'Weeping Willow'

While many tagged Willow, who identifies as bisexual and has several notable tattoos, including a matching one with her mother, Jada Pinkett Smith, and her grandma, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, as 'Weeping Willow', one of many wrote, "WILLOW, WE WANNA SEE U LAUGH." Some called it "nepotism tears." However, many suggested she take help. One wrote, "It's heartbreaking to see anyone like this. Please reach out to someone, anyone if you need to vent." Another quoted Shakira and said, "[It's] ok to cry babe… let that out… let time and continue… noting can’t stop you … @shakira once said, 'There is no pain that lasts a thousand years nor a body that can endure… let be!' Let love your body and be free my angel."

'I’m so inspired by you'

The post comes after Will shared a video that had him watching his daughter perform at Coachella, captioning it “WILLOWCHELLA!! He shared another footage where he confessed he “can’t stop crying!” Coachella also saw Jaden tagging along with Willow on stage to perform the siblings’ collaboration, ‘Summertime In Paris’. “It brings tears to me eyes as your brother to see you do this. I love you so much. I’m so inspired by you, I’m so inspired and happy for what you’re doing in the world and the amount of people’s lives you’re changing with the music that you’re making," Jaden told at that time, as per Billboard.
