Birth Name:
Alicia J. Augello-Cook
Birth Place:
Harlem, New York City, USA
Ethnicity:
Irish, Scottish, Italian and African American.
The American singer is multiracial. Her mother, Terri Auguello is of Irish, Scottish and Italian ancestry, and her father, Craig Cook is African American.
Keys stated that as she grew up in New York she never had to experience feeling “not Black enough” or “not White enough”. However she became comfortable with her biracial heritage as it allows her to relate to different cultures.
A lot of people believe I’m part Jamaican, though I’m not. I’m definitely black and Italian and a little Irish or Scottish.

Black men get around & sleep with ALL kinds of women , white,black,Asian,Hispanic,middle eastern. That’s why to this day especially now in the 21st century where interrcial couples arent frowned upon there all so many people that are of mixed race. A Majority are half black !

This girl really disappoint me… she’s beautiful… and she married and have a baby with somebody a thousand ways of thousand miles to be physically beautiful …
I know that the beauty is alot found in the character …but jesus…it’s not only this… i don’t ask her to marry a model…but at least somebody better than this bad scenario…
Hopefully not all girls make that choice… ’cause it will be the future very end of z fashion weeks …
