Every now and then we, here at I LOVE OLD SCHOOL MUSIC, still get a little shocked by some of the information we learn around here. We decided to do a lil’ diggin’ on DeVante Swing of Jodeci…and lo and behold, we found a tidbit of shocking info.  Scroll down to check out which pop princess he was reportedly hookin’ up with…all we’ll say is she’s probably who you’d least expect…well, then again, maybe not…

WE DIDN’T SEE THIS COMING

Okay so, remember we said DeVante Swing’s reported ex may, or may not be someone you’d least expect? Welp, here she is — Madonna. Turns out, that back in the day when they were both at the height of their careers, they had a thing going on, according to Rolling Stone Magazine. Here’s an excerpt from a 1995 Rolling Stone article about the two alleged ex lovebirds:

IT’S A SWEATY FRIDAY Afternoon in Los Angeles. DeVante, the lead producer of the singing group Jodeci and to many its main heartthrob, is leaning against a wall in the hallway of a local radio station. A strawberry blonde turns the corner and finds herself just feet away from the 25-year-old tall, brown and handsome star. She playfully gasps like an awestruck fan. He answers with a cool, deep laugh. She walks up to him, says, “Hi, silly rabbit,” gathers herself up on her toes and kisses him noisily on the lips. Later, DeVante describes the woman as “one of the most beautiful people I know.” Her name, by the way, is Madonna.

And for further confirmation of the aforementioned article, reference the photo below…

DeVante Swing and Madonna

THEY EACH SEEMINGLY HAVE A TYPE

For the people in the back who haven’t heard by now, Madonna always had a thing for Black men who were more of the ‘rebel, bad boy type.’ DeVante Swing –just like her other past love interests, Tupac, Dennis Rodman, to name a few — fits that description.

Now, another thing to keep in mind, is that Madonna is actually DeVante’s type, at least from a physical standpoint. You see, the mother of his adult daughter is actually white as well, which further confirms the Rolling Stone reporter’s article. Peep the mother of DeVante Swing’s daughter HERE.

Random side note: Wonder if Madonna and DeVante Swing both want that ol’ thang back again…allegedly. They’d definitely go viral in these internet streets if they did.
