Alicia Keys chose an unfortunate time to tell fans about her interest in paragliding.
The Grammy-winning singer, who lives in an area of California where paragliding is a popular sport, took to Instagram to talk about her interest in taking up this new hobby.
“What would you do if you weren’t afraid of anything??? Tell me your truth… I’ve had my eyes on paragliding… 👀👀,” she said in the original post, which has since been deleted.
Unfortunately, the timing was not opportune due to the conflict between Israel and Gaza, in which terrorists paraglided into an Israeli music festival and murdered many innocent people.
Now, Alicia is apologizing after her Instagram post received a lot of backlash.

Alicia later wrote on Instagram Stories: “The post I shared was COMPLETELY NOT related to the recent devastating loss of innocent lives. My heart has been breaking…. I pray and defend peace.”
Music manager Guy Oseary took to his page to defend Alicia.
“There is talk of an anti-Semitic publication that my dear friend Alicia Keys uploaded to her Instagram. I can confirm to anyone in my ✡️ community who needs to hear it: It is NOT true. There was a specific word in your post that our community in this very painful time finds very triggering, but it was not at all connected in any way,” Guy said. “I spoke to Alicia and she was horrified to find out what the word implied and she immediately wrote it down. Alicia has always been a fighter for all human rights. I have had a front row seat for over a decade seeing her positive influence on the world. “Her humanitarian work reflects her empathy and her heart.”
One of Fifth Harmony’s stars recently criticized celebrities for their response to the tragic conflict.
