The 17-year-old musician twinned with her father on the red carpet. While Jamie opted for an all-black suit emblazoned in the sheen of Gucci monograms, his daughter went with a black and white classic tuxedo, giving it a twist with a cinched-in blazer, and an oversized white button down with wide-legged slacks.
The soon-to-be dad-of-three proudly stepped aside on the carpet as well to allow for his daughter to shine, which he then got to do during the actual show too.

Fans react to Kehlani, Jamie and Anelise's "stunning" rendition
The moment quickly was named one of the highlights from the BET Awards, a ceremony that also boasted hilarious cameos from Keke Palmer, show-stopping performances from Cardi B, RAYE, and much more.
Fans were obsessed with the performance too, from Anelise's cameo to Kehlani's drop-dead gorgeous vocals. "Isn't that his daughter on the guitar? Why are we not talking about that!" one on social media said in response to seeing Anelise take the stage. Another similarly added: "We got an episode of the Jamie Foxx show lowkey."

Vocals insane," to: "We need this version on iTunes now," plus: "She can sing this 1,000 ways and I'd love every one."

Jamie is also a proud dad to Corinne, 32, who is a model, actress and TV host. In October of 2008, he welcomed his second daughter, Anelise, with Kristin Grannis. He is currently expecting his third child with on-and-off girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp.
Back in 2020, he told Entertainment Tonight of Anelise: "My 11-year-old now knows how to play the piano so well, she actually plays my songs while I sing to them, she said, 'I am going on tour with you.' I am blessed, we are all blessed."
