Jada Pinkett Smith Fires Back At Critics Of Her Memoir, “Worthy”

November 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jada Pinkett Smith has responded to critics of her new memoir, Worthy. Appearing on The Breakfast Club, she took particular aim at Ana Navarro, who slammed the book during a recent episode of The View. Navarro accused Jada of intentionally embarrassing her husband, Will Smith, for book sales. She said at the time: “I don’t wanna read the book. I don’t wanna give them another dime for her emasculating and embarrassing him to everybody in the world.”

“Well, I think if she took time to read the book, you know? I think that, if you wanna just read headlines, I could see how that could be confusing,” Jada said in response. “But the book is right here.” She added that everyone has “a right to their opinions” and claimed “anybody who’s saying that hasn’t really done their homework.”

Writing about her marriage to Will Smith in Worthy, Jada explains that the two consider their relationship “transparent” instead of “open.” “As long as we had each other’s trust, we could work through anything,” she says. “The solution then was to create an agreement to help build that trust by which we would never be in a position to lie to each other.” Check out her comments on The Breakfast Club below.

Jada released Worthy back in October, making numerous headlines with revelations from the book. Perhaps the most noteworthy was that she and Will secretly split in 2016.

Rick Ross Shares Thoughts On Jada Pinkett Smith And Her Memior: “Come On Jada, Chill Out Baby”

November 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rick Ross is making headlines with his candid opinions on actress Jada Pinkett Smith and her newly released memoir, Worthy. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the rapper didn’t hold back, expressing his strong sentiments about Jada’s book tour and the personal revelations it contained. Jada’s memoir delved into the intricate details of her life and her relationship with husband Will Smith. The book left no stone unturned, offering an intimate look at the ups and downs of their marriage. Rick Ross had previously voiced his disapproval, particularly concerning how Jada openly discussed her and Will’s private matters, causing him to reevaluate his own perspective on marriage.

In his recent interview with Rolling Stone, Rick Ross did not mince words when asked about Jada’s book tour. Rozay made his opinion clear when he said he doesn’t agree with Jada. He also said that she felt she was out of touch. “I don’t think I agree with Jada Pinkett,” he said. “To me, she’s psychologically lost and needs some counseling. Jesus! What are you going to tell us next? When you tell us you haven’t been together in six years, you haven’t had sex in this many years, you don’t have a prenuptial agreement — OK, what’s next?”

Furthermore, he continued by expressing that “I heard the book flopped because she already told us everything. No one cares. That’s what they don’t understand. Sometimes as celebrities, you can get out of touch. Will Smith isn’t the same Will Smith as he was 20 years ago. Jada Pinkett, chill out, baby!” Ross then proceeded to say that the public is not interested in further stories. “You were in the movie Set It Off, and that’s all we know you from. You got $15K for that role and that’s it. Calm down. You f**cked your son’s best friend. You said your son introduced you to psychedelics. What’s next?! And to be honest, we’re not interested! I don’t want to know if Tupac got alopecia! Jada, Rozay still got love for you, but go sit down.”

Rick Ross’ unfiltered comments reflect the divergent opinions surrounding Jada Pinkett Smith’s memoir and her candid revelations about her marriage. While some applaud her transparency, others, like Rick Ross, have reservations about it. Mostly due to the debate of the extent to which such personal matters should be shared with the public. Regardless of one’s perspective, it’s clear that Jada’s book has sparked discussions and raised questions about the boundaries between personal and public life in the realm of celebrity.

October 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Diddy has responded to the rumors that he once wanted to fight Will Smith after the actor and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, tried to have a threesome with his then-girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez. Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Diddy downplayed the truthfulness of the story.

“Speaking of love, I saw a guy on the internet the other day,” Kimmel began. “He said he used to be your security guard, who said that when you were dating J. Lo, Will Smith and Jada tried to pick her up on a threesome, and you were gonna beat up Will Smith. Is that true?” Diddy replied: “This show has gotten crazier since the last time. You really heard that? Nah.” After joking about not believing everything you hear on the internet, Diddy adds: “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Jimmy, I thought we was friends.”

The former bodyguard, Gene Deal, detailed the alleged story while speaking with The Art of Dialogue, earlier this month. He claimed the couple had “made advances” on Lopez. He also joked that Will would mostly likely “beat the shit” out of Diddy, although he did admit the music industry mogul can “scrap.”

Diddy Discusses Will Smith Fight Rumors

Diddy’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! appearance comes as he promotes his upcoming film, Off The Grid, which is inspired by his latest project, The Love Album. He shared a trailer for the film on Monday.

For a second, Diddy stares at Kimmel with a tense expression as the audience laughs. He then breaks into laughter.

“This show has gotten crazier since the last time,” Diddy jokes back about the Will Smith rumor.

“It’s all about love, though,” Kimmel asks again. “That’s not true?”

“You really heard that?” Diddy replied. “Nah.” Kimmel and Diddy then poke fun about how you can’t believe everything you see on the internet, to which the rapper and mogul responds, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Jimmy, I thought we was friends.”

From there, the interview shifts subjects to Kimmel discussing another interview Diddy did, where he revealed that he tried toad venom. Kimmel also pointed out that Eric Andre said last week he did a similar thing that provided a psychedelic effect.

Jada Pinkett-Smith Memoir Plagued By Disappointing Sales Figures

October 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jada Pinkett-Smith has been on a massive media run as of late. Overall, it is all because of her brand-new memoir called Worthy. This is a memoir that a lot of folks were interested in. Of course, it is easy to see why this would be the case. Her relationship with Will Smith has been under the microscope for many years at this point. Moreover, people wanted to know about what happened during that fateful night at the Oscars.

In the end, however, Pinkett-Smith ended up giving away the premise of her entire book before it even came out. Instead of letting people read the book and come away with their own headlines, Jada gave them to us for free. Consequently, it should come as no real surprise that the sales for the book have not been great. Simply put, people felt like they’d read the book already. According to The Neighborhood Talk, the memoir has failed to crack the top 100 on numerous charts, including Kindle E-reader, Barnes & Noble, and Publisher’s Weekly.

Based on the reviews from people who did read the book, the content isn’t all that much better. Some claimed that the stories were told in a boring fashion. Moreover, there were others who felt like the entire catalog of Red Table Talk episodes does a better job of explaining who Jada Pinkett-Smith is. Needless to say, nothing here was a real co-sign for the book. If you were thinking of picking up the book, it seems like you might just come away feeling a bit disappointed.

If you did read the new memoir, let us know what you thought of it, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the entertainment world. We will always be sure to keep you informed of everything that is going on.

Jada Pinkett Smith Speaks Out On Her Sexuality

October 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jada Pinkett Smith says that she’s “had a few sexual experiences with women,” but they helped her realize that “when it comes to sex, I love men.” She opened up about her sexuality in her new memoir, Worthy. The revelation comes as Jada has been making headlines throughout the month of October for making various comments on her marriage to Will Smith, her friendship with 2Pac, and more.

“Now, there have always been rumors that I’m gay – that I like women,” Jada Pinkett Smith wrote. “Maybe that had something to do with the clubs where I hung out, like the Catch, one of the leading LGBTQ+ spots in LA at this time that had nights for getting up and doing lip-syncs, and where I myself, on several occasions, got up onstage and lip-synched to all kind of songs.”

After admitting that she’s experimented with women, Jada continued: “Still, I cherish the beauty of women inside and out. And I have never stopped being infatuated and in awe of women of all ages, sizes, and colors. My belief is – women are the most amazing creatures on the planet, and I hold reverence for women through my friendships.”

The release of her memoir comes as Jada continues to shop for a distributor for her series, Red Table Talk. Of its return, she recently confirmed to The Messager: “I can’t say at this time, but we definitely plan on coming back.” The show previously ran on Facebook Watch for five seasons. During that time she spoke with a variety of celebrity guests including Kid Cudi, Wale, Jordyn Woods, Common, T.I., Snoop Dogg, Lauren London, Ice Cube, Bobby Brown, Kevin Hart, Queen Latifah, Fat Joe, and many more. Be on the lookout for updates on Red Table Talk’s return on HotNewHipHop.

Jada Pinkett Smith Recalls Being “Rageful” After Receiving 2Pac’s Ashes From Suge Knight

October 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

As her book tour continues, Jada Pinkett Smith shared the story of receiving 2Pac’s ashes from Suge Knight. “Having to receive ‘Pac’s ashes in that way was a really devastating moment … to just get him in this little cardboard box. And yeah, I was very rageful about the whole thing.” Pinkett Smith said. The actress went on to say that there was something about Suge’s attitude in that moment that rubbed her the wrong way.

However, Pinkett Smith played coy when asked if Suge’s behavior made her believe he was involved in 2Pac’s death. “One thing I’ve learned – not to make assumptions. Lord knows so many assumptions gave been made about me of what people think they know front-facing. And there’s always more to the story so I can’t make assumptions,” she said in response.

2Pac Suspect Arraignment Postponed A Second Time

However, despite the flurry of activity earlier this month, the legal proceedings into 2Pac’s murder have once again stalled. Judge Tierra Jones agreed to postpone the arraignment of Duane “Keefe D” Davis for a second time. The motion was filed by Ross Goodman, a prominent Vegas-area lawyer. Goodman argued that he needed more time to determine whether he wanted to be confirmed as Davis’ lawyer. “I’m going to give you two weeks, but in two weeks, we have to get this case moving,” Jones warned Goodman. Davis was originally scheduled to be arraigned on October 4.

Despite this, Goodman indicated that Davis intended to plead not guilty once he was finally arraigned. “I’m not yet hired to review the grand jury transcripts. But the things that jump out, there’s no gun, there’s no car, and there are no witnesses from 27 years ago,” Goodman argued. The not guilty plea will come despite Davis having spent the last few years openly bragging about his involvement in 2Pac’s murder. The various interviews Davis has given, as well as the book he published, are expected to be used as evidence by the prosecution.

Will Smith Surprises Jada Pinkett Smith During Book Tour Stop: ‘Hold it Down for You the Way You Have Held it Down for Me’

October 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Will Smith surprised Jada Pinkett Smith on her book tour stop in Baltimore. The event was at the Enoch Pratt Free Libary, where the Baltimore Sun delivered details of what was said.

“I just really wanted to come out and just be here and hold it down for you the way you have held it down for me,” Smith said. “We have had a very, very long and tumultuous [relationship]. We call it ‘brutiful.’ It was brutal and beautiful at the same time.”

Will Smith has an official quote out regarding various reveals from Jada Pinkett Smith across the media last week. The New York Times quoted the A-list actor in another interview with his wife.

“When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in, and you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties,” Smith said.

Smith added a letter to another appearance of an estranged wife, which will be on the On Purpose podcast hosted by Jay Shetty.

“I applaud and honor you. If I had read this book 30 years ago, I definitely would’ve hugged you more,” Smith wrote. “I’ll start now. Welcome to the Authors Club. I love you endlessly. Now go get some Merlot and take a rest.”

Last week, Jada Pinkett Smith revealed that she could have been Tupac’s wife. Sitting with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson for the All the Smoke podcast, Pinkett Smith revealed that Pac proposed to her while he was locked up in Rikers Island.

“Seeing him there, the condition that he was in and having to leave him there,” Pinkett Smith said. “He was in bad shape. And so, when he asked me to get married, he was at Rikers

“I knew at that time that he needed somebody to do time with him, which I was gonna do anyway. He didn’t have to marry me to do that. I’m here. He needed a rock. Because of our friendship and everything we had been through together, he just wanted to feel that solidified foundation.”

Pinkett Smith believes that Tupac would have divorced her as soon as he exited prison. You can hear it all from her below.
