Alicia Keys and her hip-hop artist husband Kasseem David Dean (better known as Swizz Beatz) had a son on October 12, 2010 whom they named Egypt Daoud Ibarr Dean. We get the significance of Egypt for the young pop-star. After a near mental breakdown in late 2006, Alicia embarked on a solo “self-discovery” trip to Egypt for three weeks. The experience “freed” her and she’s described it as “the best choice that I’ve ever made.” So Egypt has a meaningful place in Key’s life – and now it has more! We’re not sure where Daoud Ibarr comes from (perhaps David and Abraham in some other Eastern-based language)? Fittingly, Keys also dedicated her song “Speechless” to her baby boy.
