Swizz Beatz is celebrating a major milestone for his daughter Nicole.
The producer shared a sweet birthday tribute on Instagram on Thursday as Nicole officially turned 18.
“Wow, 18 years of greatness and pure bliss, my Twin,” he wrote alongside photos of the two together. “Daddy is soooooooo proud of the young lady you’ve grown up to be.”
He continued, “Today the world was given a gift, and that gift is you. I’ve never met a human so graceful and pure-hearted as you.”
Swizz also celebrated Nicole’s academic accomplishments, revealing that she was accepted into all five colleges she applied to.
“Congrats on working hard and getting accepted into all 5 colleges you applied for,” he added. “Love you with all my heart. Keep going strong, my love, no matter what.”
Nicole later celebrated her birthday at DJ Black Coffee’s concert at London’s O2 Arena. Photos posted online showed the 18-year-old backstage with her father and siblings during the event.
Swizz later gave Black Coffee a shoutout for helping make the night memorable.
“Shout @realblackcoffee for making the night magical as always,” he wrote. “Shutting down the O2 King you are family 4 Life!!!”
He also shared another message of encouragement for his daughter.
“Always remember to shine in your light my love,” he added.
Nicole’s mother, singer Jahna Sebastian, also shared a birthday message for her daughter on social media.
“Happy Birthday my daughter Nicole,” she wrote.
Nicole is Swizz Beatz’s daughter with Sebastian and one of five children in the music producer’s blended family with wife Alicia Keys.
Swizz, whose real name is Kasseem Dean, and Alicia Keys married in 2010 and share two sons together, Egypt and Genesis. He is also father to Prince Nasir and Kasseem Jr. from previous relationships.
Over the years, the family has often shared moments together online and at public events. Nicole has also accompanied her father to several industry events, including fashion launches and art-related appearances.
She has mostly stayed out of the spotlight compared to some of her famous family members, but Swizz has occasionally shared proud dad moments featuring his daughter through the years.
