JAHNA SEBASTIAN: SWIZZ BEATZ IS A GOOD FATHER TO OUR DAUGHTER
Jahna Sebastian does a marvelous job of keeping her private life out of the spotlight when it comes to her daughter, Nicole Dean. Outside of the pictures she shares on Instagram, we really don’t know much about the singer as a mom. Well, that’s about to change.
Jahna recently sat down for a one-on-one interview with TheHomeOfHipHop.com, and talked about everything from her life as a mom now to the months of pregnancy that she had to endure alone in order to protect her unborn child from scandal. Check out what the artist had to say!
On initially remaining silent about her daughter with Swizz Beatz.
“I did not want the news about my pregnancy and my daughter’s birth to become the reason [for] his divorce [from Mashonda]. It wasn’t because I kept it secret from most people and from the media, although I mentioned the name in my immigration case during that time when I wasn’t asked but demanded confidentiality from them. On top of that I didn’t even want to have anything [to do] with a married man, but I had to put my pride aside to give my child a chance to have a relationship with her father, however it had to happen at the right time. I only reached out with official paperwork after I have found out that the divorce had already been filed for totally different reasons that had nothing to do with my child and I. I wanted to save my daughter from that kind of negativity, because children are innocent. During those two years until I reached out I had to deal with everything on my own without any child support and I was not entitled to any welfare at all either, those were hard times. I have never been on welfare anyway. Having a child in the UK does not give you the right to stay here or get [a] British passport, you have to have other valid reasons to stay and prove that you can also contribute to the community, which I have done. If I didn’t fight for my immigration case at that time, Nicole would have also been deported to Russia. However, at least my daughter had nothing to do with the divorce and everybody was happy to find out about her.”
How often does Swizz see Nicole?
“Three to four times a year on average. I have always supported their relationship. That was the initial reason I reached out in the first place because a child deserves a chance to have a relationship with the father.”
Is Beatz a good father?
“Yes.”

Oh cute picture of them.
So what does she want us to think of her now? That she is some kind of martyr for not letting HER child become the reason for the divorce. Children have nothing to do with the cheating of adults. I really don’t think anyone would have thought the child was to blame but Jahna would have definitely been looked at quite differently. Who knew his then wife wouldn’t even mind that she slept with Swizz? And she didn’t want ANYTHING to do with a married man? Then why did she have anything to do with him? Oh well, Swizz does seem to be handling all his responsibilities and obviously loves all his children. More power to him and I’m sure he see’s the little girl as much as he can.
3-4 times a year is misleading-whether done intentionally or not.. Swizz seems to spend extended period of time with Nicole.
Alsos find some of the other quotes and explanations to be quite funny but oh well…
She’s a cutie pie. Looks just like her Dad. Thank goodness for Skype but there’s nothing like sitting on your Daddy’s lap giggling while soaking up kisses.
As she gets older I’m sure they’ll see more of each other. Nicole has decent, well-rounded parents.
If you follow him on Instagram you will see that he sees her for extended periods of time. They take annual family trips with all of the kids. So 3-4 times a year is not 3-4 days.
Nicole looks like his oldest son, Nasir. As long as everyone is happy who cares.
She said 3-4 times a year not 3-4 days a year. She lives in Europe, but we’ve seen her here in the US during the summer. So maybe she spends summers here that’s a couple of months. Then we’ve seen her brothers in Europe with her. If he goes a couple of weeks each time that could be 4 out of 12 months. She is in school. Not to mention phone calls and Skype. Looks like he sent her flowers too. Sweet.
He only sees her 3-4 times a year?!?! o_O Why?
Should he see her more often? He got other kids to visit too now….
There are 365 days in a year so yes he sould see her more.
Divide that by his 28 kids and they’d probably all get 3-4 days a year
Twinsies.
