Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz
Swizz Beatz first revealed that Alicia Keys wasn’t feeling the gift during an interview with Angie Martinez. “I don’t think she liked the goddamn car,” he said of the gift. He added that it was “still at the dealership,” while Martinez noted that Keys doesn’t seem like the “flashy” type. Swizz continued: “I know she was already thinking like, ‘Are they gonna be on me if I bring the kids to school in this? Are people gonna know how I’m movin’?’ [I’m sure] she start[ed] thinking like that way with it. She [was just] being very polite.” Virgil Abloh designed the car in partnership with Gorden Wagener, Mercedes-Benz’s chief design officer, before his death in November 2021. The car is a Mercedes-Maybach S-Class S680.
Swizz Beatz and Keys married back in 2010 after knowing one another since they were teens. Together, they share two children, Egypt Daoud Dean and Genesis Ali Dean.
