Mashonda believes that Keys and her estranged husband carried on an affair which lead to the demise of their marriage.

A birthday party Alicia threw for Swizz put his ex over the edge.

"Alicia introduced Swizz as 'The man of the hour and my boo.' Mashonda has had enough. She put her career on hold to be a wife and mother. She's tired of pretending she's deaf, dumb and blind to what's going on. She can't believe how disrespectful Alicia is being," an insider tells the Daily News.

But Swizz is denying that Alicia had anything to do with the split.

"I can no longer ignore the harmful rumors, that my friend Alicia Keys is in any way linked to my marital circumstances or to the decision that [my wife] Mashonda and I have made to separate," he tells Usmagazine.com

"I am disappointed that some have chosen to try and tarnish Alicia's reputation by irresponsibly implicating her in a situation that she has absolutely nothing to do with," he adds.

"This experience has been one of the most difficult times in my life,and as was stated when we announced our separation several months ago, I ask that you continue to respect my privacy in dealing with this personal matter," Beatz finishes.

Mashonda and Swizz were married for 5 years and have a son, 1-year-old Kasseem Dean Jr.
