“It’s a really big deal. I think it’s another full-circle moment for me because during pregnancy, everything was really scary,” Monét told PEOPLE at the time. “People were telling me how bad of a career move it could be, how detrimental to everything it could be.”
The “On My Mama” singer added, “Pregnancy, it’s going into unknown territory and no one’s story is the same. So, to have one of the more fearful moments career-wise turn into one of the best moments ever of my career is really magical. I’m honored to have the accolade for her.”

As a collaborator, Monét joked her daughter is “stubborn.”
“Right now, her favorite word is ‘no,'” she shared. “She stands on what she wants. So, I think she’s going to be a great businesswoman. She’s going to be a really amazing artist. She’s going to have her own vision, definitely very creative, and she’s got a voice on her for sure.”
In February 2023, Monét told PEOPLE Hazel quickly became interested in music.
Upon announcing her pregnancy in December 2020, Monét said the experience was “absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to me.”
