@Martaevia La’wayne - Maybe YOU think that her name still carries weight but most of her fans were women and after watching Alicia prance around acting as though she was all for empowerment for women and teaching women to live their best life only to be his mistress as he cheated on his wife and then MARRY the serial cheater a few months after his divorce? Please! No one has time for Alicia anymore! After all, an important part of a person's music is whether we can believe their lyrics and and after Alicia said one thing and did another, There's not too many of us who believe her anymore!
Which is probably why she convinced Mashonda to write a book with her! With Swizz Beats having 3 other babies by 3 other women (including the ex wife he cheated on) and her record sales down, Alicia saw this as a perfect chance to both clear her name with the black community ('I can't be all that bad if Swizz' ex wife has forgiven me, right?') and repair her reputation just before trying to make yet another comeback!
Poor girl! She's not only has 2 children by a has-been music producer with 3 other kids and who isn't trustworthy but she's lost a good portion of her fans too? I guess that shows why it's important to make good decisions.
