[55] [56]

Jaden was managed by Will Smith's management company, Westbrook Entertainment, until March 2019 when Three Six Zero, an established management firm, acquired Westbrook. [57] Following the acquisition, on July 24, 2020, Smith released the single "Cabin Fever", from his third album CTV3: Cool Tape Vol. 3, which he described is a completion of the trilogy of the previous Cool tapes and "also kinda completing the trilogies of Syre and Erys at the same time".

Musical artistry and influences

Smith's influences include Kid Cudi, Kanye West, Kurt Cobain and Tycho. [60] He also considers his father, Will Smith, an inspiration, saying: "He started in music and transitioned to movies. I started with movies, and then I transitioned into making music—I look at him and use it as a blueprint of how good of a person he is, but not necessarily the success that he reached." [60]

Other ventures

GQ described Smith as "in a league of his own" in terms of fashion and a "superstar who has taken fashion to an entirely different level". [61] [62] Smith has called Tyler the Creator, Batman and Poseidon his icons when it comes to fashion. [63] Smith said that Tyler the Creator introduced him to the brand Supreme. [64] Batman's dark, gothic scenery has influenced the clothing he has created through his brand MSFTSrep [63] and his personal clothing style, wearing Batman protective armor to Kanye West's and Kim Kardashian's wedding and his prom. [65] [66] MSFTSrep's range includes hoodies, T-shirt, trousers and vests. In May 2013 Smith collaborated with a Korean designer, Choi Bum Suk, to create a pop-up store where customers can buy clothes with their collaborated logos. [67]

In 2016, Smith modelled in a womenswear campaign for Louis Vuitton wearing a skirt. [68] Explaining his choice to wear a skirt, he said he was attempting to combat bullying, saying "In five years, when a kid goes to school wearing a skirt, he won't get beat up and kids won't get mad at him." [69] Smith continued to wear womenswear throughout the rest of 2016. [70] He was the first male model to model womenswear for Louis Vuitton. [71] He created a denim line with fashion brand G-Star in 2018. [72] [73]

Smith has been a partner in spring water company Just Water [74] since he was 12 years old. [75] Just Water is attempting to create a water filtration system anyone can afford, which can be used in poorer areas and nations; [76] they also seek to help with water infrastructure, and creating more environmentally-friendly construction methods by producing their own drywall. [76] Just Water launched officially in the UK on August 27, 2018. [77]

Personal life

Jaden Smith's father Will revealed that his son sought an emancipation ruling without his parents' consent, as a present for his 15th birthday. Will told the media that Jaden's primary motivation was the establishment of his own residence and also explained that his children were not subject to strict parenting: "We generally don't believe in punishment. From the time Jaden was five or six, we would sit him down, and all he has to do is be able to explain why what he did was the right thing for his life." [78] However, Smith and his father appeared together on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on May 15, 2013, where Jaden said:

The thing that people don't get is everything at his house is free. So I can get anything and everything at his house, so I'm going to be there for 20, 30 more years. He [Will Smith] says that as soon as I have a movie that's bigger than one of his movies I can get my own house. [79]

In June 2017, Smith moved out of his parents' house into a $4 million home in Hidden Hills. [80]

Smith subscribes to, and sends tweets about, numerous conspiracy theories [81] including the Illuminati, [82] [83] and chemtrails. [84]

In 2013, Smith criticized traditional education and advised people to drop out of school. [14] Discussing teenagers who attend public school, he said, "Kids who go to normal school are so teenagery, so angsty." [85]

Smith dated Sarah Snyder from 2015 to 2017. [86] She inspired numerous songs on Smith's debut album, Syre. [87]

Smith is a vegetarian. [88] He started a mobile restaurant providing free vegan dinners for the homeless (but where others pay). [89] His vegan lifestyle caused his parents to intervene, following a rapid decline in his health. He was later diagnosed with lactose intolerance and celiac disease. He later returned to vegetarianism. [90] [91]

Beginning in November 2018, Smith has claimed that rapper Tyler, the Creator is his boyfriend. [92] [93] Tyler, who is bisexual, denied this claim. [94] In the song "NOIZE" on Erys in 2019, Tyler revealed, while rapping, that their relationship claims were sarcastic. [95]

Smith has been called a non-binary icon for his work in popular media challenging traditional gender roles. [96] [97] He is often seen in gender-fluid clothing, [98] wearing dresses, skirts and high-heels. [99] For his Vogue Korea editorial in 2016, he wore traditionally female attire: a black skirt, blue nail polish, and a flower in his hair. [100] He has made public comments such as "If I Wanna Wear A Dress, Then I Will, And That Will Set The New Wave...". [101] He said that he wore skirts primarily to help kids to be bullied less in schools. [102]

In 2023, Smith was the subject of an online death hoax after Facebook posts and YouTube videos claimed that he had died. Posts on various social media platforms claimed that Will Smith publicly announced the death of his son. This resulted in fans Googling whether or not Jaden had died. Many of the posts referred to him as only 15 years old. [103]
