Will and Jada Pinkett Smith

Exactly this!! that "she was asked" - of course because of all the static she has been making! Years ago she tried to downplay it and quickly change the subject! When he was alive it was totally different.

I can understand it to some degree. Time makes everyone nostalgic for those they knew and loved from their youth. But he's been gone for twice as long as she knew him. Gushing on in interviews about their friendship seems over the top. If his memory is so precious to her you'd think she'd want to keep those feelings private. Instead she wants to make sure everyone knows how special she was to Tupac and he was to her. It looks self-serving to me.
 
She already had a cool factor since she was on A Different World tbh. None of her talking about Tupac or selling some weed is anything new.

"Had" is the keyword! I think she wants to get that back/remind people of that. She married Will and became the rich wife of a Hollywood actor and lots of people said she "changed". Didn't Tupac at one point say something about how spoiled the kids were or something like that??
 
that's interesting. It wasn't that many years ago they were on some talk show saying they go to to other people's homes for parties or whatever and have sex in the bathroom.


And in bathroom's at restaurants too!! Doing too much to try and make it seem like they could not get enough of each other! But that started around the time the rumors of him being gay were no longer just whispered among people! It started being printed!

Really....if that was true, no need to tell the world. She always seems a bit smug to me. Her relationships with her kids and husband are better than anyone else's. His ex is like family.......etc, etc. For all that, I'm not impressed with how the kids have turned out

Exactly!! she worked me nerve pulling out her little soap box to stand on to give her sermon on great parenting as she patted herself on the back.
 
Did someone mention the kids? :nuts:

Here's what Jaden and Willow have been up to with the "art collective" their parents bought for them, er, I mean that their hard work and natural talent got them.

Jaden Smith Drops Two New Songs as Roc Nation Announces Partnership With His and Willow’s MSFTSrep Collective

Roc Nation announced a joint partnership Friday with MSFTSrep, the “art collective” that includes Willow and Jaden Smith and Harry Hudson. According to a release, Roc will work closely with the unit’s label arm, MSFTS Music; all three artists will release music and content via the deal, and two new songs from Jaden arrived on Friday morning, “Batman” and “Watch Me.”

On the partnership, Jaden Smith says, “The collaboration between Roc Nation and MSFTS Music is empowering for the youth and flat out legendary. Having the support of Roc Nation to get our music to the masses and change culture is a dream come true and a blessing. For My Republic I Stand MSFTS Over All, Thank You.

Jay Brown, CEO of the Jay-Z-helmed Roc Nation, says, “The mission behind MSFTS Music is inspiring. Jaden, Willow and Harry are embracing their individuality and turning it into art. MSFTS Music promotes and believes in freedom of expression and Roc Nation is proud to support and promote that message.”

According to the release, MSFTSrep is an “art collective and lifestyle brand that encompasses music, fashion, education and more. Each of the MSFTS artists (Jaden Smith, Willow Smith and Harry Hudson) has their own style and form of musical expression. The larger MSFTS collective is set on pushing the boundaries of the unknown and creating a world where free-flowing expression, personal growth and individuality are encouraged and celebrated. Roc Nation will help amplify this mission.”

Since its debut in 2013, the intentionally vaguely defined collective has been an outlet for Jaden, 19, and Willow, 16, and their associates, including music and clothing. In a 2015 video, Jaden described it thus:

“MSFTSrep – short for MSFTS republic – could be looked at, in simplest terms, as a creative work force dedicated to supporting and waking up the population of planet earth, through attaining knowledge and personal growth. But even that puts it into a box. Anything that could be put into words puts it in a box, because MSFTSrep is more of an expression rather than an explanation.”
