Not many people could upstage
The latest star from the Knowles' clan, Julez was born Daniel Julez Smith Jr. in 2004. He was named after Solange's ex-husband, Daniel Smith, whom the singer married the same year. Julez's first uncredited appearance came courtesy of Destiny's Child when Solange showed off her very pregnant belly in the group's "Soldier" video. He was also the subject of a song on Solange's 2008 album Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams titled "An Ode to Julez."
Julez proved to be a cool customer at the Grammy Awards. First, Jay-Z thanked the crowd for his win before he passed the mic off to Rihanna. The singer offered her quick words and turned to Julez. Rihanna picked up the tiny Knowles as she asked him if he had anything he wanted to say. "No thanks," he said sheepishly, drawing laughter from the audience.
His tight-lipped answer earned him a burst of fame and a tweet from his mom, who passed on the festivities. "Julez is going to enjoy seeing that when he's 13," Solange wrote, followed by a smiley-face.
