HuffPost
The Grammy winner laughed while talking about her nine-year-old backstage before the 2024 Super Bowl Halftime show.
Alicia Keys just explained how her very persistent son convinced her to connect him with Billie Eilish.
In a behind-the-scenes look at her 2024 Super Bowl halftime performance, the Grammy winner told her hair and makeup team about how her “pushy” nine-year-old Genesis Dean had been angling to befriend the “Bad Guy” singer.
After what Keys said was three days of pestering, she agreed to text Eilish a video of her son where introduced himself and said, “Hi, my name is Genesis and I really like your music. And I’m Alicia Keys’ son.”
Laughing at Genesis’ boldness, Keys cackled as she watched the video with her beauty team and showed them her accompanying text to Eilish.
“Someone wanted me to send you this message,” it read. “I hope it makes you smile. How are you, beautiful? Big love!”
