Alicia Keys filed paperwork to trademark the name Alicia Teas.

The 15-time Grammy award winning artist’s company, AK Worldwide, filed the rights to the name, according to TMZ. 

The 42-year-old singer appeared to get the idea for her own tea line after her husband Swizz Beatz, 45, gifted her a personalized tea line in 2020 for her birthday.

In a since deleted post on her Instagram in late January 2020, Alicia was gifted personalized tea bags he called ‘Alicia Teas.’

When they both found success in the music industry, the stars consistently attended the same events but Alicia was not interested, per People.

‘We ended up in the same circles at various awards shows and industry events. He’d usually pull up in some fancy car, rolling deep with his Bronx crew and shining with diamonds. I wanted nothing to do with that scene or with Swizz,’ she said in her memoir More Myself.

The duo worked on a music project together in 2008 – which led to Alicia getting to know Swizz as a person.

‘The more we talked the more I noticed how his mind worked. Beyond the baggy jeans and arm tats there was depth. He was so aware of what was happening around the world,’ she wrote.

The couple began dating fall 2008; Two years later, in May 2010 – they announced their engagement and that they were expecting their first child together. 

They wed July 31, 2010 and welcomed their first child together on October 14, 2010: Eqypt Daoud Dean, now aged 12.

Alicia is also the founder of the skin and makeup brand Keys Soulcare; she created the brand alongside dermatologist Dr. Renee Snyder.

Alicia Keys‘ son, Genesis, stood guard onstage to protect her during her concert in Salt Lake City over the weekend.

On Monday, the singer’s husband, Swizz Beatz, shared a series of photos of their youngest son, eight, safeguarding her as she performed in front of a large crowd of concertgoers.

‘He heard how people been acting at shows lately,’ the rapper — whose full name is Kasseem Daoud Dean — had written over the snaps of Genesis.

‘My boy serious in real life,’ he explained his son’s reasoning for standing onstage with the 42-year-old Girl On Fire hitmaker — who recently opened up about her decision to stop wearing makeup in 2016.

Amid the increasing pattern of unruly fans throwing things at artists onstage, Genesis was seen with a serious expression in the photos as he kept his mom out of harm’s way.

In his caption, the Grammy-winning producer — who also shares son Egypt, 12, with Keys — had written: ‘My boy said I’m not playing no games on moms stage.

‘He a real serious one,’ he wrote in between strings of laughing emojis. ‘Thank you Gen we love you and your protection’. 

He also added: ‘He didn’t care she was live on stage’.

Later on his Instagram Story, he shared photos of Genesis as he was starting to fall asleep in his half-brother Prince’s arms.

‘His security job has ended and so did he,’ Beatz wrote over a photo of him passed out after all of his hard work.

Keys is also a stepmother as Beatz is a father to three children from previous relationships.

He shares daughter Nicole, 14, with Jahna Sebastian; son Kasseem Dean Jr., 16, with Mashonda Tifere; and son Prince Nasir, 22, with Nicole Levy.

Over the weekend, Keys — who celebrated her wedding anniversary with her husband on Monday — also shared another instance of her son’s adorably protective nature over her in a funny clip posted to her official Instagram account.

As she was preparing ahead of her concert on Friday, she was seen in a cropped and sheer button-down blouse with heart pasties to cover her modesty.

Genesis could be heard in the video asking her: ‘Are you really going to do this, Mom?’

‘So everybody can see your boobs,’ he said in shock before Keys responded. ‘They can’t. They just see a heart.’ 

Her son then proceeded to give her some choreography suggestions to keep her top from moving during her performance. 

Beatz left a comment on Keys’ clip and wrote alongside a laughing emoji: ‘My guy’.
