Rapper/producer Swizz Beatz and son Egypt Dean rocked it out with mom Alicia Keys at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards yesterday(September 6, 2012):

Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz made the MTV Video Music Awards a family affair, bringing their son, Egypt — who will be 2 in October — to the Staples Center for the show. While it sure made for some cute photos — Egypt on the stage! Egypt hugging Mommy after her performance! — some viewers were surprised to see the little guy there since the VMAs aren’t exactly a family-friendly affair.

During Thursday night’s show, Keys and Beatz had Egypt, who was sucking a pacifier, plopped on their laps while Pink performed her new song “Blow Me (One Last Kiss).” (source)
