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. ”

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.”
