Social media has changed the world entirely. Whether Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, social networking has indulged our voyeuristic tendencies, taking celebrity culture into overdrive. Cell phones have become small, black windows into our favorite rappers' lives, shining a light on moments both intimate and otherwise.

While some—such as Eminem’s daughter Hailie Jade or 50 Cent's son Marquise—aren’t particularly chasing the limelight, others such as Diddy’s sons (King Combs, Justin Combs and Quincy) are using Instagram to carve their own lane and legacy. Nas' daughter, Destiny Jones, shows f her love cosmetics (and her own lipstick brand, Lipmatic) her IG account when she's not posting flicks with her legendary dad. Meanwhile, T.I.'s kids—daughters Deyjah and Heiress, and sons Messiah and Domani—provide a real-life extension the now-discontinued VH1 hit reality TV show, T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle on their accounts.
