Check out the below excerpts from the Magazine;

On her overall first impression of Swizz Beatz
Swizz will have the fastest car, the biggest jewelery, the loudest jacket; everything with him is really over the top. I used to see him and think, “He is so annoying.”

On writing “That’s When I Knew” for Swizz Beatz
That’s when I Knew” is definitely an ode to my husband… Honestly, I didn’t really like him that much. I thought he was too ostentatious.

On what she’s learned from her relationship
I think we’ve taught each other a lot. He’s taught me to live more fully and I think I’ve taught him to live more deeply..
