Grammy Award-winning producer and hip-hop artist Swizz Beatz says singer Alicia Keys is not to blame for his marital breakup, he tells Usmagazine.com.

"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," Beatz tells Us.

"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," Beatz, a father of two, says.

"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 tells Us.

Beatz - who has worked with Keys, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, Lil Kim and Eve among others - is currently preparing an art show to benefit the Children's Cancer & Blood Foundation.

    I heard alicia keys caught HIV from swizz beats, her sick looking married boyfriend. why are celebritys so desperate that they can't find their own, single man. she looks like a whore in her eyes anyway. i also heard she does drugs too. ALICIA KEYS- NOTHING MORE THAN A TRASHY LITTLE INDUSTRY WHORE/TRAMP!

    Alicia ain't a lesbian. She's just a little tomboyish sometimes.

    In the immortal words of Stevie Wonder..."when you believe in things you don't understand you suffer..." I prefer to believe the best about people unless I witness something first hand. I ignore the "he say, she say" because it's just childish. Educated, mature, and happy people mind their own business.

    Mashonda and Swizz Beatz made a good couple and hopefully they could ignore all the rumors and be friends.
