In the eyes of many, Mashonda looked like the bitter ex in her high-profile divorce from Swizz Beatz. The producer almost made it seem as if she wanted him back. In 2009, Swizz Beatz and Mashonda ended their marriage of over ten years. Before the end of the year, Alicia Keys was pregnant with Swizzy's child.

Mashonda immediately began directing insults towards the new family. She went as far as accusing Alicia Keys of trying to take her children from her. Keys said she thought of Swizz Beatz' other children as her own children. Mashonda took this as Keys trying to take her family.

Nearly two years have passed since Mashonda and Swizz Beatz ended things. Mashonda has been trying to put her relationship with the Ruff Ryder in the past. She said she will be happy when she, Swizz Beatz, and Alicia Keys do not have to always be mentioned in the same conversation. Mashonda also made it clear she has options outside of Swizzy.

Recently, Mashonda covered KING magazine and she said she receives plenty of attention from groupies, both male and female. When speaking of her fans, Mashonda said she does not like to call them groupies because they appreciate her. She said she loves everyone, so when male groupies come on to her, she talks to them for a little while. Mashonda said "you never know" when asked if she could take things farther with a new man in her life.
