“Thank you” so very much (to those of you who remembered) for all of the many emails and well wishes sent to all of my various email in boxes. Can’t get nothing past some of you. lol….
Please give me some time to catch up, as I was traveling.
I’m grateful to God for such a loyal following.
Peace & Blessings to you all. 🙂

Not according to Swizz Beatz ex-wife Mashonda.
In the October issue of Sister2Sister magazine, Mashonda is still making it very clear that, Alicia Keys was her husband’s mistress.
“We were married. Sleeping in the same bed and having sex every night while he was seeing Alicia. Okay? It was an affair. 100 percent. I don’t know why people want to change that rule so much. We had just had a kid, for crying out loud. Our child was 8 months. I found out about Alicia two days before my son turned 1. They had been doing their thing for months before that.”
And although Swizz and Alicia have since moved on, are happily married and expecting their first child together, people continue to ask Mashonda; why is she still speaking out about them?
“My story is a universal thing. This is not just something that only happened to me: This happens to women every day. Mine was just ugly. If I can help the next woman get through and be positive, then I’m going to talk about it.”
Mashonda then added, how Alicia Keys wanted her son (Kasseem Jr.) to call her mommy and how she addressed her in an email.
“Yeah. I sent her an email and asked her to please respect what I am to him and it’s not right for her to think that is okay. She never replied. She doesn’t reply to me. She has never given me that respect.”
“It is so unfair to the child. I have been in contact with the little girls mother (the woman in England who has Swizz’s baby). She’s a young girl. She’s a spiritual girl. She apologized to me… I don’t even judge her. I can’t. She’s totally different than the other one. This other one knew. Alicia knew about me 100 percent. Swizz introduced me at prior events. They were signed to the same record company. She knew. And I emailed her and asked her to stop doing what she was doing and she disregarded me. Just like she disregarded me when I asked her to not have my son thinking it was okay to call her “umi.” You’re not his umi. You just met my son.”
“Umi” means “mommy” in Arabic. I’m like no. And then after I spoke to the lady in London, she told me that she tried to get her daughter to call her “umi” as well.
Mashonda should have addressed her child’s father Swizz regarding this issue, not Alicia.
You can read more of this twisted mess by picking up a copy of the October issue of Sister2Sister magazine.
I had to post this picture that was sent to me from loyal “CEO blog reader” “Tabatha”, of Former boxing champ Mike Tyson and his adorable little girl Milan.
Tyson attended the premiere of ESPN Films “One Night In Vegas” with his little angel at the Dwyer Cultural Center in NYC yesterday.
Look at those cheeks!!!! Milan is adorable.
My girlfriend and business crony Madonna (L), is celebrating 25 years in business and her huge celebratory Soiree took place on Thursday August 26, 2010 at the Venetian in Garfield, NJ… She’s pictured with my sister Theresa (R).
Madonna is not only a self-made successful business woman but she owns and operate her own establishments in 2 locations. The Madonna Multinational Home for Funerals and Chewey Vuitton doggy day care.
Madonna really knows how to throw a party! And YES “God has been good to her”…
The highlight of Madonna’s event was when she wheeled out her anniversary cake made in the fashion of a corpse (Pictured below). The crowd went crazy!
The cakes name: “Ghost Girl”
Yes that’s her face on the head of the cake..
One of the attendants (at the Venetian) places the candles around the torso of the cake. If you notice she’s holding flowers., isn’t that creative?
The crowd just couldn’t get over the cake!
Madonna is also a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority., Inc. And when one of her Soro sisters saw the corpse cake ( Ghost Girl), she ran away saying “I don’t like it – I don’t like it – I don’t like it – I don’t like it!!”
Pictured here with Madonna (center), are the beautiful women of her Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.
Phloyd T. Bell.,Owner and Proprietor of Greta Car Service (Pictured here), escorted some lovely women to the event. You can check out his website to view that!
Do y’all remember my cousins Kenyatta (L) and SheShar (R)?? The same cousins who appeared on my old blog when I featured their photo (Inset picture) from a September 2009 family event that was rained out. Does anyone remember that? Anyway, they were representing at Madonna’s affair looking sexy and fierce!!!!
They are pictured here again with my aunt O’Swive, my mom’s youngest sister.
Passaic activist Kasim Washington and his beautiful wife Doshanna were in attendance. They are both extremely active in the city of Passaic.
I’m pictured here with my BFF “K-Force”. Do y’all remember her? Too bad my old blog site died, otherwise you would be able to check her in my archives.
Congratulations Madonna!!!!!! For thriving 25 years in business!! —-We here at the CEO’s BlogSpot salute you on your success!
My girl Madonna… standing near her cake.
What do you think of the cake?
I know you all are going to tell me. 🙂 So….Go for it!!!
The cake I believe had two fillings, chocolate (madonna’s screen name) and caramel.
