Alicia Keys Reveals Swizz Beatz Has Her Face Tattooed On His Body & Jay-Z Didn’t Like Her Son Kissing Blue Ivy

Mama, musician and maven Alicia keys dropped by the Wendy Williams Show to not only talk about her upcoming “Girl on Fire” tour with Miguel, but to chat all things domestic. She dished on her decision to chop off her hair and revealed that she first met her hubby Swizz Beatz when she was just 16 years old.  

She also admitted that he was a little too flashy for her taste at first but over time she became attracted to the way he thinks and his knowledge of art.

During the interview Alicia also revealed an interesting tidbit about the best gift she’s ever received from Swizz Beatz:

This might sound strange but I think the favorite gift he ever got me [was] he got a tattoo of me on his arm. Of my face. He hid it. It’s so beautiful. He mixed it with some of his favorite artists…It’s so pretty.

And she also chatted about her son Egypt kissing Beyonce’s daughter, Blue Ivy:

 I think Egypt kissed Blue and I don’t think Jay liked it very much. He told my husband, “Um, watch your son.”

Peep more highlights from the interview below:

On How She and Swizz First Met as Teenagers & How She Later Fell in Love With Him
It was totally different because we met when I was 16 and he was 17. A friend of ours that went to his high school was like, “Oh you gotta meet Swizz, and Alicia’s about to blow up and Swizz is doing his thing and maybe one day you’ll work together.” And that was how we met.[...]I think that what it was, what happened with us, it was so crazy. We’ve known each other so long, been friends for so long and been in the same industry for so long, but never thought it was like that. He’s actually kind of a little too ostentacious for my taste. He will wear not one but 16 chains, and he [won't drive] a regular car, it’s the most craziest car. I think what happened was, he really got me when I saw how far his mind went. He’s really, really intelligent and knows so many interesting things.[...]He knew all this stuff I had no idea about.

I think that he loves to live life and he really showed me how to live life in a beautiful way.

On Whether or Not She Wants More Kids
I definitely want more kids. I would like to wait at least two years. I’m going on tour, I’m very excited. The first date is March 7 with Miguel. Love Miguel. I do actually want more children and sometimes I think it does feel like, “Oh man, what if I could just spend every waking minute with Egypt.” Of course I would love to. I have slowed down in that way. [I've] learned to really cherish those small moments and not rush so much everywhere.

Favorite Thing to Do With Swizz When They’re Alone (Can’t Say Sex)
I don’t want it to be anything else!

Current Favorite Pop Star
I get confused with all these titles. I don’t even know what it means half the time. So who I like, my favorite, I really like Kendrick Lamar and I really like Frank Ocean.

Favorite Celebrity Encounter
I met Sade. I’m a really big fan of Sade. She is my big sister in my mind. We talked, she actually performed at one of my black balls for my organization Keep a Child Alive, but before she did that we got a chance to meet. I left out of the room and you know when you’re so excited. I went out of the room and I was with one of my best girlfriends and we got around the corner and we started jumping. Someone came around the corner and we were like [straightens up]. It ended up being her road manager and she totally caught us going nuts over Sade. It’s a little embarrassing but I love her.
