On the "Jennifer Hudson Show," Swizz Beatz recently discussed parenting. His amazing son Egypt joined him and discussed his future professional goals.
Swizz was asked what motivated his blended family, to which he replied:
Not an easy process in the beginning, but, you know, we live and we learn.
And what we learn is that the kids didn’t ask to be here… Right, you know, sometimes we gotta take ourself out of it and make it about the union of the kids and the community.
Because that’s what’s going to pass on the legacy, you know.
We can be stuck on our own personal things, um, for a long time, but when we grow up, and we say you know what… When you ask a person a question, ‘Why do you do this for?’
Naturally, people are gonna say, ‘I do it for my kids.’
And so we just choice to buckle down and really do it for the kids
And, um, we have an amazing blended family, and, um, all my kids is happy, and we’re happy as well.
So that’s a blessing.
Jennifer continued by mentioning how her kid and Swizz's son Egypt used to hang out in the studio together when they were small. Today, Egypt has created a song for Kendrick Lamar and performed piano in concert with his mother, Alicia Keys.When they first met at the Super Bowl, Swizz assumed Egypt was upsetting Kendrick, but Kendrick revealed that 5-year-old Egypt was aiding him in getting past his writer's block. Swizz claimed that he is still envious of Egypt for the job he did with Kendrick Lamar.
I’m jealous as hell of that one… I thought me and Kendrick was cool.
But they, um, kick it off at the, ah, at the Super Bowl… right here at the Super Bowl game.
And I looked, and him and Kendrick was talking for, like, 40 minutes.
And I went over and said to Kendrick, ‘Is he bothering you, should I move him, I know, you know, you enjoying yourself.’
He said, ‘No, Swizz, like, I had writer’s block, and what Egypt is telling me is helping me deal with something.’
Um, and I was like, ‘Well, man, he’s five-years-old, like…’
Still to this day, I don’t know what he was helping him deal with, but I let it happen.
Egypt who is now 12 years old joined the interview and revealed that he loves music, but he aspires to be a basketball player.
