Willow Smith Calls Out Jada Pinkett Smith On Double Standard Growing Up

Willow Smith States She Felt 'Shunned' by the African-American Community

Ever since the beginning of their hit Facebook show, Red Table Talk, the Smith’s personal lives have been brought to the forefront. In Tuesday’s episode, Willow called out her mother, Jada, for treating her differently than her brother Jaden when they were growing up.

Willow explained that when she and her brother were younger, their mother was tougher on Jada than she was Willow. “I also want to bring up, there is a difference in how Black moms will treat their daughters and their sons,” said Willow.

She then brought up that when they were younger Jada would be on Willow’s back about being ready for school. Willow would already be at the door while Jaden would be “getting his shoes on.”

Jada admitted to being harder on Willow than Jaden, saying that “For me, I knew that she’s gonna have it twice as hard. I needed you to be strong because I know what this world is like for us as Black women.” She would tell Jaden that she would let his father handle him. But Willow was all Jada’s to deal with.

However, Willow did admit that she learned a lesson from her mother’s double standard growing up. She attributes her work ethic to her mother. “I do be getting to work on time” and agreeing, “We have to work 10 times as hard.”

Jada called her and Willow’s conversation a “lightbulb moment,” allowing her to realize how her own projections might have impacted Willow. “So my fear for having a Black daughter—and what I felt like she needed to be in this world—put me in a position to be a little harder on her and that’s probably how we are with each other.”

Keyshia Cole’s Instagram Drama, Reactivation Sparks Firestorm Over Hunxho’s Steamy Shots with Gloss Up

Keyshia Cole‘s Instagram hiatus was short-lived, but the drama it stirred certainly wasn’t. The R&B star recently made waves by deactivating and then reactivating her account, all to address the sizzling controversy surrounding her boyfriend, Hunxho, and Gloss Up’s latest collaboration.

Earlier today, Gloss Up dropped the music video for their joint track “Come Here,” sending fans into a frenzy. But while the audience was grooving to the beat, Keyshia Cole was feeling anything but love. The video showcased Gloss Up and Hunxho in intimate scenes, from twerking to bathtub hangs, raising eyebrows especially since Cole and Hunxho only recently went public with their relationship.

In a swift social media move, Cole briefly disappeared from Instagram, prompting speculation. But Gloss Up’s subsequent posts, featuring cozy shots with Hunxho and suggestive captions, sparked Cole’s reactivation and a fiery clapback.

“Him playing the ‘sneaky link’ while I’m here thinking marriage? That’s just low,” Cole exclaimed, punctuating her response with laughter. Despite her disappointment, she extended well wishes to Gloss Up’s project, albeit with a hint of sarcasm.

The timeline of the photos remains a point of contention, with Cole asserting they were taken pre-relationship. Yet, Gloss Up’s persistent taunting on social media, including retweets hinting at a prior connection with Hunxho, keeps the tension alive.

As the internet buzzes with opinions on Gloss Up’s video and Cole’s candid reaction, Hunxho himself has remained relatively silent, save for a cryptic tweet. The drama continues to unfold, leaving fans eager for more updates.
