Alicia's husband branded a 'love cheat'

Grammy winner Alicia Keys has been left blindsided, after aspiring singer/songwriter, Christina Elizabeth, went public with her claims that Alicia's husband has been texting her, asking to hook-up!

Twenty-three-year-old Christina, who says she is speaking out because, "I'm being put out there as a liar and I am very embarrassed", told celeb website, Bossip.com she met Alicia's music producer husband, Swizz Beatz (real name, Kaseem Dean) back in 2007, and that he's been texting her throughout his relationship with the singer.

"Recently, we've been contacting each other, but I haven't physically seen him," the Texas native told Bossip. "We were making plans to, but I had to work and I wasn't going to take off work to go see him."

And Christina also revealed she was seeing Swizz during his first marriage to R&B singer, Mashonda Tifrere, revealing, "He snuck me through the house and it was all odd to me until I found a gift with Mashonda and Kaseem's name on it. I asked him later on why he was cheating on her and he basically said she wasn't being the wife he needed." Adding, "He also said that if she asked if he was cheating, he would not lie to her, but he wouldn't come right out and tell her."

But Alicia, who welcomed the couple's son, Egypt, in October last year, has refused to believe a word of Christina's allegations, taking to Twitter to insist, "Haaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Some things are just LAUGHABLE!!!!!" And posing next to a red Lotus sports car that Swizz bought her.
