@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 Swizz Beat's mistress and then MARRY the serial cheating fool 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 is probably going broke paying for all of the lawyers AND his kids! She probablysaw this as a perfect chance to make money, try to 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! Good plan.....not going to work!
Still, this is sad. 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.
