Superstar couple Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz seem to be getting themselves pulled into another sticky love triangle as more news surfaces surrounding Swizz’s alleged affair.
After being accused of sexting with and striking up an affair with singer Christina Elizabeth, Swizz’s alleged mistress has now come forward and is claiming that the rumors are true and that she did engage in an illicit relationship with Swizz that has continued to this day.
“I would like to confirm that the rumor about Swizz Beatz cheating on Mashonda with me is absolutely true. I would also like to confirm that the rumors about Swizz “sexting” me, even in his present marriage, are absolutely true,” wrote Elizabeth in a letter sent to Bossip. “I am also confirming that I lost my cell phone and someone else posted all the stuff that you see on the internet.”
In the letter, Elizabeth detailed the origins of her relationship with Swizz, explaining that they met at Solange Knowles’s birthday party in 2007 where Swizz and invited her out for a late dinner, followed by a trip to a radio interview the next morning. And though the two eventually ended up back at his hotel room, Elizabeth assures that the day ended innocently.
“I gave him my phone number and he called me right away and invited me to eat at Katz’ Deli on Montrose Blvd. The next morning, he invited me to accompany him at Radio One (979 The Box) for his interview,” wrote Elizabeth. “Afterwards, we went back to his hotel room but we DID NOT HAVE SEX. A couple of hours later, he had to leave so he could catch his flight. He hugged and kissed me in public as if he were a single man.”
According to Elizabeth, things didn’t get sexual until two weeks later during a trip to Miami. After a few more out of town hookups, Elizabeth was confronted by Swizz’s then-wife, Mashonda Tifrere, though she denied the affair, as per Swizz’s instructions.
Though Swizz immediately ended their physical relationship, the two continued talking throughout Swizz’s divorce from Tifrere and his subsequent marriage to Keys, claiming the recent “sexts” between the two as evidence of their continued communication.
“Recently, we’ve been contacting each other (as you’ve all seen), but I haven’t physically seen him. We were making plans to, but I had to work and I wasn’t going to take off work to go see him,” wrote Elizabeth.
Concluding her letter, Elizabeth said that despite, his extramarital affair, she believed Swizz to be a good man and she is confident that this recent scandal won’t breakup his marriage with Keys.
“He’s a wonderful man and I had a great time with him as well as a great relationship,” wrote Elizabeth. “Of course he’ll deny the whole thing and of course Alicia will stand up for her man. It’s understood.” –nicholas robinson
