In a candid recent livestream, Julez Smith Jr., the son of renowned artist Solange, addressed the ongoing speculation surrounding his sexuality. Growing up in the public eye undoubtedly comes with its own set of advantages, but Julez revealed that it also brings significant challenges, particularly regarding misconceptions about his identity.
During the livestream, Julez reflected on the harsh reactions he faced as a teenager, especially after his mother shared a childhood photo of him. “Grown adults were calling me gay at 13,” he recounted, expressing his frustration with the labels placed upon him. Julez explained that as he began modeling, the narrative shifted from admiration to assumptions about his sexuality, stating, “They were saying I’m pretty, I’m a pretty boy. […] I started modeling, and I went from bashing women to automatically now I’m gay.”
The conversation took a deeper turn as Julez shared details about his romantic life. He reminisced about a significant relationship he had during high school, which lasted from the ages of 17 to 19, and included a memorable trip to Europe with his partner.
While dealing with rumors can be exhausting, Julez has managed to carve out a unique path for himself. In a previous interview with Teen Vogue, he expressed his disinterest in pursuing a music career like his mother or his famous aunt, Beyoncé. “I messed around with production, making beats and stuff,” he noted, emphasizing his passion for executive producing instead of performing. He even humorously recounted the moment a video of him rapping went viral, remarking, “But nah, I’m not good at rapping. It’s not my thing.”
As Julez navigates the complexities of fame and personal identity, his openness about these challenges highlights the pressures faced by young celebrities today.
