Ex-Wife Announces New Unexpected Business Venture With Alicia Keys & Hubby Swizz Beatz

Posted On : October 1, 2018

Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys have had a rocky past with his ex-wife, Mashonda Tifrere, and understandably so. The good thing is that Mashonda has found a way to transform her pain into love, and now into a business venture that we feel deserves a rousing hand clap.

There’s nothing like a woman scorned, which is exactly what Swizz Beatz’s ex-wife admittedly was when he left her for Alicia Keys, then quickly began a new life with the “Woman’s Worth” singer. Fast forward to two more kids later, A. Keys and Swizz, have made amends with the mother of two of his five children (Swizz also has one more child with a different mother) and everyone’s in a happy ‘Kum-ba-yah’ kinda space today.

So much so, that they’re officially breakin’ bread together with the release of Mashonda’s much needed new book about their love triangle; as well as their hella cool co-parenting practices nowadays.

Years ago, Alicia Keys was accused, by Mashonda, of ‘stealing’ her then husband and having an affair with him, while she was raising her and Swizz’s then newborn infant. The divorce was bitter and the way Mashonda put Alicia on public blast at that time, was applauded by many women. Fast forward to now, and the trio oftentimes vacations together, kee-kee’s it up, and parties at each other’s homes with their children.

Recognizing that their situation is unique, Mashonda, her ex, and his wife, decided to write a very telling book, in order to help others navigate through the treacherous, bitter waters that oftentimes come with the hardships of co-parenting and how it affects the children. Here’s what Mashonda posted on Instagram, regarding their upcoming book, The Blend Book:

Excerpt from @theblendbook “I knew that denying my son’s father access to him was taking away my son’s rights, more so than his father’s. Kasseem had a parenting contract with both me and with his father. It was important for Kasseem’s development that Swizz be allowed to fulfill the terms of this unspoken, divine contract. Therefore, I never used my son as a pawn to get my own way, not even in my deepest moments of anger and pain. Such behavior would interfere with the invisible but very dominant parenting contract. And it’s not worth it.” Learn more about the Parent Contract in my book Blend-The Secret to Co-Parenting and Creating a Balanced Family. Preorder Today-LINK IN BIO
