Jay-Z Signs Will Smith’s Daughter

Wednesday, September 08 2010 2:28 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, Gossip

Yesterday, a song called “Whip My Hair” by The Fresh Prince’s 9-year-old daughter, Willow made its rounds on the ‘net. I pretty much ignored it. But now, word on the curb is she’s J.Cole’s new labelmate. Geesh! Never saw this one coming. Peep Rihanna Jr.’s new tune below.

UPDATE: Oy vey, it’s true.

    apart from this kid having some real potential to become a star….. no child her age should ever say “whip it real hard” in their song.

  2. grime says:

    damn the lil nigga from karate kid singin now. wtf happened to his bush?

  3. Abc123g says:

    Wow Hov signed her?! This is some crazy shit. Will Smith have the most talented family forreal. DAMNN

  4. AroundTheWorld says:

    She will be burned out by the time she turns 16 and will slowly fade away.Bieber will thankfully do the same.

  5. Dispicable says:

    she will be a child star,but when she is reaching the teens,her voice will crack and she wont get it back.Happens to ALOT of these kids

  6. Sharita says:

    I am really happy for Willo!!!! I like the song, it is a good start. I think she is going to be it!! Will and Jada my hat goes off to you both because you have really raised beautiful talented chidren. Who care about the negative people out here that needs to get a life! Willo, keep making fun, positive songs because we need more positivity instead of negativity. Fan of the entire family!!!!

  7. mac OIL says:

    jay-z sucks sing with kids niggaa!!!!!

    Hip hop* dead* RNB RADAR

  8. Jersey says:

    Willow is the hottest chick in the game right now.
    Watch ya back Nicki minaj!!

  9. The same arguments over Jay-Z happen under every post.

  10. Young Mo Fo says:

    I’m hearing mad haters… Isn’t this about Willow Smith? I could swear it was supposed to be but haters gon hate.

    She got somebody feeding her a career! Production and songwriting sounds pretty good, so she might have a career. I’m kinda confused of what her audience is going to be…

  11. Young Mo Fo says:

    P.S.
    Why does everyone hate Justin Beiber? Did he fuck your moms?
    LMAO
    I dont hate him, just dont listen to his music, its that simple.
    I understand him and his family want money, so they go get it. SHIEEET.
    If I could sing and make 2 million bucks a year, I would grab the chance fast as a fat chick would a cheeseburger.

    Niggas be green these days, instead of chasin the green.

  12. Belize says:

    :/ Maybe in a few years.

  13. dainventah says:

    Will Smith’s daughter<<<<<<<Lawrence Fishburne's daughter LMAO!!

    unfortunately though, both of them are "whipping it real hard"

  14. dat k00n nigga says:

    fuck diz lil jig a boo

  15. ruffnax says:

    well she actually sounds mature ….. i know computers are heavily used but her voice is mature and quite surprising for a nine year old America America…….you done it again..

  16. flawda says:

    You got to respect hpw these prominent African Americans are connecting and building wealth. As for the chick, she has talent and their is definitely a market for her with the Justin Beiber crowd and Miley Cyrus being older now. I wish her luck!

  17. They call me Slim Roethlisberger says:

    Thats a pretty good song for a 9 year old. I doubt see wrote it, but her singing voice sounds good.

    Is roc nation goin to be around long enough for her to release an album. i thought that live nation was shuttin down. maybe not?

  18. SayAHHHHHisanidiot says:

    @SayAHHHHH Just because youve heard “who dat” doesnt make you a J. Cole expert.. and it certainly doesn’t give you right to hate on him. Ever heard his Come Up/Warm Up?Nigga from the Ville mixtapes? You haven’t? So fuck off you prick.

  19. Tru says:

    @ Herb I feel you but push that to ’93 lol

    But yea I am kinda upset that the upbringing in the game now is less of a protege thing and more “If you can make money, imma co-sign” I record tracks in my spare time but I’m not gonna do no lame “go to my myspace” just watch out for “Tru” I’ll deliver … Haha off topic…

    The song was decent, I do agree that if she wrote that herself it’s good, I believe her target audience should be her age group, and as she grows up make a little more mature music, stay relevant but not annoying that’s the problem with a lot of artist, having one good song on the radio is waaay better than 5 average songs that get played to much, haha not like she’s reading this but if she does this I guarantee people like me will follow her all the way through

  20. sunnybunny88 says:

    PLEASE LET THIS LITTLE GIRL HAVE FUN AND DO HER THING!!!!!!!!!! DAMN.

  21. BigBoydaKing says:

    Pimping out all their dam kids Will should be ashame but Jay is just being a businessman cant hate on that! And i she has self-respect for herself in the near furture i hope they raise her better so she want turn out like fishburn daughter! Smh Real Talk

  22. dani says:

    i like it.. for a kid. it’s not terrible.

    at 9, i was probably still thinking the coodies were real.
    i see you lil willow!!

  23. serpentor says:

  29. Ac@pella! says:

    Lol. This really ain’t half bad. It’s sounds better than 90% of the bullshit comin’ out of the South (majority of the rap industry) about shawtys, swag, Patron, kush, stoopid fruity anythings, bricks, more shawtys, swag again, leeeeeeggggoooooo!!!, trappin’, the trap, trapstars, trappers, trapperkeepers, trapeez acts, and even more swag…

  36. Drucifer says:

    LOL, Jay probably would sign this. Fuckin Pathetic, I always defended Will Smith but by allowing this to happen he’s proving he has absolutely NO RESPECT for the Culture that made him who he is

    SMH

  37. Teddy says:

    man this is good i was expecting some straight bullshit thinkin wats with these babies (justin beiber diggie) making records but this is good sounds alot older than 9 years old

  38. The Editor says:

    I really think that if you took your time and made a comment on a 9 year old, as being bad, you are what’s wrong with America, seriously I cannot wait for Google to expose people, and when you say something, ya picture just comes up, rapradar should get verified comments, you cannot post unless you join, charge these people, than we will see if it is opinion or whoever is real

    Willow, good job, puffy should put her on that good site for civilized folk, but you guys are funny when going in, so keep it up, just not on the kids, under 16, leave em alone

  39. LOL. says:

    damn she has an amazing voice for a 9 year old give her that beat is nice i wouldnt be surprise if she made it big then make a video and she’s dancing and everyone says she’s a hoe and a slut like every girl out there in the industry. i can see this geetting radio play

  40. Its me baby says:

    Haters will hate, Willow will keep whipping her hair haaa

  41. Young Mo Fo says:

    lmao^^

    Jay-Z…..
    Rocafella failed
    RocNation is headed down the same path.
    Maybe you can wait for one to be successful before you start filling the roster?
    Especially with a risk like Willow, 9 years old making music that is older than her.
    Her audience will have to grow with her either way, but its harder for her than for j.cole
    shoulda just promoted one and kept the other on hold.
    I mean Kanye is CEO so idk what really goes on with all this

  46. iDLifted says:

    Lmao at all these comments. She’s 9 people let her do her thing. Fucking ignorant bastards criticizing a 9 year old. And shout out to Jay-Z for giving the girl a chance and let her LEARN about the music business at a young age.

  47. WOWWTF says:

    She has less style in this pic than Will had in the Fresh Prince opening.
    Good for her, however. I hope her career works out and if a lesbian looking man called Justin Beiber can succeed, I’m sure she can too.
