US singer Alicia Key’s unborn child has received a traditional Zulu blessing in South Africa complete with tribal beads and a “healing tree”, the UK’s Daily Mail reported.
The usually glamorous 29-year-old US singer toned it down for the event, wearing a blue sash and a beaded headband and sang traditional Zulu songs while dancing to the beat of a drum.
The singer, who was in South Africa to lead the FIFA World Cup Kick-off Celebration Concert, is currently five months pregnant and attended the ceremony with her music producer fiancé Swizz Beatz.

Keys had organised the ceremony through non-governmental organisation Bobbi Bear, a group opposed to child abuse.
