Alicia Keys and Swizz “Kasseem Dean” Beatz have welcomed their baby – and it’s a boy! Swizz confirmed on Friday that the baby boy came on Thursday night. They named him… Egypt. Just like Bossip’s sources were saying weeks ago. The baby’s full name is Egypt Daoud Dean… I think Daoud is pronounced “Dowd” only you draw out the syllable more, maybe? Unknown: whether Alicia and Swizz have actually been to Egypt. Also unknown: what Egypt’s nickname will be. Egie? ‘Gypt? Gypt Dean sounds vaguely offensive.
Alicia Keys and husband Swizz Beatz have welcomed their first child together, a baby boy named Egypt Daoud Dean, her rep confirmed to UsMagazine.com. The singer gave birth in NYC on Thursday night, the rep added.
On Friday, Beatz (real name: Kasseem Dean) Tweeted: “I’m so thankful for everything I been blessed with in my life wowwwwww!” It’s the first child for Keys, 29; Beatz, 32, has three children from previous relationships.
The couple’s good pal Mary J. Blige offered her congrats via Twitter Friday, writing “I’m So excited 2 Congratulate my brother @ therealswizzz and @Alicia keys on their New, baby, boy!!!!!!!”
Keys, 29, and Beatz, 32, tied the knot in a private ceremony in July on the Mediterranean Sea. The two – who have been together since fall 2008 — announced their engagement and baby news to Us in May.
“She’s always glowing!” Beatz recently gushed to Us about Keys.
He added that her pregnancy has been nothing but “smooth sailing” so far. “I’m feeling amazing!”
Keys told Us she was eager to greet her little one. “The baby is going to see everything that I do, and that we do,” she told Us.

Am I so much of a bitch that I’m going to criticize Alicia and Swizz just after they welcome their baby? No, no, I’m not. I will merely state that ‘Gypt is Alicia’s first child, and he is Swizz’s fourth… that we know of. Congratulations to the happy family!

Welcome back CB!
Keys told Us she was eager to greet her little one. “The baby is going to see everything that I do, and that we do,” she told Us.

Damn, I hope the kid doesn’t see EVERYTHING. Really.
Thanks, Monie! CB was really stressed out about the situation. I’m so glad we’re back!
I missed you guys yesterday 🙁
I missed you guys yesterday,was close to breaking out in a cold sweat.Congrats to the couple.
congrats to the happy parents and his older siblings. I like the name Egypt though it’s more common for girls but names that were once for boys are now more commonly used for girls Ashley and Kelly for example. most famously Ashley was the name of one of Scarlett O’hara’s suiters in Margaret Mitchell’s classic novel/film Gone With The Wind
@ Kaiser-We were stressed out too, and it isn’t even our responsibility! Gossip Addicts Anonymous, here I come.
Seriously, I feel for Alicia-Swizz looks so displeased in every picture. He is either just one of those serious, stoic individuals who never smiles…or he’s not so thrilled @ this wedding and/or child.
I feel for the children over whose births he’s been much less enthusiastic. Like the daughter he refused to acknowledge for quite some time…
Ah, well. I do hope this little boy has a great life and gets plenty of love… I’m sure he will.
He reminds me of Snoopy.
Considering he is Muslim, the name makes sense. Daoud is pronounced Dah – ood, its David in Arabic.
Well i think Alicia will make a great mum…
BTW how random that 2 of my favourite blogs had server issues within days of each other it was like i was going cold turkey lmao
I hear you Brittney.
I wish their kid the best. Still I can’t help but shake my head at this:
I will merely state that ‘Gypt is Alicia’s first child, and he is Swizz’s fourth… that we know of.
Daoud = David in arabic my baby brothers name
Kaiser you’re hilarious!! Those nicknames cracked me up. Just a little fyi: it’s actually pronounced in Arabic as “dawoud”.
Unless those idiots are purposely mispronouncing/misspelling it. Won’t be the first dumb thing they’ve done (hello headpiece jewellery,wtf!)
“The baby is going to see everything that I do, and that we do,” she told Us.
I’m sorry that just made me laugh. I’m now imagining the baby going with Daddy to pick out new baby momma’s.
Why does SB always look distressed in pics with his wife?
You pronounce it – Dah-ood – two syllables.
please that’s nothing new in hollywood look at Paul Newman for example would’ve had 5 children by the age of 34 by two marriages all under the age of 10. though his second wifes first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage on their honeymoon. by the way Alicia and Swizz’s marriage isn’t legal in the US unless they repeat it as it was in a foreign country
he’s muslim? but he drinks alcohol…
i don’t like the name. i think it’s tacky to name kids after locations.
Courtnay: Are you serious that the marriage is illegal/non-valid in the States? Does that mean everyone who gets married in Bermuda or Mexico or Canada has an unrecognized marriage in the States? I really didn’t know that. So what, J.P.’s make a fortune doing quickie ceremonies when the parties get back to the States? Appreciate any info just curious,thanks.
Best of luck to that baby… he’s going to need it with these two geniuses as parents.
I think they should call him Baby Beatz. Until he gets a little older and then they can call him Teen Beatz.
Yeah, too much caffeine.
You probably don’t want to put the words ‘baby’ and ‘beats’ together in a sentence, as people’s mind (evil ones like mine, I guess) wander. I like ‘Teen Beatz’, though.
I feel soooo sorry for the baby. What an unfortunate name seriously !
Well thats a stupid name. But what do you expexct when there are stupid, pretentious parents involved.
MJ FOR HGF!
4 babies, 4 baby mommies that we know of, lord, good wishes for the new born, he’s gonna need it.
@ lady D/Courtnay how do we know they didn’t go to city hall and get married before the judge and then go oversees and had the wedding?….
I want to wage a vote! NO MJ FOR HGF!!
Kaiser isn’t interested, I am not intersted, who else?
Anyway, I dislike the name but congrats to the fam. Just one thing, I sure hope the child doesnt see everything that Alicia see’s, b/c, he would learn how to break up a marriage and turn a blind eye to a bunch of other children.
The end.
“Are you serious that the marriage is illegal/non-valid in the States? Does that mean everyone who gets married in Bermuda or Mexico or Canada has an unrecognized marriage in the States? I really didn’t know that.”
******************
It’s not true. There are a shitload of countries where the marriage is valid provided your marriage would have also been valid in the state you reside in. The marriage also has to be registered, but “marriages registered overseas are recognised for all legal purposes in in your home country, provided they take place legally in a country whose marriage law is recognised by your home country.” If you ONLY have a religious ceremony overseas, then that is not recognized.
Wonder if he’s cheating on her already.
Hope the poor kid didn’t inherit his nose.
Good luck, that baby will need it.
Just like Britney Spears and K-Fed, bet Swizz Beatz pay more attention to this baby since this baby mama has more money. Since he has a truck load of money problems. The amount he owed IRS is nothing to sneeze at.
That pic of them at the dinner table kinda says it all. He looks miserable and she looks oily. She did not know how to dress for pregnancy.
“Am I so much of a bitch that I’m going to criticize Alicia and Swizz just after they welcome their baby? No, no, I’m not.”
I am. That name is fugly with a capital fug!
Oh you know he has already cheated on her.
I’ve hated her ever since I heard about this homewrecking shiz. I can’t believe it hasn’t gotten more press. Most of my friends had never even heard of what went down. It’s just “oh, alicia keys is pregnant? aw, that’s so cute! good for her!” yadda yadda.
I wish the media would put people like her in her place instead of sucking up for god knows why??
Ah well, at least they didn’t call him Equatorial Guinea. That would’ve been a real mouth full.
That’s great, now he can move on to the next baby-mama
Seems like she has been pregnant for like….5 min, doesn’t it?
Egypt? And I once thought that “Seven” or “Soda” of George Constanza were funny names.
Whatever. Hope that boy and his mother are well.
One of my best friends has a daughter named Egypt. I think it’s a lovely name. Never heard it for a boy, though.
“Just like Britney Spears and K-Fed, bet Swizz Beatz pay more attention to this baby since this baby mama has more money.”
agreed. and just like Brit and KFed, I predict this marriage will end when Keys gets fed up with his shenanigans and she informs him of the divorce via text message.
What a terrible name did they name their child for they own selfish reasons or for the good will of the child who have to live his own life. What a God awful stupid name. Stupid ass couple.
I wonder if they have some connection to Egypt, like was that the site of their honeymoon or is he Egyptian? Or were they talking one night and agreed that pyramids are cool, so let’s go with Egypt as a name?
I’m sure someone else had a kid called Egypt. Someone in Salt n Pepa I think.
Hope the kid hasn’t got his nose.
Well, at least now she has someone to keep her company when “Swizz” inevitably moves on to the next chick. Which should happen any day now.
Only egypts I know are girls. Doud makes sense. If they wanted to stick with Arabic and Egypt they should have named the kid Masir. Masir is Arabic for Egypt and Egyptians refer to it as Masir
We’ll see how long their happiness lasts. Maybe, like Miley & family, Egypt will be able to change his name. Maybe to Pakistan or Mexico or Canada or…
He won’t cheat on her unless it’s with Beyonce, which won’t happen because Alicia and Beyonce are friends. He’s a social climber; she’s at the top. He’s done.
HUH???????? WTF????????? really?? SMH!! Poor little guy!
hey good look to have a babby boy
Congratulations to Alicia and husband on birth of what must be a beautiful baby. Hope he is healthy, and sure she is over the moon happy! I truly hope she has a long and happy marriage. I think the baby’s name is great. Personally dont think it should have been published, I think this news is private. Im sure she named the baby to honor the continent of Africa, the heart of the earth. Also, Daud is a favorite of mine since my son’s name is David Cheo (much grief from idiots about Cheo). We chose the name for its meaning, like I am sure they did.
Also, DO NOT think the media should do more reporting on the man’s previous marriage. I would much rather they focus on all the cheating billionaires in the insurance industry!
Much love and prayers to one of my favs, Alicia Keys!
@Jasmine: I know men named Cheo or called Cheo. I have fond memories of the name, its a nickname for Jose. My younger son’s middle name is Che.
“Also, DO NOT think the media should do more reporting on the man’s previous marriage. I would much rather they focus on all the cheating billionaires in the insurance industry!” I agree 🙂
