Article - Willow Smith

For those who don’t know, Will Smith’s nine-year-old daughter, Willow, has just released the official video for her first single, Whip My Hair.






I personally love the song and I think it will become a huge hit. It’s already getting requested frequently in nightclubs and now Willow is signed to Jay Z’s label, ROC Nation, the single is going to have the best platform to become an international hit and help her make her stamp on the music scene.

But a lot of people are already voicing their concerns about her age. While it is clear that she is extremely talented for her age, is it really necessary for her to be put into the spotlight this early?

It does seem to be a trend in the Smith household considering her 12 year old brother -Jaden Smith -was the boy on everyone’s lips after he featured in the hit summer remake, The Karate Kid.
I personally think it wouldn’t have hurt to wait till Willow turned 15 before getting her to start her music career but at the end of the day she is Will Smith’s daughter. She’s going to be in the spotlight either way so why not do something productive rather than become yet another waste of space Hollywood child. As long as her parents and Jay Z keep her grounded then she has the potential to take the throne from her idol, Rihanna.

At the age of nine, I personally think she’s already better than Rihanna. Must suck to know a child can sing better than you!

It wont be long before you hear girls, old and young, singing ‘I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH’!
