Not exactly the stuff of fairytales, but nothing that couldn't be overcome with the right mix of honesty and romance, something that's proven to be a speciality for Swizz. As Sabastian explained to in 2014 "I only reached out with official paperwork after I have found out that the divorce had already been filed for totally different reasons that had nothing to do with my child and I." Keys was at Swizz's side when he flew to London to take the paternity test. And while Swizz insisted his marriage to Tifrere had already unspooled by the time his friendship with Keys ventured into less platonic territory, his estranged bride had a different take.Ĭlaiming her attempts to reach out to Keys privately had been brushed off, Tifrere posted an open letter to the singer on Twitter in September 2009, alleging "she assisted in destroying a family."įurther complicating matters, Swizz discovered in 2009 that he was the father of a daughter named Nicole, British singer Jahna Sabastian having kept him in the dark about the child's 2008 arrival as to not affect his marriage. In between the duo's early high school encounters and those first smoldering embers of romance, the prolific Grammy-winning producer had a son, Prince Nasir Deam, with Nicole Levy in 2000, wed singer Mashonda Tifrere in 2004 and welcomed their first son, Kasseem Dean, Jr. His past, however, would be a bit tougher to brush past. To be truthful, she confessed, she was hardly fallin': "I didn't really like him that much."
I used to see him and think, 'He is so annoying.'" "Everything with him is really over the top.
"Swizz will have the fastest car, the biggest jewelry, the loudest jacket," the singer, who'd already swapped her given surname of Augello-Cook for the more melodic sounding Keys, told Marie Claire UKin 2013.
SWIZZ BEATS AND ALICIA KEYS FAMILY PROFESSIONAL
With DMX's "Ruff Ryders' Anthem" to his name, the man, known in the industry by his professional moniker, Swizz Beatz, was already drawn to the finer things such success afforded. And that's when a mutual friend introduced her to a confident young record producer named Kasseem Dean. Alicia Keys can remember exactly how she felt when she first met her future husband.Īll of 14, the New York City native was on track to graduate high school (as valedictorian) and enroll at Columbia University and, on the precipice of signing her first record deal, was already working on the music that would become her Grammy-winning, multi-platinum 2001 debut, Songs in A Minor.
