Jada and Will Smith want to give their kids space so they can grow as individuals, and not just within Hollywood– so it’s only fair for them to let their kids step away from the limelight as they please. That’s

Jada has always been the protector and great voice for her children in interviews and she explained recently about where Willow is with her music and that they just might collaborate together sometime in the future. The best part of it all for Jada is to see how her mentor, Jay-Z really supports his artists, including her daughter.

“She definitely wants to put an album out, but we’re trying to give her space to grow as an artist. Which is another reason why I adore Jay-Z, because he really understands that process. He’s so artist friendly, and he has so much love and respect for Willow. And he’s doing such a fantastic job being in partnership with us, in regards to her career and really helping her develop as an artist.”

On a hopeful collabo for the mother/daughter duo:”My music is like my freedom space. But Willow and I definitely talked about doing a collaboration. She really loves rock music, so she wants to come on and get crazy with me on a track. Which I would love, because she has a fantastic voice.”
