Alicia Keys turned the nation's 250th birthday into a flashpoint over women's constitutional rights on Saturday — and MAGA world erupted.

The singer marked July 4th with an Instagram video highlighting that women still "don't have an explicit guarantee to equal rights under the U.S. Constitution."

"Can you believe that? I couldn't even believe that was real. I mean, women are not asking for special rights, just equal rights," she said, later adding: "If it's the 250th celebration of the country, isn't it time to update some things?"

Keys urged her followers to look into the People's Bill of Rights 250, a grassroots civic project inviting Americans to envision new constitutional protections.

The right was not happy, The Daily Beast reported.

Former ESPN anchor Sage Steele fired back on X: "Hey @aliciakeys … please name one right men have that women don't… I'll wait…"

MAGA conservative Mike Engleman laughed on X, writing: "LOL, Alicia Keys spends July 4th claiming that women in America don’t have equal rights."

On X, conservative commentator Libby Emmons echoed the challenge with a nearly identical taunt, writing that she bet Keys "could not name a single right we women don't have."

MAGA pastor Jordan Wells accused the singer of "manufacturing division for clout."

"Sorry Alicia, but women in America already have equal rights — and then some," Wells wrote. "We're celebrating 250 years of freedom, not rewriting history to fit the victimhood script."
