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.

Jay-Z and Blue Ivy - Before she was even born, Blue Ivy Carter was more highly anticipated than one of her father's albums. Wasting no time, Hov helped jumpstart his first born child's music career with a guest appearance at the end of his single "Glory," which featured the newest member of the Carter family crying before she was even 10-minutes old.(Photo: DLM Press/PacificCoastNews.com)

Nas and Destiny - While she made a rare cameo in her father's video for the song "Daughters," the 17-year-old's name has been popping up in the Queensbridge MC's songs ever since his debut album, Illmatic, back in 1994. Nas is hardly the first music star to express his love for his daughter, and the Queensbridge MC has inspired us to take a look at some of music’s most famous daughters, some that have even followed in the footsteps of their dads.(Photos: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images; Courtesy Twitter)

Rev Run and Angela and Vanessa Simmons - When "Run's House" debuted on MTV back in 2005, Joey Simmons aka "Rev Run" went from being known as one of the pre-eminent pioneers of hip hop to the lovable father who never loses his sense of humor. Run's daughters, Angela and Vanessa, became celebrities in their own right from the show, but that did not stop them from following their own aspirations. The sister act launched their own line of footwear called Pastry 2007 and has since turned the brand into a household name.(Photo: Johnny Nunez/Getty Images)

Lil Wayne and Reginae - Before Blue Ivy, Lil Wayne's daughter, Reginae, was hip hop’s most famous daughter. She may not be old enough to drive, but that's not stopping Reginae from stuntin' like her daddy. Lil Wayne’s daughter from his ex-wife, reality show star Toya, is looking to carry the Carter legacy (no, Jay-Z fans, the other Carter) into future generations as she dabbles in music and television.(Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

Will Smith and Willow Smith - This father-daughter duo made their acting debut together in the 2007 megahit I Am Legend, when Willow was only 7. The youngest member of the Smith dynasty, Willow burst onto the music scene with her ubiquitous hit “Whip My Hair,” which was nominated for Video of the Year at the 2011 BET Awards. Young Willow, who is signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label, is set to take on the role of “Orphan Annie” in the musical Annie.

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)

Donny Hathaway and Lalah - If Donny Hathaway were alive he would be proud of his daughter, Lalah, who is referred to by many as "the first daughter of soul." The 43-year-old songstress has kept the family legacy alive, releasing award-winning soul albums since the 1990s.(Photo: Gilles Petard/Redferns; Bennett Raglin/Getty Images)

T.I. and Zonnique - Although technically she is his stepdaughter, his swag has clearly rubbed off on the young girl. Zonnique makes up one-third of the colorful pop group OMG Girlz. Like the “Rubber Band Man,” this teenager with the color-changing hair is not averse to flash. At her recent sweet 16, which was fit for a princess, the newly minted driver was given a Porsche to start her off on the road. Although having T.I. and Tiny as parents is pretty awesome in its own right, this young pop princess hopes to pave her own path to success.(Photos: John Ricard/BET)

And, who knows, maybe next Father’s Day they will release a father-daughter album. (Photo: Johnny Nunez/WireImage/Getty Images)

Ludacris and Karma - The saying goes that teaching a person to fish is better than simply catching the fish for them. Rapper-actor Ludacris has taken this proverb a step further. Not only has he taught his 10-year-old daughter, Karma, how to create a website, but together they have created a website that allows children and parents to learn together. Karmasworld.com strategically blends education and entertainment, allowing children to have fun while learning subjects like math and geography and even teaches them practical applications like proper etiquette and self-esteem. Armed with a prodigious entrepreneurial acumen and a luminous smile, this little lady and her charismatic father should take pride in knowing that they are helping fathers bond with their daughters everywhere.(Photo: Alberto E.

Quincy Jones and Kadida and Rashida - Sisters Kadida and Rashida Jones grew up in a house with virtuoso composer and producer Quincy Jones, but that didn’t stop either of them from becoming masters of the performing arts in their own rights. Kadida, who was famously engaged to Tupac Shakur, made a name for herself as a stylist, model and actress. Younger sister Rashida Jones has had her own successful career on the big screen, starring in the hit film The Social Network and the popular television show Boston Public.(Photo: REUTERS/Fred Prouser)
