. People will take [your business] and run with it in whichever direction they choose.”

It’s responses such as these that keep people talking.

Is it time for Alicia to release her own version of “Woman to Woman,” or at the very least, remake MoKenStef’s “He’s Mine”?

Or is it best to let her business stay just that (although it means we’ll only hear Mashonda’s perspective)? I’m almost certain Mashonda has demoed both tracks by now, it would start something like, “Hello?  May I speak to Alicia?  Alicia, this is Mashonda… ” okay, maybe that is a lil’ too old school for most of you!

The 2009 American Music Awards went down last night at Nokia Theatre in LA and while they’re usually a tame show compared to other music awards because they focus more on performances, last night brought plenty of moments to buzz about.

Of course the night couldn’t go on without Michael Jackson being recognized. Jermaine Jackson accepted four awards on Michael’s behalf. The only time Jermaine didn’t bask in the spotlights on stage was for the Artist of the Year Award, which MJ lost to Taylor Swift (ok where was Kanye during this award? Hopefully somewhere shamed that he put Swift on the radar enough to win an award over the King of Pop). Swift was the big winner of the night winning five awards (including AMA Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist over Beyonce and Lady Gaga, get out of here!). Luckily there was no chaos during the country singer’s acceptance speeches because she wasn’t there.

While there was little drama during the evening there were plenty of high energy performances from some of our favorite artists. Janet Jackson kicked off the evening performing a medley of songs including “Miss You Much.” Rihanna (who was dressed in a bondage outfit that looked like Lady Gaga’s long johns and was still tamer than Gaga’s performance outfit) preformed two songs off of her new album “Rated R.” Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Jay-Z (who won Favorite Male Hip-Hop Artist) and Alicia Keys (who must want to get popped by Mashonda for the song “Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart”) all executed solid performances of their latest chart-toppers.

Jennifer Lopez’s performance of her new song “Louboutins” wasn’t so smooth. The singer is nursing a bruise today after falling on her butt when she tried to jump off a human pyramid of half-naked performers. “You miss me?” she asked near the end of the performance. You answer that question.

Whitney Houston took home the AMA International Artist of the Year Award, an honorary award given to to an artist for longevity and international success. The Diva also took to the stage to perform a new hit “Didn’t Know My Own Strength” in a moving performance that brought some of the audience members that were panned, like Reba McEntire to tears. If you blinked you might’ve missed Ray J sitting behind Whitney’s daughter Bobbi Christina. Hmmm, are Ray J and Whitney still special “friends” like the old rumors say? One can only wonder.

All in all it was a well executed show with the usual suspects in the music industry.

What was your favorite moment from the night?

If you don’t have any idea of what it’s like to be a jilted lover chances are you’ve never read any of Mashonda’s tweets.

Call it a hunch, but I think she enjoys us writing about her messy divorce and the woman she blames for it (although to be fair to Alicia Keys, that’s highly debatable).

This time Mashonda’s ranting about her new music. Does anyone care about her music? No shade, but I didn’t think that’s why we paid her any mind.

Having said that, I am curious to know what she plans on talking about. She’s about as shy as a 6-foot-man in a blond lacefront so I imagine she’s planning to talk slick about Alicia. I’m sure we can expect the first Twitter book from her any day now.

The question is  will Alicia Keys ever going to respond to her, “B*tch you stole my man” messages?

The only people who have responded have nothing to do with it. That’s boring.

Give the drummer some! After Swizz Beatz’s wife Mashonda wrote a novel to Alicia Keys on Twitter (I’m saying, aren’t Tweets supposed to be 140 characters or less?) The Root’s Questlove added a rimshot to the situation by taking to Twitter and writing his own call-out. Questlove practically copied Mashonda’s letter word for word but instead jokingly addressed it to Stevie Wonder accusing the iconic singer of breaking up his family and not having the guts to speak about it. We see you got jokes Quest! Preforming on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon must be rubbing off.

“After having a great evening with my band 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 @_steviewonder twit page. I’ve never reached out to him 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 him many times in the beginning of this whole thing, as any husband would do. Unfortunately, I never succeeded in getting a response. The 1st time I meet SW, my wife @auntesther introduced us to each other at an event. ( I have no choice but to call her my wife, until she is not anymore) In the messages that I sent to him (SW), I made it very clear that on the contrary of what he might be (only) hearing, I am still married to my wife, living with her 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 seed.

I was a fan of SW’s 70s genius streak, we are both signed to Universal Records (he Motown and me Def Jam) and I always checked up on his projects since i was a youngin. I sang his songs and admired him for creating Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You) and Rocket Love, I would never deny him, her talent. I believed in him until I found out he was possibly sleeping with my wife @auntesther. 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 him, You cant make someone leave their husband, You cant break something thats broken”. Well, my marriage was not broken, as far as I knew we were celebrating our child’s birth and getting ready to celebrate our 25 year wedding anniversary (despite the fact that 25 years ago when i was 13 it was against the law for my wife to be sexing me like that) . Call it blind love, whatever. I call it being a devoted husband. As far as me blaming him and not blaming her, thats false. Me and my wife have worked out our differences. We are in a good place as people and as parents. I accept her choices and I am comfortable enough with myself to move on. I am so very blessed in many ways.

My concern with SW is no longer the fact that he assisted in destroying a family but that he 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 Soldier that I sang out loud with in my truck? I ask myself sometimes.

If you are reading this Steveland, 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 man. I know you owe me or my child 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 dude, 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 a publicity stunt, I do have a record coming out in February called How I Got Over. I just need to close this chapter in my life and that means confronting our issues. There is a 42 year old child involved (despite the fact my child is older than me…this is my twisted fantasy leave me be). His momma loves him to death and she wants to spend more time with our child but shes afraid because he knows we don’t have a relationship. This is my main concern. My child NEEDS his mother and I NEED to be comfortable with you. For him!

-yes folks twitter has driven me to this. ”

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned…and it’s even worse when she has a stable internet connection.

Mashonda will not rest until Alicia Keys acknowledges her role in the end of her marriage with Swizz Beats.

After Mashonda spotted Alicia’s tweet, “Having a heated debate n the studio. Question is…N love is it better to go 4 the choice that is ‘SMART’ or the choice that has ‘SPARK?’” Mashonda saw an opportunity to get at the “other woman” who keeps ducking her calls.

She wrote:

Just when you thought Swizz Beats was ready to get a lot more personal with the public, he’s since asked the judge in his divorce case to issue a gag order and seal all court records.

Mashonda’s lawyer, Bernard Clair, said he finds Swizz’s request “curious”

And told the New York Post:

[Mashonda’s request for child support were] “flying under the radar until Mr. Dean and Alicia Keys went public about their long-term affair and he released a song implying that he likes it when Alicia serves him breakfast naked. Now that Mr. Dean’s questionable conduct is being scrutinized, he suddenly wants a gag order and the media to be locked out?”

Right you reference Alicia Keys making you breakfast butt naked and you think Mashonda is the one who needs a gag order?

Note to Nas: Learn from Swizz. If you have a new chick somewhere, don’t bring her up until you sign divorce papers.

I know that Alicia Keys is loved by many. However, now that we know it’s official that she’s with the still-legally married Swizz Beats, is she about to face a wave of scrutiny?

Already some of have said that it’s in poor taste to openly date a legally married man regardless of whether or not he’s separated from his wife.

It doesn’t help that Mashonda pins the fall of her marriage on Alicia. Her friends are also complaining that while Swizz buys Alicia jewelry, the heat in her house is off.

Others ask what exactly is a person supposed to between the time it takes for a divorce to finalize?

Marriage gets about as much respect as Akon does for his vocals, but when someone call its quits does one have to wait until it’s legal to move on?

Well look who’s no longer hiding anymore.

Last fall Mashonda hinted that Alicia Keys played a major role in the fallout of her marriage to Swizz Beats.

Of course, I’m sure his having a child with another woman didn’t help matters, but hey, this is Mashonda’s life, not mine.

Swizz denied it and Alicia never responded to it directly.

Though Keys and Beats both kept mum on their relationship, the rumor mill has been on fire lately – saying Alicia is in love and no longer cares about the home wrecker accusations.

With pics of her sitting in his lap and the two of them cheesing floating around, looks like the rumors may be true.

But uh, what ever happened to Krucial? 

The Alicia Keys-Swizz Beatz romance is no secret but Swizz says the singer didn’t
come between him and his estranged wife Mashonda. The soon-to-be ex has had enough
and thinks Alicia has now gone too far. This is getting ugly.

Swizz told Usmagazine.com
that Alicia is not to blame for the collapse of his marriage.

“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 [my wife]
Mashonda and I have made to separate.”

“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.”

“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.”

Well, this matter is anything but private. Especially after today’s href="http://www.nydailynews.com">Rush & Molloy column, which ran the
headline, “Alicia is the Ms. in the Swizz Beatz split.”

According to the column:

Alicia Keys could be named as “the other woman” in the divorce of hip-hop
producer Swizz Beatz and R&B singer Mashonda, sources tell us. Swizz has been
brushing off rumors that Grammy-winner Alicia had anything to do with his split
from Mashonda, his wife of almost five years and mother of his 1-year-old son, Kasseem
Dean Jr.

But Mashonda isn’t buying it. Last week, she was incensed when she heard about
the birthday party Alicia threw for Swizz at midtown’s Louis Vuitton store,
where guests included Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony and Robin Thicke.

“Alicia introduced Swizz as ‘The man of the hour and my boo,’”
says an insider. “Mashonda has had enough. She put her career on hold to be
a wife and mother. She’s tired of pretending she’s deaf, dumb and blind
to what’s going on. She can’t believe how disrespectful Alicia is being.”

Word that Swizz and Mashonda were separating came in April in a statement issued
by a rep for the couple.

A friend of Mashonda argues, “That was his announcement. She got sucked into
it. She thought they were trying to put their marriage back together. Meanwhile,
he’s apparently been telling Alicia that his marriage was over.”

Though he accompanied Alicia on her European tour last summer, Swizz has continued
to live, off and on, with Mashonda and Kasseem Jr. at their Westchester mansion,
says a friend.

Mashonda is said to have exploded when she found a flirty e-mail from Alicia on
Swizz’s BlackBerry. According to sources, she fired back a reply, reminding
the singer he was still her husband.

Mashonda has now hired powerhouse matrimonial lawyer Bernard Clair.

“This could have been handled quietly,” said a friend. “But now
Mashonda has taken the gloves off.”

Clair declined to comment. Keys’ rep didn’t return a call.

A friend of Swizz said, “His relationship with Alicia began after their separation.
He hasn’t kept it a secret. He still has great love for Mashonda and has promised
to take care of her and their son and support her career.”
