Here is R&B singer and classically trained pianist, Alicia Keys out shopping with her man, music producer,Swizz Beatz in the accompaniment of another man who we will say is Ms. Keys' bodyguard. Notice how Swizz Beatz is WALKING behind Alicia Keys, his woman, while SHE hangs on to the bodyguard's, meaning another man, arm to keep her balance while crossing the street.
Not that it really matters about the other man's occupation but  when did a man -- a real one at that, stop accepting responsibility and allow another man to show him up LIKE THIS?  I thought that was a 'no-no'.
Is Swizz trying to be cool or macho? Considering that his woman had to hold onto another man's arm to possibly prevent herself from falling, twisting an ankle, etc, was this the right time for Swizz to be sporting this bravado (even at the risk of looking stupid as hell)?

1st of all, we must note dudes from men. dudes r those weak ass mofos who r only men when it suits them & that is n the bedroom or wherever they r going 2 give the biz. men handle their biz regardless of the situation & won't hesitate 2 let another man know what time it is. Swizz is a dude but may b old girl like them types but b longing 4 the man who is the real deal which is a obvious case and point by the photo. real real real talk son.

I would like to add that a real man would not be walking behind his woman but beside her as they both should be. Swizz is a weak brother and most sisters don't like a weak man because of what they as women have been through and a weak man would only bring them down or cause them to no longer be respected by them. All I have to say is that experience taught me that a sister like my queen and bride to be a wants a man that knows how or is prepared to challenge her authority by being in the role of a man in order to earn her respect. Looking at this picture Swizz didn't get that memo. A damn shame.

co-sign with Yung and Ju Ju. Based on what you both said, I would like to add my 2 cents as a woman in this. Keys don't respect this man at all because he is not stepping up. I guess he don't know how or just intimidated by a man who is showing authority or the ability to take charge. Women like that. Some of us anyway.

Sad to say it but I am going to go with everyone on this post and say Swizz is on some weak shit right now. I thought that he was doing some foul, low minded nonsense when he was bitching back and forth with Mashonda on Twitter. What MAN resorts to childish antics like that? I lost mad respect for the BOY in him for that one. Totally bitchass move if I must say so myself and how he is walking behind Alicia shows what kind of man he is. He is not keeping it 100. I wish my woman would lean on another man for support in my face. that would be a problem that would need to be discussed on the spot. I would not doubt if Alicia is on some regret bid right now. I really don't think that they will make it for the long haul. Judging by this picture it is evident that she is already tired of him.

This is the very reason why black women have so much of an issue with black men today. Most black men don't know how to be men because they never seen a man of their own image do anything positive as far as uplifting their own women than they have in tearing them down but yet putting women of other races on a pedestal. No wonder so many of our most valuable resources are turning to the other team if not sleeping with the enemy. Black men have got to do better. Stand up and represent and respect the black woman.

It was a bitch move for him to start screwing her before he was divorced from his wife...What makes her think he is an honorable man...women get me, they start a relationship on a bad foundation and then look stupid when that shit crumbles and they are treated in a disrespectful manner....Remember ladies...Once a bitchass nucca....Always a bitchass nucca
