Music producer Swizz Beats has confirmed his relationship with R&B sweetheart Alicia Keys!

The couple has tried to remain hush-hush about their relationship, but Swizz spilled the shiz in his track with Drake titled Best I Ever Had.

The lyrics?

Wake up in the morning and my baby cooked me breakfast, A's naked wearing nothing on but a necklace …

Yeah, she say she wanna treat me like a king; I get big gifts so the money ain't a damn thing

She gave me a party at the Guggenheim … What's next? The ring? The baby? She really loves me!

Keys reportedly threw one hell of a birthday party for the hip hop mogul at the Guggenheim last year.

So why keep on the DL for so long?

"What we have is so precious," Swizz told reporters of his relationship with Keys.

We think it's more like Swizz wants to keep Alicia as far away as possible from the dramz!

His ex-wife and baby momma, R&B singer Mashonda, is squeezing the producer dry!

Mashonda was blabbing to reporters all the way back in September that Keys was a "homewrecker"!

She's demanding more $$$ from her ex-husband in child support even though Swizz Beats hands over $3,500 monthly to Mashonda to support their 2-year-old son Kasseem Jr. as well as footing the costs for all of her bills!

Friends of the hip-hop producer have even painted Mashonda as a money-grubbing mommy: "Swizz has put settlement offers on the table, but Mashonda won't say what she needs. She just came back from Paris and London. She drives a Bentley Flying Spur and a Cadillac Escalade. I don't think life's too bad for her."

Can U say greedy?

Did they Photoshop our doggy into that pic????

A pooch - that eerily resembles international superstar Teddy Hilton - is featured alongside Alicia Keys in an homage to Michelle Obama and her daughters in the new issue of Glamour magazine.

The mag has a spread in their new issue which showcases young gals impersonating "American Icons," such as Lindsay Lohan doing Madonna.

She wishes!

Alicia Keys slipped out of her stunning lavender gown to change into an equally vibrant yellow dress for the Vanity Fair Oscar party Sunday night.

That color looks a-maaazing with her skin tone!

Although, we're not sure about the hair!

It's looking a little Beyowulf!

Don't mess with a woman scorned!

According to a new report, Alicia Keys could be named as "the other woman" in the divorce of hip-hop producer Swizz Beatz and R&B singer Mashonda.

The soon-to-be former Mrs. Swizz apparently lost her shiz when she heard about the birthday party Alicia threw for Swizz at the Manhattan Louis Vuitton store last week, where guests included Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony and Robin Thicke.

A friend of Swizz told the media, "His relationship with Alicia began after their separation. He hasn't kept it a secret. He still has great love for Mashonda and has promised to take care of her and their son and support her career."

But Mashonda argues otherwise.

A friend reveals, "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."

The couple first announced their separation in April but a friend of Mashonda argues, "That was his announcement. She got sucked into it. She thought they were trying to put their marriage back together. Meanwhile, he's apparently been telling Alicia that his marriage was over."

Mashonda has now hired some big time lawyer to fight her case.

"This could have been handled quietly. But now Mashonda has taken the gloves off," says a friend.

The divorce is gonna cost Swizz mucho dinero!!!

Alicia Keys' shocking comments to Blender magazine sure has kicked up quite the firestorm for the singer.

Keys called-in to Ryan Seacrest' radio show Tuesday to do damage control "clear things up."

Overall, she thought the Blender article was great, but she is disappointed that the mag decided to put a 'negative spin' on her comments.

Alicia thinks she was misconstrued in the article and she'd like us to know….

- That she's a very positive person.
- Her only aim is to uplift people and spread love.
- She's not a conspiracy theorist.
- The government didn't create gangsta rap, just the term. And, she thinks they could have done more at the time to do something about the problems the rappers were talking about.
- She doesn't know who killed Biggie and 2pac, but she thinks the media sensationalized their deaths and their rivalry.

And there you have it!

If that Blender reporter has an audio recording of the Alicia interview, we'd LOVE to post it on PerezHilton.com!

BET held their first annual BET Honors ceremony in Washington, D.C. on Saturday night.

And the ladies brought out some serious wigs and weaves!

Tyra Banks, Alicia Keys and Vivica A. Fox were all in attendance. Banks was honored for being a role model to young women.

Kudos!
