I wasn’t going to weigh in on the matter because I’m really not one for gossip. I know how detrimental it can be to one’s reputation, whether true or not, so I don’t like to indulge BUT since it is no longer rumor and indeed fact here my two cent goes…
I’ve always been the type to not comment on people’s personal lives (not to them anyway,lol), ESPECIALLY friends. “To each his own” is my motto when it comes to others and their ways, but this Swizz/Alicia thing is a little distasteful in my eye sight. If they want to be together then like I said “To each his own”, if he even wanted to do the Best I Ever Had remix, the same thing goes for that. But as far as Swizz publicly announcing that he was talking about Alicia, and going on the record about their relation, I just think that was kinda wack. I understand you found love and all, and I know that feeling when you trying to hold back but can’t cause you’re just sooo excited, but he should’ve constrained himself just a tad.
When you’re still legally married, have children with your wife, and all the parties involved are public figures I think he should’ve just kept it like it was underwraps. The combo of him speaking out and the content of the song is basically the equivalent of saying “Na, Na, Na, Na Na, Na”. Regardless of what the situation may actually be, people will believe what they want and right now they see Ms. Keys as a homewrecker, which she may not even be and Swizz as jerk, which he probably isn’t either.
