Being Mr. Alicia Keys is turning into a pretty lucrative gig for hip-hopster Swizz Beatz.

On Friday, the sometimes rapper and superproducer was named as the first-ever producer-in-residence at the Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music at New York University’s world-renowned Tisch School of the Arts.

Effective immediately.

According to school administrators, Swizz (real name Kaseem Dean) will be offering group lectures, one-on-one sessions, and mentoring as well as songwriting advice to Tisch students. The former DJ is a native of New York’s gritty South Bronx and has produced hits for acts including Drake, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Metallica, Eve, and Beyonce.

It’s a boy for singing star Alicia Keys and her husband Swizz Beatz — who we affectionately like to call Toucan Sam! A. Keys and Swizzy welcomed the arrival of their son Egypt Dauode Dean at New York’s St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital late Thursday.

“I’m so thankful for everything I been blessed with in my life wowwwwww!” Beatz Tweeted of the baby news on Friday.

Little Egypt is the first child for the “Un-Thinkable” singer and the third (depending on who’s telling the story) for her superproducer hubby.

Alicia, 29, and Swizz, 31, married July 31, after a mini-scandal erupted over claims that the Harlem-bred humanitarian began sleeping with Swizz while he was still married to singer Mashonda.

A. Keys has married the man who will likely cheat on her a few babies down the road.

Here are two shots from superproducer Swizz Beatz and Grammy-winning songbird Alicia Keys’ European wedding this weekend in the southern Corsica, Piantarella in France. Alica Keys wore a Vera Wang dress complete with colored diamond tiara. The groom sported a custom suit designed Tom Ford.

The couple has been dating since 2008, after meeting during Swizzy’s ill-fated marriage to jilted R&B singer Mashonda. The are expecting their first child in November.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned….and then there’s Mashonda: For the first time ever, the ex-wife of Swizz Beatz is revealing the whole truth and nothing but. In a candid two-part interview, R&B singer Mashonda, 29, opens up to VIBE Magazine’s Tracy Garraud about her turbulent union with the hip-hop superproducer, the affair that left her crushed, and why she’s more resilient than ever.

Mashonda claims Swizz admitted that he was having an affair with “Un-Thinkable” star Alicia Keys after she found documentation of their trysts in various hotels back in 2008. The couple went public with their romance at the Gotham Magazine Gala in March, much to the chagrin of his ex-wife.

Vibe: I know it was very important for you to sit down with Alicia if she was going to be around your son. Safe to assume that happened?
Mashonda: “When I wrote her that Twitter letter everybody wanted to say things like ‘Oh, what do you need to meet her for? It’s not her problem, it’s Swizz’s. I’m like, ‘You have a kid, go through what I went through and then talk to me.’ I’m not having my son around anybody I don’t know. I don’t give a [fig] who you are and how much money you have and what management he’s going to be under when he visits you. I need to see you and I need you to see how serious I am about him. And that’s what happened. We had to sit down, and I told her how I felt. I didn’t mention anything else, it was all about my son and it was fine after that. I’m not going sit and talk to [them] about what happened between the three of us. This is about my son.”

Vibe: How did you introduce [your son] Kasseem to Alicia?
Mashonda: “This is daddy’s friend Alicia… Daddy’s girlfriend.’ I don’t want him to ever go over there feeling uncomfortable.”

Vibe: When did this meeting finally take place?
Mashonda: “It took a good year and a half. I think that only happened in March.”

Vibe: How was Alicia’s demeanor?
Mashonda: “She just listened.”

Vibe: This all sounds like a really awkward gathering…
Mashonda: “It wasn’t awkward; I wouldn’t have done it if I wasn’t ready. I said what I had to say as a mom. It was a whole sit down dinner. So you know how intimate that is. There are certain things we have to do as women in order to move forward.”

Vibe: You mentioned there being infidelity prior to Alicia. What happened?
Mashonda: “His older son Nasir was born while we were together. We were living together [and] I was pregnant at the time. I stressed so much because I found out [the other woman] was pregnant… it put me into pre-labor,” she explains.

“I lost my baby in 2000 when I was five-and-a-half months. It was tragedy. Nothing compares to losing a child. That [stuff] put me into a two-year depression, it took me six years to even try [having a baby] again. I was afraid. So not only did I lose my baby, but now I was waiting for this other woman to have hers. Because of what happened to me, he wanted me to name the baby. He wanted a Muslim name and I loved the name Nasir. The first time I met Nasir we fell in love and whenever we had visitation he was my baby. I took care of him. We did everything that I would do with [Kaseem]. And when Swizz did that interview with DJ Enuff, he mentioned that I made him choose between his marriage and his son, and I was like ‘What?!’That kills me the most. He was saying these things because these are probably the things he told her,” Mashonda reflected.

“Obviously something is wrong with his morals, but I don’t play with kids. Even now with Alicia’s pregnancy, I believe she deserves privacy. I hate hearing people wish bad stuff on her and the baby. I’m like ‘People shut up!’ This is a child, an actual life… someone who has nothing to do with what’s going on right now. I wish her the most successful, healthy pregnancy in the world, that child is going to be my son’s brother or sister and that’s the only way to look at it.”

Vibe: How did you even find out that [Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz] were engaged and she was pregnant?
Mashonda: “I knew these things for a couple of months… I never talked to him about it though. It’s his life, but people talk. Nobody is nobody’s friend when it comes to stuff like this. There are people in their circles that talk and it gets back to me and I’m like ‘Wow, okay.’ I still feel like we should tell each other…No, I don’t care. I don’t give him the vibe that I care, so he wouldn’t feel obligated to tell me.”

Alicia Keys’ unborn baby with producer fiance Swizz Beatz was been blessed in a traditional Zulu ceremony during the star’s recent trip to South Africa .

Tribesmen gave the mom-to-be and her baby traditional African names underneath a fig tree, dubbed the “healing tree” by locals, in a ceremony over the weekend.

The tribal leaders agreed to bless mother and child as a thank you for charity work completed in the area by Alicia Keep A Child Alive charity, which aims to save youngsters whose parents have died of AIDS.

“Alicia has been made part of the tribal family because she really reached out to the people here,” the charity’s director Jackie Bradfield tells London’s Daily Mail. “Two female priests who practise a mix of Christianity and tribal custom chose new names for her and the unborn child as a mark of respect. The names were kept between them, but were chosen to reflect Alicia’s character. Alicia had to do a special dance with drums banging in the background, and was embraced by abused children who she has helped. She was chosen for the ceremony as a thank you, because she has done a lot to keep children’s lives afloat and for us to afford our support staff. Her partner came too – he held her hand and helped her sit down when she needed rest.”

Alicia, 29, is expecting her first child with the producer later this year.
