Kasseem Dean Jr. learned the news of a lifetime during the holiday season after finding out that he was accepted to New York University on his 18th birthday. Helping Kasseem Dean Jr. celebrate the achievement was his dad Swizz Beatz, mom Mashonda, and stepmother Alicia Keys.
Swizz Beatz got deep into his proud papa bag and shared a series of videos on Instagram with his entire family surprising Kasseem Dean Jr. with the big news. With the family all donning NYU hoodies, Dean is seen in the video below walking in to the surprise and definitely enjoyed the moment as any other person would.
“This is what we all do it for in real life. Today we celebrate the 18th Bday of Kasseem JR. We also celebrated him going to NYU.
