?uestlove from the Roots stole a page from Swizz Beat's estranged wife Mashonda's attention whoring book and posted an open letter to Stevie Wonder accusing him of breaking up his family and of not having the guts to speak to him about it. ?uest copied Mashonda's letter word for word except at the end where Mashonda says, "This is not a publicity stunt, I don't have a record coming out." ?uest ends his letter by plugging his new cd declaring, "This is a publicity stunt, I do have a record coming out in February called How I Got Over."

After having a great evening with my band and enjoying some fun twit chat, I decided to sign off and get some work done. However, a few hours later I was advised that I should check @_steviewonder twit page. I've never reached out to him on twitter before. I feel our issues are a lot more serious than a website conversation. Not to mention that I've reached out to him many times in the beginning of this whole thing, as any husband would do. Unfortunately, I never succeeded in getting a response. The 1st time I meet SW, my wife @auntesther introduced us to each other at an event. ( I have no choice but to call her my wife, until she is not anymore) In the messages that I sent to him (SW), I made it very clear that on the contrary of what he might be (only) hearing, I am still married to my wife, living with her and just had a child. Its been two years and I still have not received a response. What I do receive, is constant displays of selfishness and disconcern to me and my seed.
I was a fan of SW's 70s genius streak, we are both signed to Universal Records (he Motown and me Def Jam) and I always checked up on his projects since i was a youngin. I sang his songs and admired him for creating Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You) and Rocket Love, I would never deny him, his talent. I believed in him until I found out he was possibly sleeping with my wife @auntesther. The affair was denied by both, until it was finally admitted months later.
