Beyonce’s nephew Daniel’Julez’ Smith Jn., set rumours flying over the weekend about a potential new age-gap romance.
Smith, 21,son of Beyonce’s sister Solange set off the speculation when he and the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta veteran Tommie Lee — who, at 41, is two decades his senior — were seen getting cozy in videos she posted to her Snapchat in the early morning hours of Monday.
In one video, Lee (born Atasha Chizaah Jefferson) laughed uproariously while clinging onto Smith as he gave her a piggyback ride.
Type of s*** you do when you like somebody,’ Smith said with mock weariness as he carried Lee.
She seemingly returned the affection by replying after a delay, ‘My baby. So fine.’
Smith kept up the comically tired routine as he added that it’s ‘hard to be fine’ while he’s stuck carrying someone.
‘Still fine!’ Lee chuckled while wrapping her arms around his torso tightly.
Later in the evening, Lee regained the ability to walk on her own, but she still kept her arm around Smith as they walked together.
She couldn’t hold back her giggles as she raved about their ‘crazy night’ together, which appeared to include a stop at a club.
Earlier in the evening, Lee shared a video of her dinner, which included a show with a female contortionist.
In one of the videos, Smith could be heard jokingly asking, ‘You can do that?’
She captioned the video ‘Sure can and better’ with laughing emojis in response.
Lee also shared several videos from the evening that didn’t appear to feature Smith.
Smith, who was born in October 2024, is the son of Solange Knowles, 39, and her ex-husband Daniel Smith, whom she was married to from 2004 until their 2007 divorce.
The in-demand model recently gave his fans a glimpse behind the scenes of his life in an attempt to clear up the public image of his upbringing.
In response to a question about the most difficult part of being the child of a famous parent, he said he was beset by ‘misconceptions,’ according to People.
He said that people who knew nothing about him nevertheless felt qualified to opine on his life, going back to the start.
‘Look — the first time I ever heard of myself in the media was I was in seventh grade, and my mom posted this picture of me,’ he began explaining. ‘I was dressed as LL Cool J. I had, like, this red jumpsuit. I was 13 at the time. Mind you, I had a girlfriend at the time. I went to school, and my girlfriend showed me a picture that my mom posted.
He said that ‘grown-a** adults’ were calling him ‘gay’ online despite him only being 13 years old at the time.
Lee has stood out not just for her time on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, but also for her numerous run-ins with the law.
She has previously spoken about going into labor while she was in jail, though she was able to be taken to a hospital before she gave birth to one of her daughters.
Lee — who has struggled with addiction over the years — is the mother of six children, though she currently only has custody of two daughters, Havalli and Samaria.
