Will Smith dwells within the starship of those select few artists whose relevance is as prevalent in the cinematic terrain as in the House of Symphony. After energizing a deadbeat summer box office, Smith’s artistic comeback followed a personal musical renaissance. Although not everyone was sold on the latter, with the Grammy nominations rolling in, his core fandom did keep an eye for the unexpected. However, in a musical plot twist, Smith was found swelling in pride for not himself but Willow Smith’s double Grammy call, leaving fans a little emotional on the way.

Will Smith’s rap comeback may not have the Grammys’ attention, but his daughter, Willow Smith’s music did with not one but two nominations for Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical) for ‘Empathogen,’ and Best Arrangement (Instruments & Vocals) for ‘Big Feelings.’ To give his pride a platform for celebration, proud Papa Smith took to his Instagram handle to congratulate the Grammy nominee with a carousel of posts including a video beside his daughter’s poster, beating the trumpets while gasping in absolute honor with his hands held across the mouth.

The Bad Boys star shared a picture of Willow Smith’s poster with the Grammy nomination announcement and a video to round off the gesture of appreciation. Although the 2025 Annual Grammy Awards is still far off the coast with a season of year-ending festivities in between, the music world is calling in the early toasts with the nomination chart with a drumroll, and all Will Smith did was to answer that call.

Having already been on a journey of self-discovery with his musical comeback, Willow Smith’s dial-back from Grammy is not only a reason for Will Smith to celebrate but also reassure himself, that his association with music is far from a coincidence and more of a destiny.

In the heart of Hollywood, talent is key to success, but with a Smith DNA running through your veins, success becomes synonymous with destiny. Hence, with the Smith headquarters preparing to pop the champagne, fans could not help but shed a tear of happiness or two. Looking at Smith’s proud face, some fans felt Willow was definitely the “lucky daughter.” Meanwhile, a few left their good wishes, saying, “I hope she win.”

A few though the recognition is a nod as much to Smith’s daughter’s skills as it is to his. A fan even wrote, “when you’re a hardworking dad your kids will learn how to win faster,” and it is safe to say there is not much to contest. While the thread pumped up with “congratulation” messages flooding in, many also took the moment to pat the Grammy nominee, adding that “she earned it.” While inheritance of skills in Hollywood is often excused with nepotism, thank god for Smiths, who never take a break from doing a 180 on conventions.
