In a revealing first radio interview, Juelz Smith, the 14-year-old son of Solange Knowles, opened up about his life as a member of one of the most famous families in the world. The young artist, who is also Beyoncé’s nephew, showcased a blend of confidence and charm during the conversation, shedding light on both his family dynamics and his aspirations.
Juelz shared that his favorite song from Beyoncé’s iconic album “Lemonade” is “Hold Up,” while he holds a special affection for Solange’s track “A Seat at the Table.” Interestingly, he mentioned that he often collaborates with his mother on songwriting, revealing a budding talent in music. He expressed admiration for his aunt, saying he rarely stops to think about the significance of having Beyoncé as family.
Living in Los Angeles with his father and attending public school, Juelz described Solange’s parenting style as friendly rather than strict, reflecting a close-knit relationship. He humorously recounted how his cousin Blue Ivy can sometimes be a handful, teasing him regularly.
In a candid moment, Juelz addressed his experiences with celebrities, labeling some interactions as “weird.” He recalled a less-than-friendly first encounter with rapper Quavo, while also sharing a playful crush on Megan Thee Stallion and noting the attractiveness of Normani. His musical preferences lean toward Beyoncé’s rendition of “Wake Up,” distinguishing it from Ariana Grande’s version.
Ambitiously, Juelz aspires to play basketball for the UCLA Bruins and dreams of joining the NBA, specifically the Houston Rockets. He also expressed interest in managing artists, inspired by his uncle Jay-Z’s legacy. The young talent’s infectious enthusiasm and grounded perspective hint at a bright future ahead, as he navigates his unique position within the entertainment industry.
