Amidst the drama surrounding A. Keys and Swizz Beats, the singer is moving forward with some exciting news. Keys is co-founder and global ambassador for Keep A Child Alive, a non-profit organization that provides HIV/AIDS medicine and she dished to BET about their annual fundraiser:

“The Black Ball is one of the most special nights of my life,” Alicia told BET.com in an exclusive interview from the set of "Doesn’t Mean Anything." “What it allows me to do is have an event for my fundraiser, Keep A Child Alive, and we’re able to invite some of the most eclectic people in one room. You can’t believe who’s in this room.”

  • I love Alicia and what she does for KCA. I wish more people would care about the kids in Africa and India the way she does.
  • Good Stuff Alicia! Keep it up!
  • We don't know what happened. We don't know if they were separated before AKeys hooked up with Swizz. I think Mashonda was jealous when she found out he was seeing AKeys during the separation. Anyway -- it was Swizz that broke up the marriage not Alicia. If a man don't want you with or without a child keep it moving -- He don't want you he wants AKeys so - stop sulking and move on -- Mashonda is hurting her child more than Swizz and AKeyz is doing. She's a woman scorned. Man!!!!
  • we reap what we sow. I think it's unfortunate that Alicia has to grow up in the public eye and make mistakes that alot of us have made for everyone to see and judge. I believe she got a little cocky in what she wanted and allowed herself to believe it was okay to go for the "spark" and not for what was "smart" as she recently twitted. Now she made one of the biggest mistakes a woman can make when it comes to love - and that is break up a marriage, especially a marriage with a young baby. I kind of, sort of, feel sorry for Alicia because she made a mistake that is going to keep on giving...giving her grief that is. It is better to be offended than to offend, so in this respect, I hope Mashonda can heal and move on to a real man.
  • It is her fault. She chose to be with a married man while knowing he was married. Everyone knows that unfortunately to some men, vows mean about as much to them as someone reading it off a teleprompter. It is up to women to be stronger than that and respect themselves. Her image is forever tarnished to me. Anything to prove she's not a lesbian, huh?
  • I think that we should stop going after just her Swizz was the one who took vows with Mashonda not Alicia and don't get me wrong I don't agree with it either way but it is a two way street and we treat it like it's just her fault
  • I didn't judge her by saying she's going to hell or that she's a bad person. I simply said i didn't agree with her choices. The facts are what they are, the man was/is married and he is with Akeys. Regardless if he wasn't happy, the wife was a witch, fact remains they are married. We as women should respect when a man is married even if he doesn't. Thou shall not covet the neighbor's wife/husband.
  • We as a people are so quick to judge. You do not know what is really going on with there lives. There are always two sides to a story.Remember "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone".
  • The sad thing is, I really tried to look over her personal choices involving Swiss, but it just deteriorates her image. I really do appreciate her proclivity for humanity, we definitely need more of that.
  • Alicia is officially portrayed as a homewrecker. Her humble and superwoman behavior is a fraud. She cant even be a real woman to mashonda. Focus on efforts at home. Look for men that arnt married.
  • I applaud all of Alicia's humanitarian efforts and hopefully she can have a positive effect on someone perhaps the world even. I feel compelled to say I don't agree with the personal choice she made to date a married man regardless of what he said. According to Mashonda they both denied it to her, which would imply AK knew they were still together in every sense or his wife wouldn't have been asking. AKeys keep doing the great works that you do globally. I hate to blemish something great she's done with something ugly, but it is what it is. Just beware because it's all good when a person is cheating to be with you, but when they start cheating on you it feels real bad. The odds are not in your favor if things went down the way it's being presented. I don't care if they lived in separate houses and the relationship was shaky, it was or is a marriage. I believe the divorce is not final. Right is right.
