Willow Smith: ‘Let me be me’
Don’t you find it ironic when narcissistic celebrities (and their offspring) complain about their lack of privacy when they are the ones who seek constant attention?
No one would be talking about Willow Smith if she wasn’t such a publicity hungry 11-year-old. Willow’s older brother, Trey Smith, lives his life outside of the public eye — so we know that she can do the same.
Willow’s outlandish personal style has, at times, drawn criticism from parents who think Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith should reel her in.
“Grown ups [have] children and they say ‘you can be whatever you want to be.’ And then they go on my Instagram and comment, ‘How can your parents let you go out looking like that?’ Telling me that I can’t do what I want to do. When I’m someone’s child,” Willow whined in a recent interview with MTV.
“You’re telling your kid they can be this but telling me I can’t be that. “The thing is that if I know what’s true in my heart and my soul, then what people say can’t shape that. I can say, ‘I don’t have a fake tongue ring,’ and they’ll be like, ‘aw, she covered it up!’” Willow added.

WILLOW Smith doesn’t get to go to school because of her pop career.
The 10-year-old singer — the daughter of Hollywood heavyweights Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith – admits the amount of time she spends in class has dwindled since she started making music and one subject she is struggling with is maths.
“I never really get to go to school because I am always on tour, or with my father,” she said.
“There is a tutor most of the time, but usually I am working so I never get to do the lessons. The worst thing about maths is all the kids are ahead of me because they go to school.”
Willow — whose debut single Whip My Hair is becoming a global hit — decided she wanted to become a recording artist after her dad Will let her add some vocals to one of his rap songs.
She has also been on tour with her mother Jada’s band Wicked Wisdom and was inspired by her performances.
“I was four years old when I recorded a song with daddy and only said a couple of words, and I thought, ‘This is cool.’ It wasn’t supposed to be in the song but he wrote me something at the last minute.,” she said.
“I would go with my mom on her tour and look at her and love what she did. I thought, ‘Maybe I should do that.’ So I did. I’m going to make songs to inspire people.”
children are off limits!
sike naw.
Sad. I don’t think she ready. With her daddy being Will, she can be a star whenever. It seems she just wants to be a kid. She don’t/can’t take the ridicule of being in the spotlight,.
I think parents should stop downing other parents parental skills! put yourself in their shoes if another parent told you how to treat teach and beat your child you would be all in their face saying this is my child not yours!

**********************
she said it was fake.
Those kids never went to school. I remember Jada saying they all like to travel together or something. I wonder what the oldest boy doing.
I don’t know…Doesn’t sound like Willow is whining to me. And a lot of kids don’t do well in math. Do we know that she is still behind? We don’t? Hrm.
DIMPS
HELLO
I’m glad I have a son b/c I would want my little girl to be girly girl like me, this brings me too the topic @ hand WHY DA HAIL DOES JADA LET WILLOW DRESS LIKE A BOY
I would not have that no ma’am not in my house 
Stop beating my mule!
@ Zoe…I think the oldest one, Trey(?), is in college.
@ TY…That’s bad. I know ppl think she doesn’t need school because her parents are rich but, I personally think school is good for kids for various reasons.
@Brown
With so much drama in the L-B-C
It’s kinda hard bein Snoop D-O-double-G
But I, somehow, some way
Keep comin up with funky ass **** like every single day

Talk a good game mane, come on
Holler ’bout what you gon’ do to me
Quit talkin’ about it, be about it
Let me see, let me see, let me see
I don’t get all the animosity that this child receives. I really don’t. People don’t like her parents and the way she’s being raised and take it out on her.
Willow is is grown for her age but she seems intelligent and well spoken so maybe that is just her personality. If she ends up on drugs or pregnant folks all can say “I told them so” and be happy I guess.
I agree Dimpz it would be nice if she could count her own money if she could pay someone else to do it. Thats why Rhi Rhi’s accountant is making 20% off her tours and she is making 6%
*even*
I adore Willow and the Smith family…I’ve never seen anything wrong…kids express themselves all the time in different ways…sad that the same people being judgmental and giving ‘advice’ should be in the mirror schooling themselves
POOR KID. SHE IS JUST TRYING TO FIND HERSELF
@ YSO….I personally have no bad feelings towards that lil girl or think anything bad about her as a person, I mean she’s a kid but, having said that, I think strongly believe that all kids should have the opportunity to be a kid and have a time to enjoy their innocence, not saying she doesn’t because I don’t know her like that.
I just think life is hard enough as/for adults and children shouldn’t be rushed towards that.
@ Boogie I love your new avi

I LUV THAT MOVIE.. WHEN HIS MAMA RUNS OUT FO TIME THO 
I WONDER IF THAT SHAIT WILL EVER COME TRUE… FAKE ORGANS..
Watching Gangland.. Waiting on the cleaning lady ( arnold’s other baby momma)
@ Lakes good throwback from Snoop I was singing along with the words u posted
I think an this is JMO, she likes the fun of it, not necessarily the work of it. People blasting others for their opinions are no better than those giving the opinions.
Hi Jenie.

@ Lakes I know that part was SAD, what about 2 hrs for a dang bus ride and 4 minutes for a cup of coffee, it may very well come true. That movie puts a good meaning to TIME IS MONEY don’t it
…anyway… what yall hoes doin for the weekend?
@ Zoe..That makes sense. I can see that, her loving the fun aspect of it but, disliking the invasion of privacy part of it.
This Girl has issues…What 11 Yr old is already feeling like they have to prove themselves to the world? What is she trying to prove? And to who is she trying to prove it?
@ Jenie it was good daymn it
@ GA…It was ok. To me, it was one of those movies where they had a great concept and didn’t quite pull it off or it just kinda just ended up blending into other new world order movies.
@GAGIRL87 says:
Has anybody seen the movie “In Time” with Justin Timberlake that chit is GOOD!!!!!
——————————————————————–
Movie Concept was good..But acting was flat…Justin is not an actor that can hold a film on his own… He has to be part of an ensemble…the movie would have been better with stronger actors.
Maybe an 11 years old who comes from such a big name family…
GA GIRL YES FOR ERRTHING THEY HAD TO PAY WIHT TIME.. I WAS LIKE
SHAIT IS ESSCARY 
@ MAN just asked what YA’LL hoes doing this weekend any hoes in the house
Inception was weird as fcuk to me but still enjoyable…kind of like What Dreams May Come
GAGIRL – that’s why nobody should even acknowledge that ish
Has anybody seen the movie “In Time”
__________________________
It had potential to be good but turned out to be “ok”. Looked really low budget.
Ummmm she is 11.
@Ga- Well I can only speak of the regular posters, maybe he talking about Kimmie K.
Don’t you find it ironic when narcissistic celebrities (and their offspring) complain about their lack of privacy when they are the ones who seek constant attention?
No one would be talking about Willow Smith if she wasn’t such a publicity hungry 11-year-old

Isnt there a couple in ATL…whose daughter…NEVERMIND
@DIMPZ
We’ve all seen child stars go very wrong. MJ is at the top of that list for me actually. And I don’t see any animosity coming from you or most of the folks here on SR. I was speaking in general on what compelled Willow to make those statements.
If Willow is as wild and un-parented as some think she would be pulling a Drew Barrymore. She was drinking and getting high at 11. I don’t think Will or Jada play that sht.
I see nothing wrong with Will and Jada letting Willow express herself through clothes. I went through a tomboy stage also. I mean really she’s clean, fed, clothed, not abused, seeing the world, and loved. Really dont see the problem.

@ YSO….I like Drew, glad she “pulled through” I was reading something where she said something to the effect of, why wasn’t she ever allowed to claim dehydration or exhaustion to hide her addictions.
Cant have collards without cornbread.

I just smh…when I was a pre-teen,/teen my parents set boundaries. I did and made decision within those boundaries. Otherwise i snook and did it and it eventually got back to my parents but I digress. I think most parents say “you can be what you wanna be” as in careers and education. I think clothing, makeup, and hair for pre-teen/teen should have boundaries, because you are raising a young lady which will become a woman. For example, you will have a child dressing sexy and then as a parent try not kill ppl for looking suggestively. This child is in the wide open (no boundaries)having to defend herself to the world, which she shouldn’t have to do because of maturity reasons… 1. Why aren’t her parents stepping up and defending her choices they allowed? 2. When is Will and Jada gonna take their balls back and put some pa rental boundaries up? *End RANT* breathing hard, drops mic

I can’t remember that girl’s name who played his girlfriend in the movie the rich girl..who’s father had all the time. Her acting was even worse than Justin’s, but she does a better job in the movie “Chloe”…Justin also does a better job in “Black Snake Moan”
My mom gave me 3 cast iron skillets for what idk…. Hell I don’t eat cornbread
