Swizz Beatz 'never argues with Alicia Keys'
Swizz Beatz doesn't see any point in arguing with Alicia Keys, his wife of 15 years.
Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys have never argued.
The 46-year-old record producer married Alicia, 44, back in 2010, and Swizz insists that they've never had an argument in all the time they've been together.
He told Us Weekly: "Marriage is definitely a big word, but look at it like your best friend.
"The communication is there. We’ve never had an argument. Since we’ve been together, our kids [have] never seen it; never seen us raise our voice [or] never seen us yell. Never seen us curse at each other. Why? Because of communication."
The loved-up couple - who have sons Egypt, 14, and Genesis, ten, together - feel that nothing can be resolved by arguing.
Swizz - whose real name is Kasseem Dean - said: "People think they can own people. You can’t. It’s not property that you own. There’s a whole human, right?
"So, we’re very clear on that. She’s her own boss. I’m my own boss. That’s how we make magic when we come together. I think that helps because people start getting very territorial and making their partner property, and I think that’s the biggest mistake."
Swizz was born and raised in the Bronx, in New York, and the producer hopes that his success can inspire some up-and-coming stars.
The producer - who also has Prince Nasir, 24, Kasseem Jr, 18, and, Nicole, 16, from previous relationships - said: "Coming from the South Bronx, if I can do it, anybody can do it.
"I come from the lowest of the low. I hope I can leave a legacy where people that doubt themselves can just go hard and use what I’ve done - what my family is doing - as a stepping stone and a blueprint to get into the next level."
