Sphere: Related ContentI Cannot: Swizz Beatz Addresses His Infidelity Allegations on Twitter, Mashonda Responds
Dec 12th
Let me start by saying this twitter is not your friend. For anyone ever feeling a certain type a way, typing out your frustrations or thoughts on twitter is never the way to go. Now on to the story:
After being spotted in Paris together I’m sure that word has gotten back to Swizz Beatz, Alicia Keys and Mashonda that the triad is closer to becoming a duo consisting of just Alicia and Swizz. On Friday night, Swizz Beatz took to twitter to voice his frustrations about people claiming that he cheated, saying:
“Oh yeah get that album on the 15th it’s Fire yeah I said it and what! That’s my boo!! 4 life!” about 1 hour ago from web
“People talking about I cheated how the *&%^$#@E can I cheat when I was separated ass holes:) Its been damn near 2years plus hello! G .A.Life!” about 1 hour ago from web
“*&%^$#@E what they say or said I’m a good man but when it’s time move on it’s just time! I’m also so a great f**king Dad but nobody give a sh*t!” about 1 hour ago from web“People done lost there minds I been in this game for 11 plus years since I was 17 and all people want to talk about is my divorce Wow!” about 1 hour ago from web
After seeing his tweets, Swizz Beatz’s soon-to-be ex-wife, Mashonda, replied:
“Here’s the bottom line,u were married whn u started ur affair, ur married now. And both of u knew wht it was.Separation came after the fact.”34 minutes ago from UberTwitter
“But just know! I never lied and NEVER will. Thank God we are doing this b4 2010. My new year will not involve this scandol. That all folks.” 31 minutes ago from UberTwitter
“Now peps, this is why its important to keep God 1st! I’m not gona battle my sons father on twitter about his mistress. Yall WON!”32 minutes ago from UberTwitter
WOW!! I can’t. I cannot. I refuse to believe that either Mashonda or Swizz thought this was a constructive way to address the situation. I’m not sure what his intentions were but it was a bad move. Mashonda well, I expected her to respond considering her past twitter rants but Swizz went in this time. In any event, this drama is one that they should’ve kept off twitter–but who am I to judge.
Soon after his posts, Swizz deleted the status updates mentioned above but I was able to get the screenshots of both his and Mashonda’s updates were still available check below. What do you think about these twitter rants?
Rihanna’s Such a F**king Lady, “Wait Your Turn” Official Video
Nov 3rd
Aha! I was wondering where the inspiration for this bag came from looks like it was a preview for the song the “Wait Your Turn.” *lights flicker on in head*
I give Rhanna two points for the subtle message she sent back when this picture was take during Fashion’s Night Out (Sept. 10)at Intermix (with Giuseppe Zanotti ). The bag reads: Such a F**king lady, Wait Your Turn! Get it? Got it!
Check out the first video from her forthcoming album, Rated R :
Sidebar: This video seems like a extended version of the promo video…
The ICB verdict: the video is trite. Is the WAIT OVA? I feel like I’m waiting for a real video Rih.
Moving on. I’ll wait for Russian Roulette to release on Nov. 13 until then…
I can’t
I cannot
I refuse.

John Mayer Apologizes For Using the ‘N word’ in an Interview
Feb 10th
Posted by icannot in Culture

John Mayer just apologized via Twitter for some of the comments he made during a recent Playboy interview, specifically his use of the ‘N word.’ He writes:
Okay…but what about everything ELSE he said??? But the N-word was just one part of the ignoramus comments made to Playboy. What about likening his penis to a anti-Semite who played a huge role in the KKK, and exploiting his sexual conquests? #imjustsaying.
