Daddy's Girl: Famous Fathers and Daughters

Proud papas and their number one girls.

Happy B-Day, Mr. Smith! - Will Smith smiles from ear-to-ear while holding his daughter Willow's hand as they leave Barnes & Noble on Will's 43rd birthday. Willow is reportedly preparing to finish her debut album. (Photo: Anthony / PacificCoastNews.com)
Marvin and Nona Gaye - For many offspring of entertainment icons, the pressure to live up to the family name can be overbearing. In the case of Nona Gaye (whose father, Marvin Gaye is widely regarded as the greatest R&B singer of all time) nothing could be further from the truth. In 1992 the singer showed her incipient talent to the world, releasing her first album, Love for the Future, at the age of 18. The 39-year-old has since appeared in several box office hits like Crash, The Matrix Reloaded and XXX: State of the Union.  (Photo: Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images for KCA)

T.I. and Zonnique - Although technically the stepdaughter of the King of the South, there's no missing links here. Zonnique is part of the colorful pop group OMG Girlz and stars with her folks T.I. and Tiny on T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle.(Photos: John Ricard/BET)Master P and Cymphonique - As one of the South's perennial music moguls, Percy Miller was a prime example of the importance of diversifying your brand. It's a lesson his daughter clearly took to heart. At only 15 years of age, Cymphonique Miller, known simply as Cymphonique, has already established herself as a force in the entertainment industry. In addition to starring in the hit show How to Rock on Nickolodeon, the teen star has also released a number of hit singles including "Lil Miss Swaggar," "Daddy I'm a Rockstar" and "Butterflies." In 2011 she was nominated for a BET Award for Best Female Artist. At the rate she's going, there is no doubt that P will have plenty to brag about as his empire continues to grow.(Photo: Larry Busacca/Getty Images)
