After a video of the 23-year-old rapper speaking down on his same-aged peers duringa 2018 interviewwent viral on social media last week, Smith took to Twitter on Monday to join in on the internet chatter and make fun of himself in a new post.
Speaking to radio hostBig Boyin 2018 about his music career, then-new single “Icon,” and life in a famous family, Smith — who was 19 at the time — detailed his thoughts on what it’s like to hang out with individuals close to him in age. “I’m very happy that I spent my childhood with more adults than I did with kids my own age,” said the performer.
“I was picking up more things from adults than I were [sic] from kids my own age, and I look, and I go around sometimes, and I hang out with other people that are my age, and they’re just…” Smith continued before doing an impression of his peers and what they care about, throwing his head around and screaming words like “selfie,” “phone,” and “bro.”
“I’m just like, dude, oh my God. Can we talk about the political and economic state of the world right now? Can we talk about what’s going on with the environment? Can we talk about other things?” said theProud Family: Louder and Proudervoice actor. “Don’t worry, I like to turn up. I like to flex. I like to play songs loud and jump in the crowd in Atlanta, but I’m always looking for that next thing. I’m not satisfied at just a party.”
Smith must’ve seen the resurfaced interview clip, as he soon posted a selfie to Twitter alongside a caption poking fun at the video. “Me: Hey Wanna Talk About The Economic And Political State Of World Together,” he wrote. “Girl: Nah … Me: Ok Cool.”
Last month, after his fatherWill SmithsmackedChris Rockonstage during the2022 Oscarsbroadcast,Jaden wrote on Twitter, “And That’s How We Do It.” Later in the evening, he reacted to his 53-year-old dad’s acceptance speech forBest Actor inKing Richard, writing in another tweet, “My Dads Speech Made Me Cry,” posted alongside a selfie of Jaden wearing sunglasses in a car.
