Swizz Beatz went all out for his wife Alicia Keys' birthday, surprising her with a luxurious gift that took two months to deliver. The producer took to Instagram to share a photo of the Grammy winner sitting in the backseat of a limited edition electric Mercedes-Maybach designed by the late Virgil Abloh. The car was a gift from their sons Egypt, 12, and Genesis, 8, and Swizz gave them credit in his post.
In the video shared by Keys on her Instagram, her two kids pulled back the black cover to reveal the beautiful ride, with Swizz capturing the family's reaction. Referring to the rare car of which only 150 were made, he said, "First female with the za za za, you heard?"
The Project MAYBACH is a "one-of-a-kind electric show car" that boasts "an unmatched level of craftsmanship and attention to detail," according to the official Mercedes-Benz website. Before his passing in November 2021, Abloh spoke on the inspiration behind the vehicle's design. "The premise is to use two words to drive you to a new action," he said at the time. "So utility and luxury are usually not used in the same sentence, and the car we're developing can function as such."
Lil Baby and Drake have also been seen in the limited-edition ride. Keys captioned the video of her new car, "Maybach Sundays ? I finally got to see my bday gift from the kids and my hubby. RIP @virgilabloh this one is a masterpiece woooowwww."
