Willow Smith Says Being Considered a 'Nepo Baby' Drove Her to Work Hard 'to Prove Them Wrong'


The 'Whip My Hair' singer-rapper detailed in a new interview how she'd act whether or not her parents were famous.

Willow Smith is not afraid to admit that "a little bit of insecurity" -- stemming from her lineage -- has driven her to work really hard. Willow -- who like her famous mom and grandmother was a fixture on Red Table Talk-- is also adamant she doesn't fit the label as a Black woman in America. The "nepo baby" conversation came to the social conscious forefront in 2022 after New YorkMagazine's nepotism cover sparked a fiery discourse in Hollywood and beyond.
