Alicia Key’s Boyfriend in Middle of Divorce

By Denver Divorce Lawyer on August 11, 2009

The website divorcecentral.com reported in an account that Swizz Beatz a.k.a. Kaseem Dean has admitted he is madly in love with Grammy winner musician, singer Alicia Keys although he would appreciate it if his separated wife Mashonda would refrain from involving her in their divorce. Swizz Beatz has gained fame for producing countless beats for hip-hop artists. The couple had been rumored for several months to be an item but both kept things private.

On Drake’s new remix of “Best I Ever Had” he appears to be referring to Keys with the following lyrics:
“Wake up in the morning and my baby cooked me breakfast, A’s naked wearing nothing on but a necklace …Yeah, she say she wanna treat me like a king; I get big gifts so the money ain’t a damn thing.”

According to Swizz, Keys threw him a party at the Guggenheim. A laughing Swizz said, “But we’re nowhere near ready for a baby or a ring. This whole song is not about Alicia. The part about her cooking breakfast for me naked – she never done that for me.”

Mashonda filed for a divorce in February and is pursuing interim support for their 2-year old son, Kasseem Jr. Mashonda contends that Swizz has cut his payments.

A friend of Moshanda said, “He’s been tightening the screws on her. It’s becoming intolerable. Meanwhile, she’s seen the charges for jewelry he’s bought Alicia in France.” All the while Mashonda’s Westchester mansion sat with a broken heater while reportedly “Swizz wouldn’t repair her heat.”
