not really true just a question of self awareness

Nailed it.

Fr like I don’t have the equipment to produce music I can sing and I’ve written songs I just don’t have the equipment

Not to mention the ease with which they were able to be heard by "regular people". How many equally talented musicians spend their entire lives playing small gigs who never even get a shot at the dream. That she's lying to herself about not taking it for granted leaves a sour impression.

@@macaroni_and_salsa its not cheap…and people don’t understand the time commitment, not everyone can just pursue a dream without any repercussions if that dream fails, most of us don’t have parents that can lift us up everytime we fall🥹

You guys are completely right with all of this. She's definitely caught the affluenza. I wonder if she truly believes that being Will Smith's daughter hasn't paved her life with a road of gold?

@@christopherhammond5142 she definitely has talent, but the fame of her father has definitely given her more popularity

Not that she's rich...her parents are wealthy and have ties in entertainment... Both parents... She's automatically had a trust fund at birth the day she turned 18 I guarantee she got some form of dividend payments in the millions... I would think a child making money decisions at 10 are definitely children benefitting from their parents

I love some of her music but she is 100% a Nepo baby!

Yea was born on third base but pulled the race card like she would be where she is if it wasn't for Will mostly, and Jada influence in Hollywood

I think she's naturally talented, and her parents have nothing to do with it. She could have gotten famous without them with luck, like every other artist. But they did help dispite her doing a lot on her own. She does get hate online for being black, I believe that, people try to downplay her art because of her parents and because most whites are nepo and privileged that it's not even talked about, and the one and few lucky black celeb kids always get called out and I'm sick of it.

I suppose this is also why child prodigys and stars often become more and more famous as time comes because they can build more skills without depending on it at all, while being able to hire teachers and people to focus even more on it.

That would be useless. Literally useless.

Her music is pretty good though ngl

​​@@YTT718 it's almost like when people have money backing them they can focus on the arts (it's been statistically proven with a monetary backing or support people are more likely to have the freedom to focus more on arts) but go on dog someone in the same boat as you to protect a nepo baby in denial. I've also listened to her music, it's not bad but it's not crazy good, her best work is as a feature artist with producers and writers backing her that wouldn't back a nobody from nowhere.

Completely agree. I don’t know her music at all but if she got Emmy nominated then she’s got at least some talent. These people just need to acknowledge the fact they are a nepo babies but it wouldn’t take away from their talent, for those that have it. I mean Julia Louis Dreyfus (Elaine from Seinfeld) is a great actress and very funny, or Ben Stiller as well (although it took a while for him to admit it his dad’s fame helped). Just own it and move on.

Sue got her first single/music video at 10, that is extremely hard to get without nepotism being involved. She also released 3 albums before one charted, how many get 3 tries to chart before the studios say no more?

In the old times, there was a cast system where depending on your parents jobs, you could do either one, but it also affected your social standing. This was also heavily enforced where if someone who was caught playing "above their station", they were pubished severely. In those times, actors were beneath beggars. They also weren't allowed to testify at trial because they could lie convincingly. Funny how the past mightve had a good reason for why they did certain things.

So what is the solution?Ban the kids of artists from taking up the family business?Leaving aside the constitutionality of such laws would this apply to other fields as well say doctors?To be honest at least as artists if you genuinely suck at it sooner or later no parent will be able to keep you in the business. People will simply not watch you and the media moguls will say 'Sorry Will but we did everything and she still sucks nobody listens to this.' Its far more damaging to society to have the son of corporate head x take over the family business than this. In the grand scheme of things those are a bit more important. When those take over they take over behind closed doors. You don't know what they're doing. A bad artist you'll notice it quickly.

Yep, that's exactly right. Not having enough connections prevents so much talent from being discovered

exactly

you gonna cry about it 😂😂😂

And those "Right connections" tend to come at a cost they want something that the talented person doesn't want to give & shouldn't have to give.

I mean both kids are.

“hard stop” proceeds to soft stop

She gets it from her mother

Because Nepo babies fear that all their personal effort will be diminished due to their upbringings. Growing up in that environment is a breeding ground for imposter syndrome and inferiority complexes. They feel being a nepo baby means they didn't have to try in any way to gain a reputation. In reality, most music fans don't really care about the upbringing of those they listen to.

Being called a nepo baby is basically an insult at this point. Basically saying that you’re only successful because of luck and not talent and skill.

credit where it is due yes, but I wouldn't want 'nepo baby' to be my identity and the only thing people ever see me as. I'd rather be seen as someone successful because I worked hard, honored my talent with long hours of practice and trial and error, not because my parents are famous too.

@@antoinefields390being a Nepo baby, regardless if you’re talented or not, makes the way you start off 10x easier if not more. Especially with the wealth your parents have. You get so much time to focus on your craft rather than worrying about when you’ll get your next meal.

@@Doku666 yes you’re right but as I said it isn’t a title you want to be known for when your trying to make a name for yourself.

The other side of the coin is that most of the music that is popular sucks ass. A real artist isn't in it for the money and fame. Plenty of big name bands came out of other places like NY, Texas, Boston, Seattle.. I agree with your point though. Many incredible song writers never get heard. But touring isn't for everyone. Many artists don't deal well in social situations or want anything to do with the music business. And as we've seen many can't handle the fame and what comes with it..

​@@scottashe984there's also the fact that since she came from a family with money she didn't get caught up in any of the pit holes that certain new artists get caught up in.

@@CharlotteMacrickens I agree that's actually a Good question , I wonder if Willow and Jaden felt he was defending their Mom or ashamed of the Situation or even just confused

@dary0097 Well, that problem hasn't been resolved since that very moment and everybody has forgotten about it.

No one knew she was the one making viral music on Tik tok. She was lowkey hiding her identity. She has privileges because of money but nepotism is using very specific connections to get ahead. Money is not enough for it to be considered nepotism. That's why it is emphasized that she specifically avoided every opportunity her parents tried to hand her on a silver platter. You can't really fake it when it comes to music. At least not for a very long time. Legacies usually end after the first generation. Almost everyone in the Jackson family can sing dance and play instruments but the next generation is not going to be famous singers.

@@JamieBleuShe wasn’t hiding shit. People still knew it was her. Bffr

@@JamieBleuI can guarantee she didn’t produce half those songs… she made lyrics and sang well and she’s talented. But that doesn’t take away from other people mixing, mastering, producing, arranging, sound designing. Things you’ve probably never done before or thought of, and the fact you’re ignorant to that shows you don’t understand you’re talking about. You can’t just magically make a well produced song out of thin air without AI. It’s like saying only the singer of a band is talented and nobody else helped at all, which is very untrue. +the music industry is 100% a scam and most views are botted to reach high views whether the artists realize it or not. Nobody reaches that level of success that young without help from someone somehow, and the obvious conclusion is her parents.

@@JamieBleuyeah, none of that is true. She’s been singed to a major record label(ROC Nation) since she was 9-10, before she ever released a song, and she was managed by her father’s management company until 2019 when Will Smiths management company was bought by her record labels management company. Her first single “whip my hair” was announced by her mom on the late show a couple days before its release, and it charted at number 11 on the billboard 200. Not only has her parents put her in movies as well, but they also both promoted her music everywhere thruout her entire career. She had Nicki Minaj as a feature on her 2nd ever single. She has ALWAYS had a major label and a huge management team behind her, not to mention having the biggest producers, mixers, musicians, writers, and biggest artists as features on her records. Look, she can’t change that fact that she was born as Will Smith’s daughter, and that shouldn’t be held against her just for being who she is, but that doesn’t change the fact that she is the absolute epitome of a Nepo baby, just out of the gate getting signed to a major label before she ever released a song. The best thing she could do, is just own the fact that she has an immense amount of privilege, and just say; “Hey, I know my parents are a huge part of where I am today, and I’ve had a huge leg up in life, but the music I write is my own music that I wrote and whether is good or bad is completely on me, despite whether it does well or not.” Of course that’s assuming that she actually writes and produces all her music…which she doesn’t, but I did only see like 5 co-writers on her 2nd most recent album, so that’s better than Drake!

Aint that the sad truth...

Lets hope so.

Elites don’t learn or adapt/change because they’re already at the top of the world so there’s no need to change. Unless she gets stranded on a deserted island she’ll never understand or learn anything.

@@lourencovieira313 I meant that a lot of celebs, change their names to try to break away from the family influence.

Ect. From being babies their parents put them in the limelight, gave them their platforms.

Not necessarily about that

Maybe this was taken out of context

And let's be honest, racism is actually a poor people thing. Sure, poor black people get targeted more than poor white people but it's not so much about race as it is power. Wealthy white people and wealthy black people are basically immune besides the maybe odd isolated and rare incident for black people (I mean in real life, not the internet because everybody gets attacked for everything on the internet).

This.

Plus if you do add in the power of her name, ANY producer is going to absolutely jump to sign her if she is even halfway decent. If she is a naturally good singer she wouldn't even need any training or resources that her family could provide because the name alone will get her signed up and they'll do the work to make her music marketable - bypassing the years of training and experience usually required.

She getting impulsed by the fame of being the girl that did "i whip my hair" and is will smith kid is already of a good buster, however there is out there more people with even more talent that didn't get the grasp that she had, black or not

The fact is- it’s _possible_ she could have gotten famous without her parents, but there’s no way to know for sure either way. It’s not her fault, but they absolutely contributed majorly to her success.
