Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz took time out while in South Africa for the World Cup to have their baby blessed.
"Wearing tribal beads, Alicia and her baby were given Zulu names while standing under a fig tree known as the ‘healing tree’ by locals who believe it brings good fortune and health.
The star, 29, had the ritual performed by female elders on Wednesday after arriving in South Africa the previous week to headline the World Cup Kick-Off Concert in Johannesburg.
The R&B diva was given a blue robe to cover her shoulders, while Swizz, 31, donned a red sarong and leopard print sash.
Alicia was chosen to receive the blessing in return for her work with local children’s charity Bobbi Bear, whose workers are paid by the singer”
