Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith were once considered Hollywood’s most promising couple. However, events surrounding her memoir have muddied this statement even further. Aside from their romantic relationship, the celebrities are often scrutinized for how they nurture their two children, Willow Smith and Jaden Smith. The now-separated pair has been chastised numerous times for their laid-back parenting style.

Now, Charlamagne has chimed in with his thoughts on how the Smiths handle matters surrounding their children.

Jada Pinkett Smith and her parenting approach

The Breakfast Club host was speaking exclusively on the Brilliant Idiot podcast. During the podcast, Charlamagne was asked if celebrity children can have normal childhoods. As examples, he highlighted Willow Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. The actress has dedicated an entire chapter of her memoir, Worthy, to her daughter. Emphasizing on the wise nature of Willow Smith, the host applauded how she had the courage to set the boundaries at a young age. She not only rejected an offer to star in Annie but also shaved her head during the ‘Whip My Hair’ tour.

Willow Smith was quite self-aware, according to the host. As a result, she did not proceed with the casting and informed her mother that she did not wish to participate. Furthermore, according to the memoir the film was “too much” labor for her, and she just wanted to be a child. Charlamagne went on to say that parents should accept their children’s preferences since it is how a child may have a normal childhood.

The perspectives of Charlamagne regarding the Smith family reveal a lot of intimate information about the famous personalities. However, this was not the first time he had come out in support of the Smith family.

Charlamagne calls out the media

On October 26, The Breakfast Club host rushed to Instagram to defend Jada Pinkett Smith’s memoir, Worthy. He also chastised the media and web portals for propagating misinformation about the “painfully honest” book by the Madagascar actress. The backstory is that her book was labeled a “flop” by the media due to its poor placement on the Amazon Best Sellers’ main page. The book is presently ranked 89 on the list, which measures a book’s success based on sales.

The host, on the other hand, expressed his displeasure with “what’s happening in the media.” In addition, he mentioned some facts that contradicted the popular belief. The book had debuted at number 3 on the New York Times best-seller list. This along with the fact that almost everyone was hooked to the noise surrounding the same is enough proof that Jada’s memoir was far from a flop.
