Alicia Keys organized a surprise bash to celebrate her husband Swizz Beatz’s birthday, with notable guests Jay-Z and Usher in attendance. The highlight of the event was a significant surprise gift.
TMZ captured the moment when Keys, directed photographers to remain silent as she guided a blindfolded Swizz to what he believed was a private dinner at a concealed restaurant. However, it turned out to be the World on Wheels skating rink in L.A.
Meanwhile, the special gift, a 2019 Aston Martin Vantage valued at $150,000, was being unveiled. Swizz, also known as Kasseem Dean, and was sporting a slight arm injᴜry, which he had concealed under an orange Nike Air hoodie.
Despite the injᴜry, Swizz expressed his enthusiasm for the car, joking, ‘Hurt my arm a bit, but you can wҺip it with one hand.’ Keys shared that the surprise involved a lot of assistance from supportive friends and a few little white lies to throw off her inquisitive husband.
One significant fib was telling Swizz that the car had already been sold, much to his disappointment. The video concludes with Swizz expressing gratitude to everyone present before mentioning his need to visit the hospital for his injᴜry.
Usher also provided glimpses of the event on his Instagram story, showing off his roller skating skills. In one clip, Alicia, Jay-Z, and others are seen singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to Swizz beside a massive cake.
Swizz also discussed a potential collaboration with Usher that promises to bring a fresh energy to listeners, inspiring them to explore new experiences.
This surprise party comes nearly a year after Swizz orchestrated a roller skating-themed bash for Alicia’s birthday at the Tao nightclub in New York City. The event, with a Wu-Tang Clan theme, kicked off Grammy Week.
