Alicia Keys Goes On Rant After Toddler Son Says 'People Won't Like' His Rainbow Manicure

"He's in the chair and he's like, 'I want rainbow.' So he tells the lady that he wants rainbow colors on his nails," Alicia recounts. "And after she painted his nails, he looked at me and he said, 'Mommy, I don't want this on my nails.'"

"And he was like, 'People are not gonna like it.' Can you believe this? Four years old. He's 4! And he already understands the concept that someone is gonna judge him because he chose rainbow colors on his nails."

Alicia then expressed her frustration with the idea that certain activities are gendered and judged accordingly.

"The way I see it, there is masculine and there is feminine energies inside of us all, period," she said.

"Even for me, myself, I oftentimes express the masculine energy that's inside of me," Alicia said. "And, all the time, if that happens, there are the judgments, and there's the stereotypes, and there are all the energies that come toward that."

"It's really frustrating to me. I'm actually really, really frustrated about it. I ask myself, 'Why is that? Why can't we just express the different energies that are inside us?'"

It's so awesome that Genesis has a mom like Alicia to back him up!
