Thus, it was no surprise that Genesis stood guard by Keys' piano to protect her and ensure nothing surprising came her way as she performed over the weekend. Highlighting the sweet moment, Beatz — real name Kasseem Daoud Dean — uploaded multiple snaps that showed the eight-year-old in a varsity jacket, baggy shorts, and Crocs, ready to jump into action, on Instagram.
