His father, Will Smith, is in full support of his son’s choices, as he explained, “There's a really powerful internal quality as an artist that as parents we encourage.
You've got to get out on the edge. You have to try things, you have to be comfortable doing things people don't agree with and you have to be comfortable with doing things that you could fail. And Jaden is 100 percent fearless.
He will do anything. As a parent, it's scary, it's really terrifying but he is completely willing to live and die by his own artistic decisions and he just doesn't concern himself with what people think.”
