Jaden Christopher Syre Smith (born July 8, 1998) is an American actor and rapper. He is the son of Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith. He is also known for odd, but poetic tweets that went viral starting in 2013, and for modelling in a skirt for Louis Vuitton.

Controversies had been aroused due to the fact that he is perceived as being riding on his parents fame while being actually talentless, which is no helped by him crafting a public persona of bizarre eccentricity in looks and speech that overshadows (and even tints) his professional work.
