Swizz Beatz's Eldest Son Prince Nasir Wore Skeleton Face Paint to the Grammys & Viewers Reacted

Swizz Beatz's son caught the attention of Grammy viewers when he showed up wearing skeleton face paint. He was seated next to his family and fans questioned who he was.

While Swizz Beatz’s wife, Alicia Keys proudly held her own as the host of this year’s Grammy Awards, his son caused confusion when he showed up to the ceremony wearing skeleton face paint.

Beatz’s son, Prince Nasir Dean who goes by the stage name, Note Mercato raised questions due to his Halloween look. Viewers wondered what his deal was and more so why Alicia didn’t bother to mention him when she made her audience intros. He obviously stood out from the crowd.

CURIOUS TWEETS

Fans first wondered who the skeleton guy was seated among Beatz and the rest of his children. Twitter was abuzz with questions.

“Who is this guy w the skeleton mask on the grammys,” asked one curious viewer.

“If you don’t see it, someone at the Grammys is in the audience with a skeleton face paint,” read another tweet. “I have many questions.”

“Did Alicia really make audience intros and not ask Halloween skeleton mask guy what his name was? I mean... I'd like to know,” asked a third commenter.

MORE THAN JUST A SPOOKY FACE

But those who are familiar with Beatz’s son and follow him on his Instagram would know that this isn’t the first time Prince sported skeleton face. In fact, it is his signature look.

Prince is also a model who received a shoutout from his father earlier this month.

On his Instagram stories, he shared a photo of him putting on the makeup before the Grammys. Moreover, it seems it’s become an obsession since three of his four posts on his feeds show him sporting the spooky look.
