The video says Alicia Keys is part Jamaican but she says that she is not:
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."
