Jaden Smith Concerns Fans After Breaking Down In Tears In IG Video
Jaden Smith has been rather lowkey in recent times. The son of Will and Jada Smith hasn’t dropped much music over the past few years. In 2021, he dropped off CTV3: Day Tripper’s Edition which he appears to be pushing. Though he dropped a few singles since then, he hit the road with Justin Bieber on the Justice tour but for the most part, it appears that his efforts have been focused on film and television endeavors.
Smith’s landed some prominent roles in recent times, largely connected to Kid Cudi. He appeared in the documentary, A Man Named Cudi. Later on, he did voiceover work in Netflix’s Entergalactic as BMX star Jordan. Then, he landed a role in the remake of Disney’s Proud Family. Whether he makes a full pivot towards television hasn’t been made clear but it doesn’t seem like he’s willing to slow down any of his other ventures in the near future, including music.
Jaden Smith Sheds Tears In Latest Instagram Post
Jaden Smith hit the ‘Gram this week but his latest post appeared to alarm fans. As “Cabin Fever from the Hill” played in the background, Smith shed tears as he stands on what appeared to be a ranch. “I Love My Fans I Love Our Journeys This Family is Our Fortress,” he wrote in the caption the short video on his Instagram page. “I Should write something about emotions and how they’re okay or whatever but honestly I just found this video in my phone. Still In Love Video In My Bio,” he added.
Though it seemed to be a promotional post for his latest video off of CTV3: Day Tripper’s Edition, fans expressed their concern and showed their support for him in the comment section of the post. One fan pointed out how Jaden’s post and the reactions that followed highlight the stigmas surrounding showing emotion, especially among men. Many applauded Smith for showing his emotions on a public platform. Check out the music video for CTV3: Day Tripper’s Edition “Still In Love” below and sound off with your thoughts on Jaden Smith’s recent Instagram post in the comment section.
Jaden’s MSFTrep Collection Inspired By Will Smith’s “Fresh Prince” Sunflower
As the child of two Hollywood powerhouses, Jaden Smith pulls from his parents’ experiences as inspiration. As a teen, he partnered with his sister Willow to establish their own fashion brand. MSFTrep has pushed the envelope, much like his family often has, and the brand—also co-founded by actors Moises and Mateo Arias—is boasted as being a place for misfits to find a shelter of sorts.
We’ll get a further look at MSFTrep’s next installment sometime this month, and in an interview with Footwear News, Jaden spoke on being inspired by his father’s famed sitcom for the launch. While of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Will Smith donned a sunflower costume in an earlier season, which was a look that has gone down in history. The “Trippy Summer” collection will also reportedly feature “bright psychedelic colors, twisted fonts, and nods to nature.”

“I wanted to make people into plants and turn people into flowers. Because being one with nature is like reaching the highest level of consciousness,” said Jaden. In the Fresh Prince episode, Will was forced to dress up and perform with children in order to graduate from high school. He made the best of it and turned the production into a Hip Hop show—of sorts.
“It was super embarrassing for his character in the episode, but I thought it was an amazing idea of how to turn someone into a flower,” Jaden also shared. His collection doesn’t mimic his dad’s TV look, but it does serve as a generational connection. From one successful Smith to the next, one of Will’s best Fresh Prince memories lives on.

Although Jaden is close with his family, he also recognized at an early age that he wanted to remove himself from being boxed in. “I separated myself from everything that I’d known at the time and caught a different vibe,” he further said. “I needed that time to really have those solo thoughts and to think about stuff. It was a big part of me being who I am today.” Check out more from MSFTrep below.

Jaden Opens Up About His Struggles With Gaining Weight After A Family Intervention Regarding His Health
Jaden is one of the more eccentric artists of his generation, and sure enough, his career has seen both highs and lows. During a recent episode of his mother Jada Pinkett Smith’s show Red Table Talk, which streams on Facebook Watch, Jaden opened up about his struggles with gaining weight. “I was able to work with the doctors and really get my vitamins and get my supplements and protein shakes,” Jaden said. That’s half of my diet. It’s like a password that I have to find for my body. I’m like, 10 pounds heavier now at this point.”
He added, “I feel like I’m keeping on my weight. I’m able to put on my muscle.” Jaden later said that he feels much better about his health, adding that he’s “came a long way” since his 2019 Coachella set, where he said he was at his skinniest. “Looking back on where I was in 2019, that was a long way from where I was when I Was at Coachella [that year] where I was just like, bones. I thought I was so tight. I was like, ‘I’m swagging on this. Like, I need to take off my shirt right now.’”
In 2019, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith spoke about holding a family intervention due to concerns with Jaden’s weight loss. They explained that it was “because he’s a vegan now, but we realized he wasn’t getting enough protein.” They added, “So he was wasting away. He just looked drained, he was just depleted, he wasn’t getting the nutrients.”
