Willow Smith Rejects the ‘Nepo Baby’ Label
Willow Smith, daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, is setting the record straight—she doesn’t want to be labeled a nepo baby.
At just nine years old, Willow stepped out of her family’s shadow with her hit single Whip My Hair. The song, a “fierce anthem of self-expression,” became a cultural sensation and launched her solo career.
Despite her famous last name, Willow proved she was “a star in her own right.” However, she later admitted the intense attention at a young age was overwhelming.
