let me get dis in b4 the hater’s come out! he’s so cute & as usual i’m luvin his outfit,luv jaden.
I agree with you. People will hate in the comments to come. I love is outfit and he is very cute
Let me add my 2 cents too. He is adorable. I love this little boy. When this kid’s pictures are shown it’s like the haters became glenn beck with the Obama girls. LOL Don’t understand it.
LOL,Glenn Beck,that’s a good 1.Pretty true 2,imo.
Yes he is a handsome lil’ dude. TI looking good too
Yummy T.I. I love his single “GOT YOUR BACK” ft. Keri Hilson
BEST LINE: “I know what i got at home…i ain’t never gon leave that…them B****es best believe that…”
Wow- U love a song where black women are again degraded and called b*$#%^ and h#$s?? Nice!
Not so much, but i hear where he’s coming from with all the haters and women bring word on his relationship with Tameka. Who are we to say that these “individuals” don’t act like b****es? Plus he didn’t mention any names, so it’s general, plus he’s not calling all women b****es just the shady ones in his situation AND I LIKE THIS SONG!
Evelina Rae: you explanation sounds like that bit that Chris Rock did about women dancing to the music that denigrates them and say “HE AIN’T TALKING BOUT ME”. That was too funny.
CHRUE!
lololol…I LOVE that Chris Rock special..”smack ha with a ****, smack ha with a ****”…lololol.
I haven’t seen it, but it sounds funny. I understand what Monica and yourself are saying. I’m not saying calling people B****ES is right, ’cause it really isn’t…i just don’t feel this song is saying all females that “like me” are b****es ’cause they’re not Tameka “Tiny” Cottle. I’ll say this i didn’t write the song, so maybe he saying it to me
He’s never going to leave it, cool! But when is he going to make it official? Now that’s the question! lol!
Giggles, i like your question. If Tameka’s good enough to be your baby mama, by choice and good enough to hold on your arm then she’s good enough to officially be Mrs. Tameka “Tiny” Harris, it’s well over due T.I. y’all have been together a long time. You’re out now, so make it happen.
Although, It’s their business, I do wonder exactly what this woman has to do to get him to take her to the altar,unless they just don’t believe in marriage. I think everybody has to make the life that works best for them; but were I her and had to look back to the way he walked out on his other girlfriend with two sons; I’d have to wonder is that woman a “There but for the grace of God, go I” situation. He does have a history. Especially after she has pretty much given up her career and continues giving him children. Excuse me, he could be the best boyfriend in the world, but he couldn’t stay with my daughter and continue to make babies without legally committing, without me having something to say about it. Now I realize that having my say wouldn’t necessarily make it happen; but it would not be as easy to be around me as he is around her parents. I mean, having a baby, a slip up but when you start raising a family then we getting into a different category. I remember Sting and his girlfriend having all those children and when his children became old enough, they asked their parents to please get married. To me, that would have been embarassing. Like I say to each his own and all have to choose for themselves but it appears that we, as a people, move closer back to the way they made us do during slavery. I must admit that there are two views on this and mine tend to bow to the parties involved….So that’s why I say, if she were my daughter. But then she’s not.
Jayden is the perfect blend of his mom and dad (so is Willow by the way). Jayden’s blessed, I wish I knew what I wanted to do with my life at such a young age. Go ‘head Jayden, do your thang!
From a well wisher.
Just the same way people say they are sick of seeing Halle and Nahla I’m sick of seeing this kid. Something about hm just rubs me the wrong way.I’m sorry but he comes off as an arrogant little jerk. It has nothing to do with “hating” on him please. I just don’t like grown kids who don’t know how to stay in there place.
Jonella- I SO agree! There is no hatin’ going on here either! He is a kid and there is nothing to envy!
Aw contreau….. There is much to envy and many do…of a child even. Instead of being happy and hoping to see more kids enjoy this kind of life….they can’t stand this child….for God sakes, he is a child.
Hey, Khrish! I was just asking Pisces about you. I haven’t seen you around here lately, so I was wondering if she had. Then again, I haven’t been around much either. Life can be so busy. Glad to know you are still posting on BCK
Hi Teri. I left the two of you a comment at the website with Eddie’s little girl. I have been whacking it out with the teabaggers on Facebook. You know I love politics and I had to really do some serious combating over there with those losers about this oil spill and all the other crap going on. Glad to hear from you.
HI KHRISH! Hope all is well with you and loved your WHAT!? reply to the texter. xoxo.
You are seeing so much of Jaden right now because he is promoting his new movie. You don’t see his sister as much.
I’m not a fan but I think he’s the way he is because his parents are who they are. I mean he’s Will Smith’s son. In his mind, that is huge & he maybe trying to live up to that.
I don’t know. He’s a child so I won’t say anything bad, but I am not a fan of the Smiths as I was of Will Smith. Jaden is looking rather cute though.
Then why visit this sight at all. Take your jealous self on someone else.
That’s what i’m sayin or don’t click on a post about him or w/e child u dislike.which seem’s strange,anyway u ain’t bein forced 2 look at him,Nahla or any other kid.
Beylieva, honey I belief you. You got that right. There are many of the posts that I just skip right over because I am not interested and they should learn to do the same. They are not really going to make a difference in this child’s life but he can certainly make a difference in their.. LOL
yeah it’s like they come in post about him & w/e child they don’t like & talk ish.it does’nt make since 2 me,but i’m glad i’m not alone,lol.
Something about you hating on a child rubs me the wrong way.
It does seem so infantile, doesn’t it? His parents are one thing but this is just a little boy who is enjoying learning what life is all about. I just don’t know what it is they expect of him, for goodness sake. Like I said before….It’s as ridiculous as glenn beck hating on the Obama girls.
Hmmm…interesting. And what place is that? Maybe he should be at home in front of the tv or playing video games or something. Maybe not. Seems like he is exactly where he is suppose to be…promoting the movie that he worked so hard on. For the life of me I will never be able to figure out why this child bothers some people. Who is he not to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Maybe his light shines a little too much for some. But if that’s the case, that’s your problem. It doesn’t mean that anything is wrong with him. Keep doing you Jayden.
“what place is that” A CHILDS PLACE! I’ve come across him do interviews. He ttys to come off as if he is on the same level as grown folks when he not. He’s 11 and needs to act like it. It’s one thing to be a kid in show business but also he needs to be taught to humble himself. The same way you were given all you have it could be snatched away so count you’re blessings. I’m sorry if I don’t find everything he does to be “”oh so cute” because I don’t find grown kids cute I find it obniouxs! As far as his” light shining too bright for some” please he is child to me.
Okay. But it seems to me like you are putting him in an 11 year old box. He’s not just an 11 year old child. He’s Jayden; a unique, talented individual who happens to be 11 but does that mean that he has to act like every other 11 year old? He is just being himself and who are you to say how that should be? Is he being unpleasant in these interviews? Is he disrespecting adults? Is talking about things that a “child” shouldn’t be talking about? What exactly has he said or done that has bothered you because I have yet to see him do or say ANYTHING negative. I think this young man is going to grow up to make a positive impact (as his parents have) on an industry and culture that both need all the positivity that they can get. As long as he stays postiive I will be behind this “grown child”.
I agree with you Skittles. I appreciate that big-headed boy and I know he’ll go far with or without the critics.
Maybe he is in a CHILD’S PLACE. Maybe your confusion comes with so many “adults” acting like children. Consider that one.
too often we hold children down and tell them to stay in a childs place and never teach them HO WTO BE AN ADULT. when they hit 18 they are now thrust into adult hood and can’t feind for themselves. is he selling dope? impregnating girls? soooooooooo…… stay in a childs place? he is being a child…a smart well adjusted gifted child. but w/e…not everyone likes everyone so it is what it is.
I agree, not a fan of Jaden and have never warmed to him. Seen him in countless interviews and he just comes across as so bratty and ”i’m so great” its so off-putting.
Why do you have to be a hater if someone doesnt really do it for you? - Jeeeez.
Alot of people say because ”his dad is will smith”, give me a break!
So what, yes his dad is a movie star and yes he is rich but he’s not god or anything and there are so many kids with parents similar to his, i.e. the obama girls, but they come across as 100% modest, sweet and bascailly act like their age. I saw P Diddy’s kids in an interview and funny enough i thought they came across as real sweeties and they have a rich, superstar dad, so sometimes personality is just personality in all fairness.
Jaden on the otherhand looks like he’s growing way too fast. I heard he was home-schooled as well which i dont really think is at all good for a kid. Mark it on the wall, he will be like Paris Hilton when he’s older, in other words, rich and snotty!
Well, unlike Paris Hilton, he actually works. So he at 11 is better than she is at damn near 30. Quite sad when you think about it.
I’ve never paid attention to Jaden, so I can’t say if he’s arrogant or not. *shrugs* And even though I am not happy with the remaking of everything from my childhood, I hope his movie does well. From the little I’ve seen, he’s put a lot of work into it for such a young boy.
Thank you and this was all I was trying to say. Seems like if you say you don’t like a person you are automatically seen as “”hating”" or being “jealous” when that’s far from the case. lmao others may think the Jaden and his family are the best thing since sliced bread but i don’t a nd I’m entitled to that right? I still stand by my feelings. Which is I don’t like his attitude. It’s one thing to be confident, but another to just walk like your youknowwhat don’t stink. I have daughter myself of course I want her to be confident and feel good about herself but also know how to be humble and have humilty,emphathy and compassion for other people. Having that “it’s all about me” attitude gets you nowhere in life. maybe it’s just me though.-shurgs-
Sorry for any spelling or grammar errors.. I’m a school teacher and should know better then this but hey I’m on summer vacation now.. how I type here is not really not all that important to me.. But anyway I’m so tired of folks over using the word “hater”..everybody is not going to like eveybody and that’s just life..take it or leave it.
jaden keep em mad boy lol
st0p hatin please n0 n33d t0 hat3 ppl 3ver tim3 s0m3b0dy raising up s0m3b0dy always g0t s0m3thin smart tew say LHH
WHAT? LOL
WOW. Is that the new English? Is that what’s hot on the streets? LOL
where they do that at? lmao!
truth be told, wouldn’t it just be faster to type the normal way? cause it dang sho took me twice as long to translate that lol!
man, with the exception of multiple comments about Jada’s tmi on her sex life, this is almost identical to the post about the Smiths on Oprah lol! *raises hand sheepishly* you could say i was one of the small few who wasn’t the biggest fan of the Smiths. i mean it is what it is. one back and forth was enough for me. it’s not that deep. my name is Bennett and i ain’t innit! lol!
WHAT?????LOL
LOL,KHRISH i was about 2 type the same thing! when i saw ur “WHAT?” i nearly died,OMG!
LOL. I know I had to do a double take on that. It’s funny but then again, it’s not. That just doesn’t make sense to type and attempt to communicate like that.
I do realize that she is texting but there has to be a better way to spell what she wants to say. But who am I to judge…..I don’t text. LOL
LMBO!! Y’all made me snort my soda!! Wouldn’t it be much easier to just learn standard English?
Although I feel his attitude is just rancid, I will support this movie. We need and HAVE to support our up and coming young stars so the big whigs in Hollywood can see that we are marketable too. I am going to see it twice even if it stinks!
Wow just wow because god knows if everybody doesn’t cherish the ground the smith family walks or find everything they do to be so great oh yea they are “jealous” or “envy” thier lifestyle (major eyeroll over here)…I woulnt want their lifestyle of all the money in the world HA not if it means selling myself to have this kinda attitude. He is a cute kid yes but his attitude is UGLY.Good looks don’t mean a hill of beans if you’re attitude doesn’t match. I stick by what I said and I still feel the same way. You can like this kid all you want but I DON’T have to. Thank you and goodbye.
You still have yet to clarify what you mean by ugly. The whole “grown up child” schtick just doesn’t hold up. Perhaps the real issue is you, not the Smith family because if you hated them that much (as you seem to here) then why click on links with their names or faces on it? Doesn’t make sense to me.
I saw a pic of Will Smith with Jaden at one of the Karate Kid premiere’s and the fans were going wild for Will. It was like father said, “Step back, son, and let me show you how it’s done.” Whatever Will Smith is doing he’s doing right by his family and by his career, so keep on hating and doing what you do. Then us know how it all turns out.
Sheesh!
Those are not my feelings at all. I just find that people come off a bit rough when talking about the little guy. He is a young and I really don’t see anything bratty about what he does. Do you want him to sit on the stage when being interviewed and just act like he is unsure of what he does? I mean I think he’s cute and does really good work that is going to become better work. As far as home schooling, it the Smith’s own a school, I’d feel that he is going to get a lot more there than an ordinary public school. Home schooling for the Smiths doesn’t mean that they are doing the teaching. While I do wonder about some people who home school because they do it themselves and some that I’ve seen or met don’t seem to have enough schooling and know how themselves to be home school; it feel that this kid won’t miss a thing. With children who are in the entertainment business, they usually have private tutors travel with them anyway…so there’s not a great difference. It just seems weird to talk about this kid like some do. But that’s my opinion. It does sometimes seem that it’s the parents that aren’t liked and it’s taken out on the kids. I don’t see any of these people as a God.I just think that Jaden is a really cute and talented little guy and I like him and his self assuredness.
Do not judge a book by its cover, open it up, read through the pages and then make your call! My heavens! Unless you have walked, talked and interacted with Jaden, then how in the world can you judge this child?! I pray no one judges you by mere appearances. Some kids are more confident due to the level of security that has been betowed on them by their upbringing. There is nothing wrong with being confident, if that is what you are referring to. Look at Dakota Fanning when she was much younger, oh my heavens she carried herself very well for a child of her age and nothing was said of that?! The white people did not shot her down, so why do we have to shot ours down….STOP IT WITH THE PLANTATION MENTALITY AND learn to uplift, support, and love your people no matter what. Whatever is wrong, pray for them and allow God to change what needs to be changed within that individual. Much love!
Thank you, SummerG!
Actually, some people weren’t happy with Dakota Fanning either. They even thought her dialogue in her films and interviews were ‘too advanced’ for a child her age. I suppose there weren’t enough ‘likes’ and slang to pacify them. I really think they were uncomfortable with the fact that a child was far more eloquent than people twice or three times her age i.e. them.
@Khrish - thank you for responding.
*sigh* My sister and I were talking about what a battle it is to try to get people to WAKE UP out of their ignorant and misinformed stupor. I know we all have our own POV, but sometimes it just seems like some people’s POV is based on a lack of facts whatsoever and strictly emotion. I’ve noticed that A LOT since Obama took office.
Keep fighting the good fight, sista! I know it’s exhausting, but I know you are holding your own.
I agree. I actually want to see it. I enjoyed the original and this one looks to be very good.
