Mashonda Interview With The Breakfast Club

Leave a reply

Mashonda, Swizz Beatz ex-wife, was a featured guest on New York’s Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club talking about her new book “Blend”.

I was able to catch this great interview with Mashonda, who is promoting her new book “Blend”, which is about co-parenting with Swizz Beatz & adding his current wife, Alicia Keys, into this blended family to make the kids happy. I swear this is a subject that I feel as if everybody has went through or knows someone who has.

I feel as if Mashonda has came a LONG way since the days of freshly breaking up with Swizz Beatz. There was so much being put out by Mashonda to the blogs! Her specifically calling Alicia a homewrecker & blaming Swizz for leaving her broke. Now in the year of 2018, Mashonda has finally gotten over her past & is moving forward to assist in providing a lovable family situation for Kasseem.

I have not read the book “Blend” yet, but I do plan to. I want to read the part Mashonda stated how Swizz was unable to attend parent teacher conferences, and Alicia offered herself to go in his place. Like, WOW! I do not know any stepmother aka mommy #2 who has stepped up like that! Mashonda mentioned how after that specific situation, she had no choice but to take Alicia serious & to allow her to be a role model as well as a mother to Kasseem too!

“The key to making this partnership to work was letting all the hurt & disappointments go of my relationship not working” stated Mashonda. Trust that if she did not let the past go, that favorite term of “bitter babymomma” would’ve been the talk of the town and the blogs. Which is sad, for who actually plans to raise a baby on their own? I know I did not.

I give so much kudos to Mashonda & Swizz Beatz for turning their whole relationship around for the sake of Kasseem, and I give kudos to Alicia for being that supportive wife & stepmother which helped Mashonda to view her in a way that allowed her to move on from her past.

Artistic Rebels 3rd Anniversary

Leave a reply

#Team216TheBeatCleveland had the opportunity to broadcast live at the Artistic Rebels 3rd Anniversary party and dance competition.

The Cleveland team had the chance to broadcast live at the Artistic Rebels 3rd Anniversary party and dance competition in Beachwood, OH on May 19th. While my team was setting things up, I had the chance to check out the venue & meet the different dance crews who were participating in the competition. The first group, for which I already figured out who they was, the Artistic Rebels, who was dressed in all black with red lettering. The next group, TK Entertainment, hailing from my father’s & LeBron’s hometown, Akron, OH. One of the groups whose energy was I truly enjoyed was, Next Step. Then last but not least the group, Mute Crew.

As soon as 7:30pm came in one of 216 The Beats djs, Dj Raven, started playing on the 1s & 2s….a whole vibe entered the dance studio. Every time I turned my head it was someone dancing or doing their own dance move getting hyped! The dance competition did not start yet, so I assumed the dancers were just warming up to past time.

The energy was so positive throughout the whole event. I can admit, due to my busy schedule, I rarely get time to myself just to have fun, and I can say that not me, but the rest of 216 The Beat crew truly enjoyed ourselves. It felt like a mini melting pot. There was people of different races, for example, it was a guy, who just joined the Artistic Rebels, had came up to represent for his crew, people of all different ages…I think the oldest person was 50 and the youngest was 2 years old, and with all those teens there, nobody started any drama or fights.

The Artistic Rebels, which is an entertainment company who specializes in promotion, choreography and more, truly held a great and organized event. I loved seeing all the support from everyone who came out to the event, some even danced in the mirror by themselves LOL Their was 2 dancers that got my attention was a young girl, I believe she is part of TK Entertainment crew, can dance!! I also enjoyed watching this younger kid who looked to be about 8, he kept doing one of my favorite dance move that is hot right now!

Once the time changed to 9:30pm, the competition was ready to start! Unfortunately, I had to leave before the competition ended, but I will say is that EVERY crew brought it! The 3 winners were:

1st Place – Dauve
2nd Place – Ernie
3rd Place – Limbo Joe

On behalf of 216 The Beat Radio, we want to congratulate the winners!! I hope we will be back next year for the 4th anniversary.
