Happy Birthday wishes are in order for Genesis Ali! The son of Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz celebrated his 9th birthday on December 27th.
To celebrate Genesis’ special day, Keys posted a carousel of images on Instagram.
“My beautiful boy!!” she began her sweet birthday tribute.
She continued, “Happy Born Day My Amazing Son! You are singularly spectacular!!! There is NO ONE like you!! That’s my favorite thing about you!! You know you! Keep being you! Never doubt your greatness! You are unforgettable!! Keep glowing!!!! You are adored on so many levels!!!!! Happy Birthday!!!!”
Genesis’ father, Kasseem Daoud Dean, aka Swizz Beatz, posted his own special birthday tribute to his son.
The 45-year-old began his caption, “It’s a real Mob Boss Birthday aka Gen Capone,” he joked, “Happy 19th I mean 9th bday we love you so much. AKA top security.”
He concluded his post by saying, “Deep down my guy is a loving soul. The most honest person I ever met so don’t ask him a question if your not ready for the uncut answer. We love you my prince. Please wish Gen HBD although he said he don’t want nobody saying HBD, as you can see he don’t like pics also.”
Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz share two children together, 13-year-old Egypt Daoud and Genesis Ali. Swizz is also father to three children from previous relationships, Prince Nasir, 22, Kasseem Jr., 16, and Nicole, 15.
Keys, whose real name is Alicia Augello Cook, recently debuted her new musical, “Hell’s Kitchen,” which took the singer 13 years to bring to fruition. Consequently enough, the story centers around the one thing that is the most important to her: family.
“Good things take time and for 13 years, I’ve been dreaming, developing and finding inspiration for a musical based on my experience growing up in Hell’s Kitchen, NYC. Hell’s Kitchen is inspired by my life, but it’s not a biographical story,” she told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview.
She continued, “It’s a story about family relationships and identity: Who are we? Who do we want to be? Who are we becoming? The score features new songs that I’m really excited to get out into the world alongside many of my album releases that you know but you’ve never heard like this – rearranged and reinterpreted.”
